Meg ~ there are a handful of girls that are so close to having their kip. I'm sure it will take months before they get it right. For some reason my dd is having trouble with the squat on the low bar. We have a bar at home and I may have her start to work on that a little. It is fun to see them progress!
Yes, it is a lot of fun when they get a new skill and it thrills them to no end and the kip is a biggie. Over half of our Level 4 team has their kips so L really wants to get hers too. The squat on has never been difficult for her - short legs I guess! I am sure your dd will get that soon.
my dd loves to work on her kips. She is still L3 - we are keeping our fingers crossed that she will go to L4 in May. She tries kips every chance she gets. But she has a while till she needs it. I know that is one thing I never got when I took gym as a kid. She does have ROBHSBHSBHS so that is covered
good luck to everyone who is trying new skills - which is probably everyone
Fingers crossed on that squat on. That is one skill that I didnt think DD would EVER not fall on!
She still falls on them (Just doesnt get her chest over the bar) but at least she can do the Stupe circle now which is supposed to elimate the fall deduction. ( I still think that points are taken.. but that is just my opinion!)
My DD has also finally moved past the landing on her head ROBHS and graduated to doing 2 on the floor and 3 on tumble track. The first time she did it on the floor I was in shock because I didn't know she could do one, she never mentioned it to me. I guess to them it's no biggie anymore, LOL
OK, what's the next skill we should worry about, LOL
Netty---congrats to your dd!!! I won't remind you that I told you it would happen after the season was over(ok--just did). Many times once the pressure is off, the skills just come and they keep coming. The timing of the gymnast getting a skill and doing it well doesn't always coincide with meet schedules.
Blakie--Next big skill is the kip on bars. It can drive some kids crazy and others just seem to "get it." Unlike the mill circle, it will be used at each level, so getting that skill really solid is important.
Maybe we ought to start a thread for Skills like we had for meets coming up. There will be lots of posts about new skills now that most have ended or are close to ending their seasons.
