Straight Jump Mount Beam

[Ella]

I have several gymasts working on a straight jump mount for beam (grade 2) Just wondering if anyone has any good tips for teaching this, i have got them doing beautiful straight jumps onto platforms, marking the beam width etc, however when try to take it onto the beam, they are leaning too far fowards and bendig their legs, presuming it might be a fear thing, but have tried different things to fix it but nothing works!

I used the floor beam as it is the width most of them have a problem with, I then progressed onto a middle size beam and so on

Hope that helps
