Well loads of girls on her team are having the same issue. Handstands they are fine with, cartwheels, dismounts, turns, they are fine with that, but not leaps.

Thing is, the coach is quite impatient. She worked these 2 days on the low beams and now expects them to be huge on the high beam. She isnt real big on "becoming comfortable" with the skill, she just expects her (and everyone else) to do them automatically

Nope! An Amanar is a 2 1/2 twisting yurchenko. So it is a double twisted with an extra half twist. And no question is stupid :)

The kids arms are bent badly, sometimes even to 90*

I am one of those super involved gym moms on my daughters' gymnastics teams. Some of the l4s&5s are struggling with getting their front hips with straight arms. Any drills or tips i could share with the team?

One of my daughters is doing level 4 this year, but is having really bad leap fears. She will do them good on a low beam but once she goes on a high beam her leap has almost no air time. It is hard to explain but she basicall steps and slides that foot back and replaces it with the other one...

I have loads of bragging for each one of my fantastical little daughters right now! Here goes: Kaddie- Bars: Straight arm and leg kip and longhang kip, and a straight arm front hip! Vault: Handstand flatback with a block and two extra 8 inch mats! (Upgrade from the previous 1 mat with no block)...

The coach's girls normally score between 36-37.5ish. Problems are: Bars-Absolutely refuses to turn hand for piroutte. She wont even do it on the floor with spot, or from a dead hang on the bar. Beam- Is afraid to connect skills while there is a flight involved. This could probably be fixed with...

I am posting this for my coach friend who does not have a chalkbucket profile. He has a level 7 who did exceptionally well this season. At states she got: Vault: 9.65 Bars: 9.705 Beam: 9.4 and Floor: 9.6 with an all around of 38.355. She however cannot seem to grab a hold of any level 8 skills...

They now know how to fall. She is still scared. What now?

I talked to the coach and they are learning how to fall.

She is never fallen but has seen people fall. When i said not really little, i meant not really little as in not super little. She does NOT know how to fall aparently. So....how?

Yes May 2012. Just wanted to make sure there was no deadline :D

My little 6 year old will compete level 5 this fall season! Quick Q: She turns 7 in May so she can compete level 5 starting in September, right? Anyways this little squirt has conquered kips, dive rolls, front handsprings, two back handsprings after the roundoff and cartwheels on the beam and...

My newly level 7 gymmie wont do her cast handstands on the high bars. She was fine in level 5 but now the whole hanstand thing gives her the creeps. This is wierd because she loves them on the low bar and holds them. She doesnt even like giants on them anymore because, get this, when she reaches...

Thanks guys! ^^^^ gave me an idea that it might be to much pressure being put on it. I'll check with the doctor still though.

Couldn't find a more suitable forum for this. One of my DDs and a couple other girls at her gym have lower back issues. For my DD, she had it for her first competition year then she didnt have it for half her second year then it came back! It hurts when she does bridges, front limbers/walkovers...

Floor- handstand hold forward roll, roundoff rebound, backward roll to pike with straight arms, bridge kickover with straight legs, split leap, heel snap turn, straight jump+tuck jump. Beam- swing from v-sit to pushup shape, arabesque hold for 2 seconds without wobbling, 3/4 handstand (yes on...

How long would it take for it to be deducted off of? And how much? She holds them because she hits perfect balance. When she knows she can hold it, she doesnt want to come out.

My level 7 daughter (age 9) likes to hold cast handstands on bars anywhere from 2 seconds to 5. In a meet, if she holds them for 4 or 5 seconds will she get deducted?
