This presentation includes the progressions to teach taking weight on hands to get knees onto a tabletop. This includes a hurdle step and learning how to spot a partner when trying to get knees to a tabletop. 

## Hurdle Step

In gymnastics vaulting, the hurdle step is a crucial transition movement that gymnasts use to generate power and momentum. It occurs after the run-up and before the takeoff from the floor or springboard. The hurdle step helps gymnasts efficiently transfer their forward speed into an upward and forward motion, enabling them to achieve the necessary height and distance for the vault.

## Spotting Knees to Tabletop

Having a spotter can be very helpful for first-time learners. The spotter's main job is to prevent the vaulter from over-rotating when they land on the tabletop.
