    WAG How much harder to go from yurchenko tuck to pike to layout?

    hi, my daughter had a successful level 8 season despite her wrist problems in the beginning of the season. She scored a 9.275 on her vault at regionals and has been pretty much getting that score since the beginning of the season. At one point her coach was going to teach her the yurchenko pike...

    WAG Throwing shoulders and head back in back tuck

    Hi! I'm struggling with some girls who are throwing their head and shoulders backwards when doing a standing back tuck as they would do in a backhandspring. Other than squeezing a sponge between your chin and neck and jumping straight up unto a pile of mats and then doing a tuck, what other...

    Coaches drills for front tuck half

    Some of the recreational girls I coach want to begin learning front tuck halves, however, I have no idea how to go about teaching them the twist. Any drills or advice would be appreciated.

    Parents Experience with come back/regaining skill after back tuck fall?

    Anyone have any experience with coming back and regaining a robhs back tuck after a fall? My daughter had newly learned hers and had just moved to unspotted and had a weird 'freak out' moment doing one, and basically stopped mid air. Kind of landed on her neck area and rolled backwards out of...

    WAG tuck to layout

    How long does it usually take a gymnast with a nice RO BH BT to get to RO BH BL if they know how to do a Layout on trampoline? To me, it feels like once you know the shape of a layout it is easier to control than a tuck, but you need so much more power and really need to have a strong RO BH...

    Coaches Teaching the flyaway: layout, or tuck?

    Hi friends! I'm starting to teach one of my girls how to do a flyaway. She's the only one who can kip so far, so I feel she is ready. We are going through the beginning drills, such as candle flips, sighting something with the eyes and tapping to that spot, getting her toes to that visual marker...

    WAG Front Tuck Dismount on the side of the beam vs Gainor

    I need a dismount on beam for some of my girls who will soon be L7s. Most do the regular CW BT. Round-Offs not quiet there yet. I have two girls who just don't get it, they always fall on their cartwheel. We thought about maybe aerial of FH at the end of the beam. But there is one thing I...

    WAG Front Handspring Front Tuck Help

    I'm planning to compete Level 7 in the 2015 Optional season. I've been having trouble with my front handspring front tuck connection on floor. The problem is, after my front handspring, I bend my legs going into the front tuck. I don't get enough rebound after the front handspring, so my...

    WAG How tight should a back tuck be?

    Can back tucks (or tucks in general) be too tucked/tight? When I do a back tuck, I am really tucked tightly. But when I watch videos of meets, on instagram where people do RO BT or RO BH BT most of the time they don't tuck that tight. They grab their kness and their legs make a 90 degree...

    WAG Standing double back tuck beam dismount?

    I was thinking "what if?" about this earlier and I wanted to get some community advice to satisfy my curiosity. The idea is performing a standing double backward tucked somersault off the end of the beam as a dismount. Perhaps some of the knowledgeable people on here can enlighten me. My...

    WAG Back tuck vs BHS BHS on beam

    Why is a back tuck on beam harder than a BHS Series? I know many L9 girls and all of them say that the BHS Series is a lot harder than a back tuck! If you can tuck easily on floor and are exact on the landing it shouldn't be that hard! Am I wrong?

    WAG your experiences...from Back Tuck to Layout to Twist - was it hard for you/your DD?

    RO BH BT came quite easy to me. After mastering all 3 on their own it took some practice but then I got it quite quick. I was always super confused how I should ever be able to do a back layout! But I trained it on trampline first and I actually could throw one on tumbl trak just after 3 days...

    WAG back tuck vs whip back vs back layout

    I have my RO BH BT on spring floor and I can do it on the grass too. I have never tried a back layout or whip back. Is it a big step to go from a back tuck to a layout/whip back? For me, this seems impossible! I think I might get it on tumbl trak easily, but on spring floor/grass I can't...

    WAG Round off back handspring back tuck

    So I compete xcel gold and my first meet is coming up on the 10th-12th. I have 3 more practices until then. I have a really nice ro-bhs (good form, high re-bound). Do you think it's realistic to get a round off back handspring back tuck before my meet, and be able to compete it? I'm very...

    WAG Standing Back Tuck Fear

    So first of all I coach a group of xcel gymnasts. One of my girls is 11 years old, really strong, about 4ft. 11in. tall, and she is extremely afraid of standing back tucks. I try doing them into the pit off a block, but she won't through it because she thinks she will hit her head. She used to...
