I'm at a competitive YMCA and we do 8.

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?

How do I transition from a backbend kickover to a backwalkover when I get the kickover? Is it hard to change into a walkover?

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...

I got first place all around! I didn't know what to expect. But I need to apply corrections and work even harder!

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...

Thanks!

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.

How do they get so flexible in the air. I have my splits all the way down. But I can't do a scorpion or big split jumps or leaps or hold my leg up.

Where do I get foam? And what do you mean? Wouldn't it affect my back hip circle and anything else? How big of foam?
