Can someone share some drills or links with drills to remove the pike out of vaults? I'm so frustrated. I'm not a vault coach, but have 3 teams that i now have to train all events. They are so inconsistent! I have girls that go from 9.7 to 8.2 the very next meet. They have lots of power...
I thought xcel silver bar routines had to have 5 elements? I keep seeing silver bar routines of YouTube eith
Glide swing
Pullover
Back hip circle
Dismount
That's only 4. How is their start value 10?
1. Does it matter the order you do the tumbling passes? On my bronze, they do the connected pass at the end of the routine.
2. On bars, I saw some silver doing squat on, jump off for dismount. Is this acceptable?
3. My gymnastics do roundoff backward roll to a pose on floor. Is this...
I have a very determined child that just cannot get off of the floor. She's competing excel bronze. All of the other girls are doing leap to split or straddle jump. I have her doing leap bc it is required and leg swing hop. She is unable to get off one floor for both. Same with vault. We...

I am having trouble finding information online.

I've been told there is a place where you can upload a gymnast's routine and have an online judge tell you their deductions. However, I've looked and see no such thing. My gym owners refuse to do mock meets and won't send us to seminars. It's frustrating when you're coaching to the best of your...
I have a few gymnasts that have trouble bending backwards in back walkovers because of hip flexibility and same thing with the back leg in leaps. What muscle needs stretching? I've looked up hip flexor stretches and its not the correct muscle.
Thanks
Are there any drills or suggestions to keep kids from slamming down into their bridge sloppily. They can do good handstands, but after that point it's so sloppy.:mad:
Has anyone tried any of their grips? I just ordered their velcro grips. www.aaagrips.com This is my first time ordering grips. :confused: The velcro is supposed to be of better quality. They also have a new ratchet style fastner. I also ordered a pair of reisport grips b/c her coach suggested...
I was just thinking,:scratchchin: if you guys who need help with certain skills, I would maybe take a short video with a digital camera or camcorder and post it here, maybe some of the professionals can see what you're doing wrong. I just thought about that. I think I'll video my daughter's weak...
