    WAG Grips - team now being required to all get same brand

    now for my above reply , i find that this is completely different either they are having money troubles and don't know what to do or they are just trying to get your money... at least that is what it sounds like.

    WAG Grips - team now being required to all get same brand

    That is kind of a bad comparison. Ordering grips is different than teaching a child. If you bought a table and you gave it to someone and it broke when you put something on it, does that mean you should buy the table again for someone else? I wouldn't. Every child is different, yes, but if my...

    Almost Time

    I'm quitting for numerous reasons and my teammates are not one of them I just recently found out that those girls were quitting but obviously some I knew but others I didn't. I've decided to quit before I knew they were. One of the biggest reason was school I just can't keep up and I am...

    Almost Time

    Hi, I'm 14 (15 in like a month or so) and been at my gym for more than 12 years, been competing for 6 years. Well its almost time for me to become a "former gymnast" and I've found out that a lot of my teammates are quitting also(mostly optional). My coaches know now of everybody that is...

    WAG Gabby Douglas reality show

    Well making it to Rio will be a stretch and (not that I don't love gabby or anything) I would be surprised if gabby made a good enough comeback to go back to the olympics. The reality show just doesn't seem plausible if she is working towards the olympics

    WAG Level 4 Bars help

    Bars is tough to get the hang of... I'm a level 8 this year and have 2 state bar championships (got 1st at bars twice at state (different years)) but my first year 5 (level 4 now) I was getting the lowest scores on the team and didn't even have my kip until early-mid season. Anyways I've found...

    WAG The place of loyalty in gymnastics?

    We had this thing a couple of years ago when one of the coaches tried to take over ( he was the dad of one of the gymnast) and the owner/head coach said no. He got mad adn left with his DD and made a new gym. Many girls left, some of the gymnast felt betrayed but the coaches were just a little...

    How tall are you?

    5' 2" or 3" and 14 almost 15. My friend is maybe 5'8" or 9" and great at bars. I am actually short at my gym.

    WAG We have grips......that are still too big, I'm afraid!

    Her coach might actually check for that sort of thing too. But I don't know what you guys do at your gym.

    WAG We have grips......that are still too big, I'm afraid!

    Oh and make sure she checks grip lock somewhat often. When I first got those pair of grips they were no where close, after less than a year they were 1/4 inch touching. But I think that is just because of how I wear them. Just be careful.

    WAG We have grips......that are still too big, I'm afraid!

    Yes or too long, my last pair stretched out to be dangerously close. But she has small hands, so even though they are big they may not stretch out over the bar, you will just have to check.

    WAG We have grips......that are still too big, I'm afraid!

    Well grip lock is when the leather near your fingers and the leather near your wrist touch causing it to "lock" in place. Could cause breaks and stuff, very scary. Though I haven't heard of too many cases. Just make sure she can't touch the leather together when her hand is on the bar...
