To do a backhand spring, it is very important that your legs, ankles, feet, arms, wrist, back and neck are stretched out, so you aren't stiff or anything like that when you go to do your backhand spring.
To do a backhand spring, start standing up straight with your shoulders stretched, and your arms up. Then lean back like your are sitting in a chair with your knees lined up with your ankles and your arms going out in front of you. Then as you lean back some more so your back is lined up with your waste, bring your arms back above your head. Then jump and bring your arms to te ground as your legs go up and land in a handstand, with your legs behind you and your toes pointed. If yo are beginning, just bring your legs down. If you are used to it, try and spring your legs up.and land in a standing position.
You're probably a beginner since you're looking up this question. If so, I recommend you get a spotter so you don't break your back, neck etc. That can easily happen when you're a beginner because you probably not do the positions right, which will cause your back to jerk if it is to fast for you, and You might fall and break either your back or neck. If you are a beginner and can't find a spotter, please don't do it anyways. Just wait until you have someone to spot you. Then when you have a spotter, Make him/her keep you in the positions for a little bit so your body can get used to them. As you get used to it, go faster and when you are ready, try going by yourself. And try your best, if it doesn't work keep trying. And eventually you will do it.
However, Do not do this on, cement, grass, dirt, rock, pavement etc. Make sure you are on mats or a trampoline. And if you are used to it, you can try on beams. If you are new to this, don't try it on beams unless you get good at it.
Remember to be safe as you do this and
follow these directions!

A backhand spring is actually very easy, so easy that anyone can do it. No matter how scared, or brave, fat, or skinny. You have to have guts and be determined on what you want. Your arms have to be locked, and your body has to be tight. Not strait, but tight so it will be easier to get over.
Can you learn a backhand spring in less than a week to impress your gymnastics teacher but is there anyway that to learn at home without equipment?
First of all it depends what level you are at. If you can already do backhand springs on a trampoline, on an incline, or with spot then getting it on floor will be easier. However if you are basically starting from scratch it will be harder. try practicing: going into your starting position for backhand spring then jumping back on to something like your bed. Also if you check youtube there may be videos that teach you how. ...i hope this helped you because i remember when i was learning my backhand spring and how hard i thought it was, but when you get it it's actually pretty easy :) GOODLUCK AND DOBN'T GIVE UP!! :)

Do you have to know how to do a back hand spring or back tuck to get into southern high school team?
I'd say yes, you'd have to have a backhand spring atleast. A back tuck would obviously give you more points to get you on the squad. It would depend on how good your tumbling is if you don't do a back tuck or backhand spring. Let's say you do a backwalkover. If it is really well and you do it 3 times in a row, then that could bump up your points to get on. Hope this helped!
