<aside> 🔎
Focus: Round off
</aside>
| Progression 1 (Intro) | Cartwheel or Cartwheel step in |
| Progression 2 | Cartwheel step in landing on Pannel mat |
| Progression 3 | Round off to belly - Hands on floor land on mat stack |
| Progression 4 | Round off to Knees - Hands on floor land on mat stack in hollow shape with bottom tucked |
| Progression 5 | Round off on flat floor |
<aside> ❓
The Why? Round off sets the foundation for back tumbling, it is important to get the shape technique understood before adding skills behind the round off
</aside>
<aside> 🚧
Corrections: Landing with feet together, ribcage round and bottom tucked. Show a shrug through entire skill and keep body tension

| Progression 1 (Intro) | Half-moon on block (balancing on one side touching mat) |
| Progression 2 | Half-moon variation against wall/block |
| Progression 3 | Cartwheel against wall |
| Progression 4 | Cartwheel step-in against wall |
| Progression 5 | Cartwheel step-in BHS with/out octagon |
<aside> ❓
The Why? This will be hard for some athletes as we move through our cartwheel body shapes against the wall. The wall will help reinforce head in and legs OVER the body, not helicopter around.

<aside> 🚧
Corrections: Our cartwheels move from a closed hip position to an open hip position. These drills will get athletes ready to stack their hips through the movement. Remind them to really square their body to the side!
