    The forward roll is one of the most basic gymnastics moves, where the gymnast crouches down with hands on the mat shoulder-width apart, then tucks their head and rolls forward onto their shoulders and upper back while keeping their head tucked and legs together for safety, and finishes in a seated position with feet close behind to allow continuing into a standing position with arms overhead.

    10 BASIC SKILLS IN

    GYMNASTICS
    1. Forward Roll
    • You may have heard of the roly-poly, which is formally called the forward roll. The forward roll is
    one of the most basic and essential moves in gymnastics.
    • The number one thing to remember when performing this move is to keep your head tucked. Keep
    it tucked as if you were trying to press your chin on your chest.
    • Executing this technique is critical for the safety of the neck. Ensuring that you have a tucked head
    and the legs are together are the two most essential steps to doing the forward roll correctly and
    safely.
    • Beginning in a standing position, crouch down, placing your hands on the mat shoulder-width
    apart. Afterward, tuck your head and lean forward onto your toes and lift your hips to begin rolling.
    • Next, roll onto your shoulders and upper back, follow through to the seated position. Your feet
    should remain close to your behind, enabling you to continue to roll forward.
    • You’ll transition from sitting onto your feet to a rising and standing position with arms extended
    over your head.
