DD was just told by her coach that her goal sheet had to have a bar release move (I guess it becomes a priority from a training perspective if it's on the goal sheet). DD said that she needs a"transitional" release and it has to go from the high bar to the low bar (not vice versa) for level 9. Is that correct? I think 2 bar changes are required and one release move, but I never realized the release had to go from high to low. That may just be a gym requirement.
Does anyone have a suggestion on the best bar release for a gymnast with tight shoulders? DD said that a lot of the releases are challenging because they require open shoulders. She's a decent bar swinger (L8 routine with DB is set except for cleanup), but has fairly poor shoulder flexibility. Any suggestions for her to focus on? The gym generally trains shootovers, straddlebacks, or pak saltos for rising L9s, but I know the current 9s/10s are working other releases (don't know names) so I think she has a lot of options.
