We've never bought wrist bands at a meet. We just bought generic ones off Amazon. I should add that she's 11 and 63lbs. Shes very, VERY skinny. Her grips fit fine. If you have her put a wrist band on, you can physically see the gap. They are loose!
Has anybody found a specific wrist band for under grips that works well for exceptionally tiny wrists? My daughter is a level 5 gymnast, but is TINY.....she's only 63lbs and any wrist bands I've found thus far just slide around on her wrists. She prefers longer ones for strap bar. Any...
I'd like to buy DD7 a chin-up bar.....bonus points if it has free shipping or is eligible for Amazon Prime. Any suggestions as to one over another? Anything that I should be looking for or making sure to not get?
DD is about 48" tall and 42lbs if it matters :)
Thanks!
Okay...so, once we've changed the pivot turn to a 1/2 turn is that not considered part of the dance passage in order to connect the leap to the jumps? Just want to make sure I understand correctly.
I wasn't on the floor for the meet (I'm really an ex-coach of 10+yr who subs once in awhile)...
We recently took our little ones to an Xcel Bronze meet. We ended up with a 9.0 start value on floor. Obviously, we misunderstood something in the requirements. Our routine was:
Forward roll to straddle stand
Headstand
Kneel-arch back
Stand
Leap
Pivot turn
Straight jump-Tuck jump...
My vote - yes, absolutely!!!! You can have it both ways :) I've always used their imaginations in that way....and taught them correct form, etc all at the same time. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.
I think this is why both kids AND parents like me, lol.
After a 5.5yr hiatus from coaching, I'm coming back to coach a young (4-5yr old) hot shots class. Progression from this class is a little uncertain, but they will likely move to a 2nd hot shots class (6-7yr olds) before moving to (current) level 4. I'm putting together a skill/incentive chart...
Just did a little update VIDEO of DD. I was beginning to feel like she wasn't making any progress (though I knew intellectually that she was), but boy, when you put the videos side by side you can really see the difference!!!
We're very proud of her and all the hard work she's put in over the...
I've run into this so many times! DD gets all kinds of crappy, rude, mean comments on her video(s). I didn't know I could set it to approval only for comments.
I'm going to go change my settings right now! Thanks for the heads up!
