I was waiting for summer tumbling to have the wedge mat to be able to use. But I went Tuesday night and got it 2 inches off the ground. I should have it very soon.
Thanks for your opinion.
I now have it off the lowest point on the wedge mat about 2-3 inches off the ground. I got it on the trampoline four times. I push off my toes. But when I get tired the toe strategy doesn't work. Any tips? Should I try to go flat footed and kick over?
I need a backbend kickover ASAP. I was supposed to have it before we started competing a year ago. But I had every other skill so I put it off. My back isn't very flexible but I can do a backbend now. My shoulders aren't flexible and that's the problem. I can do a kickover off of the lowest...
I won't be able to do backbend kickovers on the wedge mat until may. But then once a week at tumbling, I'll spend awhile doing kickovers. I got my backbend most of the time. My back is getting more flexible.
Thank you so much! I'm sure your back and shoulders were much more flexible than mine. I started again when I was 13 going on 14 which is why I lost tons of flexibility. Thanks for the help.
I need it by August for the next level. I don't have a backbend kickover because my back and shoulders are stiff. Is it possible to gain back and shoulder flexibility and get a backbend kickover by then? That is the one skill that will move me forward. I am prepared to work hard enough to get it...
Thank you!! Does anyone have any suggestions or a university that treasures their NAIGC team and has a good business program? I want to choose a university that prioritizes their club gymnastics more than other colleges do. I know some colleges care more and have a better facility.
How do I get into NAIGC and if I go to a college that has a team can I just sign up? It says on their FAQs that people who even have no experience can do it. How do I get involved? If I go to a college for it am I guaranteed into the program? I want to compete all through college.
I started...
Can anyone tell me more about NAIGC? If I find the college I want to go to how does it work. I'm coming from a competitive YMCA and will be around a level 4-6. Do I have to be apart of a club first? The website confused me.
I went to the website and it said something about being in a club that competes NAIGC. Can I go to a college that competes it and do it or is it more difficult. Someone explain it all.
Back and shoulder flexibility are the reasons I don't have about 10 skills. Bridges are harder to hold up than it is for other girls because my shoulders are stiff. This summer I want to gain a lot of flexibility for next competition season.
I think anything in the 9s is good. I've only had one competition. And I placed 1st all around. 1st on beam and bars. 3rd on vault and second on floor. I didn't think I did my best but I didn't make any major mistakes. I know exactly what to fix but what is a good score in your opinion and a...
Any tips? I'm 14 and will be 15 in July so obviously I'm old for level one which is the old level 2 in Amerikids. I've never done this before so I'm nervous. I just don't want to mess up. And I want to win! But of course I won't be upset if I don't medal. I started again late so I'm getting into...
My coaches make sure my hips are squared. Thanks for the tips! I need to work on shoulder and back flexibility if you have any tips other than backbends.
