THE ROLL PROGRESSION : Page 21
LET YOURSELF DOWN EASILY WITH ARMS, DUCKING HEAD (b);
LAND ON NECK AND SHOULDERS—NOT HEAD (c); TUCK TIGHTLY—CHIN ON CHEST—ROLL LIKE A BALL (d);
HOLD THE TUCK UNTIL YOU COME TO BALANCE ON FEET; KEEP HEELS WIDE AND CLOSE TO BUTTOCKS (e).
HINTS TO BEGINNERS: Throughout this tumbling program, always do the whole stunt but concentrate on only one fundamental at a time. In this stunt the first objective should be to learn how to duck the head and let the body down easily,
rolling on the neck and shoulders. Next, learn how to tuck correctly and quickly. Last, concentrate on the finish of the roll. To learn to roll correctly, it is good practice to lie on the back in the tuck position and rock back and forth.
