Hey everyone - Here is a short video clip about teaching the Giant/Long Swing on Parallel Bars... Hope you enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY7CFJGJfXY

I meant to look this up before I left work but forgot and am sure somewhere here knows the answer. I was thinking an extra swing in the level 6 bar routine was around a .3 deduction, but what about pausing to adjust grip or just stopping before the next skill? Is it the same or a lesser...

Hi, On my glide swing on the way in i do it just fine and dont drag my feet, but coming out of the glide about halfway back my feet start to drag, could this be because im too tall? thanks :-)

Well i have my first competition in 6wks and need a swing pullover. Well i think i could do it if i knew a bit more about technique like when to tap, at the moment i am tapping like a normal swing just harder, where to tap etc and any other technical details i should know. any other useful...

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 much of an arm backswing should my dd have on her standing BHS. Tutorials I see online show the gymnasts with very large backswings, but my dd doesn't go much beyond her hips. Will the bigger backswing just come with time or should she be doing the big backswing now? She doesn't land in...

When training a giant on p-bars, what are the important points to emphasize? Am I correct in assuming the tap is essentially the same as the tap for a high bar giant (ie hollow, arch, hollow)? Right now I have several of my boys training the flyaway in between the bars; what should I emphasize...

Well I ALMOST have my kip, but I think I might get it faster if I fixed up my glide first. I'm 5"6 and I'm all leg; I can't seem to get nice swing AND hold my legs in a tight straddle at the same time. Sometimes jumping from a springboard helps but my coaches don't like me using it; they...

When I was learning, we were required to be able to do a cast-HS before attempting a giant. Is this still a good idea? What are the usual progressions?

DS has a mediocre tap swing on High Bar....What is the best way coaches fix this? He does everything too early says coach...He ends up looking very wiggly and seems to have a hard time getting above horizontal....

how to do a perfect swing on high bar ????/what positions must you hold how do you generate a big good swing ????what conditioning is there to achieve a nice swing thanks xx:)

I've been working hard recently at getting my swing on rings to be higher and more powerful. However, now that it is much more powerful I have noticed a grinding sound/sensation in my shoulders at the top of my back swing. It doesn't really hurt, but it definitely does seem right. I'm just...

For next years routines my girls will need to be able to go from straddle sit on the beam and swing up with straight legs to pike stand (hands and feet on the beam). They are having a bit of trouble doing this. They can all swing up to a squat but can't do it with straight legs. I am at a bit...

Hi there. I have 2 questions-- ---Is it correct for a female gymnast to do an underarm swing on her tumbling...tucks, round-offs, etc. My daughter has a new coach and is telling her to make sure she does, while she knows she has been told by others NOT to underarm swing. ---In a layout is the...
