You should be able to introduction the Front Giant just as early, if not earlier than the back giant. Here are a couple of fun drills for the young gymnasts to get comfortable with the front giant at an early age.

Introduce the Front Giant to 5 & 6 year olds drill 1 -This drill helps the young gymnast feel going over the bar forward, hanging on all the way around the bar and the wrist shift on the upside.

Introduce the Front Giant to 5 & 6 year olds drill 2 - This drill helps the young gymnast with their hollow shaping the how to hang onto the bar.

Happy coaching,
