Rolls Cont'd (gymnastics)

Sideways roll - A sideways roll is also known as a log roll, barrel or pencil roll.
How to do a sideways roll - this can be started by lying down on the back with the body outstretched, the gymnast then rolls onto their side and does a complete rotation of the body, remaining parallel to the performing surface. 

Tucked sideways roll - this begins with the gymnast starting in a kneeling position, with the gymnast sitting back onto their heels with their head and arms in an outstretched position like the child pose in yoga. from here, the gymnast rolls onto their side with their legs maintaining the tucked position and onto their knees again.

Teddy bear or Tin solider roll - This roll starts by sitting on the floor in a straddle position. The legs are held below the knees and the body leans over towards the shoulder on one side. The gymnast then folds more tightly until they roll over their back and return to a sitting straddle position.
