Not all coaches require you to do one- but if you have to tumble, try to learn a front walk-over... they are super-easy. I learned how to do one in an hour.

How do you learn the back handspring?
You have to make sure you have a really good roundoff. If you have. Really high rebound doing a back handspring will be much easier. So after you have a good roundoff with. High rebound then get a spotter and have them spot you for a back handspring. You want to do your roundoff and jump back not up and keep your legs straight. You don't want to land in the same spot you started you want to land a lot farther back. The more power you have the less the spotter will need to spot you and eventually you will get your back handspring by yourself!! Good luck!
How do you do a back handspring?
The back handspring is a difficult movement for a beginner, but once you learn the art of a back handspring, it becomes easier. First you need to stretch your arms, back, and legs. Then you'll need a spotter. If you don't have a spotter and your a beginner, please wait until you get a spotter, because it is a proven fact that you can break your back or neck doing a back handspring without a spotter. Before you start your back handspring, make sure your in a proper position. Start with your feet together and arms up. Your spotter should be holding your back with one hand, and his/her other hand on your thighs. Next, lean back like you are sitting in a chair, knees directly over your legs. Then, jump and push through your toes while your shoulders go down, and push your feet over the top and to a standing position. Also make sure you can see your hands the whole time. If your at a gym ask if they have any boulders to practice with (just make sure the barrel isn't too small). It is important you work on pretty solid handstands before you try this so your hands can support your weight, so when you go back you don't land on your head and break your neck. You need to work on a lot of bridges, they will help your body be in the correct stretches and shapes for the back handspring. And that is how you do a back handspring.
How do you spot a back half on the trampoline?
Assuming you mean back handspring by back half... Basically the same as if you're on the ground. Kneel behind the person and put one hand near their lower back (you can use two, but one should be fine). Guide them as they jump back. Basically just place your hand under their back and make sure they don't land on their head - push them over in the end if they need a little help getting over. Of course, your spotting will depend on how well the person can do a back handspring already. If they need a lot of help with their back handspring and you're not really sure what you're doing - DO NOT SPOT THEM. They will most likely get hurt without a proper spotter, which it sounds like you're not.

Do a back handspring?
You might want to start out with learning how to go into a bridge WITHOUT starting on the ground. A back handspring would be easier if you know how to do a handstand. First you jump up then swiftly thrust your self backward so your pretty much in a bridge form but before your feet touch the ground catch yourself with the hands. Throw your feet into the air and back on to the ground. You should be standing. Remember to stretch yourself out first. My answer Sit back as if on a seat or a toilet. Then swing ur arms back and sit back and jump back, long and low, not up and straight down. Make sure u dont jump up and put your hands where your feet were. Try on if available a mat, if not a grassy piece of land.
