dismount

This may sound super silly but I am having troubles finding the right place to spot on a Straddle on Sole Circle dismount. We just haven't done them till this point. I have taught them in the past but I have some girls that are having troubles gaining the confidence to get their feet on. I...

woohooOoo!! lol!! The meet went well and Pixie did really well though I'm a bit perplexed. This is only her 2nd meet at this level. AA, performance wise, wasn't as strong but her scores blew her last meets scores outta the water! From parents who have more experience at this, is there often...

HI Im already thinking about level 9. Im a level 8 though. Just wondering what are the options for bars dismount level 9? I have a really high layout flyaway but i have trouble getting away from the bar. I always over rotate my layout flyaway and land on my back but i do come close to the...

I have several level 2s in my class who simply CANNOT keep their feet on the bar long enough to execute a sole-circle (straddle, not pike) and this is when their feet actually make it to the bar :) Their feet instantly drop off. I am using the drill where you lower the bar and have them jump...

I have three guys who are learning (or getting ready to learn) front and back tuck dismounts from p-bars. On a back tuck, is it better that they dismount in a direction that would have them twisting towards the bars if they twist or away from them? To put it in more concrete terms, should a...

What are the progressions for doing a roundoff back salto dismount on beam? I just recently got my roundoff on the low beam and changed my current routine to a cartwheel (from my knee) backtuck dismount-which I fall off on way less than what I had before in my routine, although I know I throw...

For the USAG JO level 6 routine the dismount on bars is a flyaway. Some coaches teach a tuck and some a pike flyaway. I wonder if there are separate benefits to teaching one or the other, can anyone comment? TIA :)

Our new gym is working the new skills and I am thinking for the 2 sec hold for the level 5 handstand, they were having the girls work on the level 6 beam dismount. Our old gym would never have a single level 5 work this skill until they were level 6s so I was shocked. I was really shocked that...

I have a girl who has a solid double back off bars, and we're thinking about starting her working on either a full-out or a double layout. I think I have somewhat of an idea how to go about teaching these, but I have no experience actually doing so, so I wanted to get the thoughts of some other...
