Balance is a huge component of gymnastics and drills can enhance performance. Drills for balance include single-leg squats, step-ups to balance, single-leg stabilization with single-arm press, and multiplanar hops. Balance drills can be challenged with unstable tools such as a foam pad, half foam roller, or dyna disc.
