A complete beam drill progression built for competitive gymnastics coaches — not a recycled list of basics.

This guide breaks beam work down into ready-to-run drills: foundational drills that build control and confidence on the four inches, correction drills for the breakdowns coaches see most often (wobbles, hesitation before leaps and turns, landing control), and bridge drills that move gymnasts safely toward harder skills and combinations. Every drill is written to be pulled straight into a practice plan — no guesswork about how or when to use it.

Built for competitive team coaches specifically. If you’re troubleshooting a stuck skill or planning out a season’s beam progressions, this gives you the tools to do it.

Backed by two decades in the sport and a decade coaching competitive gymnasts, Jaeger Gymnastics built this guide from what actually works in the gym.
