The front handspring is an important gymnastics skill that serves as a transition from beginner-level rolling and static balances to more advanced tumbling. It is, therefore, a skill highly desired by beginners. Early learning requires a great deal of effort during which students experience many failed attempts. Unless they are highly motivated, early failure can lead some students to cease trying. The purpose of this article is to describe how the front handspring might be taught in a way that contributes to early success. The author describes front handspring progression and presents three phases of front handspring: (1) Approach Phase; (2) Support/Spring Phase; and (3) Landing Phase. The progression consists of several tasks for each phase and followed by tasks that simplify execution of the "whole" skill. (Contains 2 figures.)
