    WAG Going around the world is side aerial?

    Sorry, I should be more specific. She does a half of a backward arm circle, stopping with her arms at her sides, where they remain for the aerial.

    WAG Going around the world is side aerial?

    She is more of a mesomorph, though it wouldn't hurt her to lose a few pounds, not that I have a problem with that. Anyway, her arms are correct; doing a backward arm circle and staying by her side throughout the aerial, although she does land with her chest quite far down.

    WAG Going around the world is side aerial?

    I've got a older kid who is relearning a side aerial, after being out of gym for years. Her body is perfect on the aerial, but her legs are going around the world (pointing inwards instead of up). I've put her in a corridor of porta-pits on their side, but she just hits it and either knocks it...

    Coaches Beam Choreography?!

    Okay so I'd like to ask all you artistic people to do me a favour; watch this video and let me know how this beam routine is. I've never choreographed a beam routine before, and as I was a MAG, I'd never had one myself. I know that her skills need work and it needs cleaning up, but just let me...

    Can't get her kip! Driving me crazy!

    So I have this girl, 10 years old and super tiny who is very talented and has great form, but CANNOT get her kip. She started learning them in May, and since the summer she has been very close, but no luck yet. I though she was going to get it this past Monday, then Wednesday, then today, but...

    Thanks bogwoppit. I did manage to get some help from that post. I am still very new to the country and don't know all their organizations and such. So many of the other coaches at my gym are very busy pushing kids for a chance at 2012, and my 4 girls were kind of pushed to the side due to them...

    Cut back her training time?

    I'm aware of the fact that she needs a certain amount of medical care, I am just wondering other coaches opinions on whether I should continue her training hours with her working on tramp, leaps and other things she can do without causin more damage to her wrist or if I should have her hours...

    Cut back her training time?

    She has gotten an x-Ray, but that is all. I have asked her about bars and she only said that it hurts when there is pressure pushed on it, not pulled. She hasn't been doing any realeases or anything too major. She mostly works on bars for about half an hour a day. She does wear wrist guards for...

    Cut back her training time?

    I have an elite girl who I have pushed very hard and she has worked very hard to get where she is now. Last year she broke her wrist training and it was casted and she healed fine. Now 13 months later she complains of serious pain in her wrist. She hasn't vaulted in almost 3 weeks. A few days...
