Here are two ways to practice press to handstands.....

~The first way is to practice them against a wall on a floor bar. Have your gymnast kick to handstand on the floor bar against the wall then slowly straddle down....keeping her shoulders and back against the wall have her touch her big toe to the bar and then straddle back up to handstand. Once they have the strength to do that press to handstands will be a lot easier.

~The second way involves using some frisbees. Have your gymnast go into a push up position with each foot in a separate frisbee. Then have your gymnast slowly push her shoulders over her hands and then pull her feet, in the frisbees, up to her hands. This will get the muscles needed to do a press to handstand much stronger.
