    Parents Peeling off the high bar

    My 9.5yr old level 5 peeled off (with one hand) the high bar in her competition yesterday on the tap swing right before her dismount. She was able to save and land a good fly away. Since then I have googled peeling off and read some scary things. I’d like to hear some experienced thoughts on...

    WAG Peeling off of bar when doing tap swings??

    So I’ve been working on my flyaway off of our bar (high bar) and my tap swings were perfect until today. I peeled off of the bar twice on my third swing. I have perfect form and i’ve been doing tap swings for a long time. I’m in rec so my gym doesn’t allow me to use dowel grips, we are only...

    WAG Peeling off bars

    I just started Xcel Gold and I’ve been using my ginnasta double buckles since... so about 2-3 months. I continuously peel off the bar when going back in my tap swing. It’s super scary and it happens everytime. My coach says it’s because I don’t regrip but I know I do. Also, my grips tend to bend...

    WAG Peeling during routines

    Hi guys, I’m a level 9 gymnast that can’t seem to connect a routine through because I constantly feel I am peeling off. My routine is kip squat on, pirouette-shoot over connection giant giant half, but when I try to connect my cast handstand giants directly from the kip I either can’t because I...

    Coaches My athletes keeps on PEELING

    I have an athlete, who for months had BEAUTIFUL tap swings. I'm not sure what's happened- poor kid peels every. darn. time. For obvious reasons, she's scared and honestly so am I. What are common reasons for peeling? We've tried less chalk, more chalk, grips, no grips. She's hollow in the...

    WAG Peeling on bars! Please help!!!!

    Today was very stressful because of one thing... Squat ons. Every time I do a squat on I do it correctly, but when I catch the high bar I always slip/peel off the bar. I will most likely be missing some meets because of it! Any advice?

    WAG Peeling off jumping to high bar?

    I have been coaching level 4 for a few years now and am having a problem with my new level 4's that I've never had. They have all their skills but almost all of the girls have peeled off jumping to high bar at least once. The bars are close enough, and they are jumping hollow but still peeling...

    WAG Feeling like I'm going to peel off the bar

    I had grips and I felt like I was going to peel when I would swing. After I actually peeled once and broke my arm I decided it was time for new grips (I could completely straighten my hand with the leather still bent like it would be around the bar) I held off long in the first place because my...

    WAG Peeling skin on hands

    Tonight when I went to pick up my dd from practice, she had some pretty ugly hands. Rips on both hands, but what was even stranger was that at least half of each palm was very red and painful. Before practice she had mentioned how her hands were peeling and it appears that the top layer of...

    WAG Peeled off the bar, sprained elbow!

    Well, got my first gymnastics injury yesterday! I was on the high bar with a pit on one side and mats on the other, I was facing the pit. I simply did a kip cast and swung forward and on the back swing my grips just slipped off the bar. There was no way I could hold on! So as I was falling I...

    Coaches Saving Peeling Gymnasts

    I've heard lots of talk about standing in during tap swings and/or putting a wedge mat in front of the low bar. I am all for saving my kids from getting hurt if they peel! My question is, what exactly do you do if you are standing between the bars and they peel? Try to catch them? Flip them over...

    WAG Peeling feet?

    Okay, my DD (7), her feet are peeling. Mainly the balls and the heels. (more the balls than anything) She has VERY sweaty feet and hands, and is constantly in the chalk trying to keep her hands and feet "dry". I pointed out her sweat issue and her peeling feet to the Dr. Wanted to make sure she...

    Peeling to face

    Lately I've been working on competing level 8, so I've been practicing cast handstand, clear hip handstand, giant, giant, flyaway on the high bar. I've been getting pretty good at it lately and was getting closer to getting rid of the spot. However, when my coach spots me, he moves me over to...

    Coaches Peeling in back of swing (reposting from thegymcoach)

    Girls Peeling off the Bar on a Tap Swing!!! Coaching Gymnastics in the New Millenium Excellent article. In my opinion, there should be a deduction if a coach is not present to spot throughout a routine (as in the boys high bar rules). If anything, this is more important for girls than for...

    How do you come down from a cast handstand without peeling off? (for giants)

    I have recently just gotten my cast handstand but every time i come down from it, I'm all archy and I usually peel off into the pit. Are there any tips or drills or advice for coming down in the correct position?

    Bars: Grips and Peeling

    I'm a L5 USAG gymnast, and I'm having a problem on my tap swings. When I do more than 2 or 3 tap swings in a row, my hands start to peel off in the back. I chalk up before every turn and the bars are good - no one else has my problem. I wear "junior" grips (no dowels). It's not a problem in my...

    Peeling off tap swings?

    My daughter just turned 8. Over the summer she got her first grips and things seemed fine. a couple of weeks ago she started slipping off the high bar in her tap swings. After 2 bad falls the coaches took her grips away. last night she did it again - thankfully over the pit. They said...
