However, at ma place.. we dont have any contraptions or trampolines(i live in India with no gymnastic facility nearby).
Any suggestions on learnin backfllips in this case

It really can be this easy to teach a newbie a back flip if they come into the game with the strength enough to propel themselves. I think that is mostly the culprit of getting many of the kids to do standing backs is when they really aren't strong enough and have to modify/shortcut the technique.
