    Parents Between Tape and Grips (WOD & Done)

    My DDs coach gave her Won(sp?) and Done tape the other day and it worked a lot better than her other tape has been. She said she wasn’t going to try and find something that would be between tape and grips. Is there such a thing?

    WAG Ankle brace vs. Tape

    This seems to be such a controversial topic-pros and cons to both. Which do you or your dd prefer? Personally, I like tape but its expensive and takes quite a bit of time to put on. It makes me feel more secure though. Braces are great because they are quick to put on and can be adjusted, but...

    WAG Tape & rips

    Strange question, what type of tape is best to use on rips? DDs been using KT tape over the top of normal plasters when she rips, which really helps and let's her continue training. But she's going through KT tape like there's no tomorrow and it's hurting my bank account :( Are there any other...

    Coaches How should I measure vault starting points with distance tape?

    I recently purchased a Velcro tape measure from Norbert's for my vault runway and plan on assigning the girls set markings to avoid start distance confusion. This way, the girls can really refine their approach and thus create more reliable vaults, and I'll have a much easier time playing around...

    WAG KT tape

    I am not asking for medical advice...DD has seen a pt and has an ortho appt. in less than a week. I just want to know if the KT tape that is sold in retail stores is really as good as they market it. Has anyone used or had a DD/DS who has used it and found relief? Thank you!

    WAG Tape Grips

    I have ripped my hands quite a few times now on bars and considering making some grips from tape as I currently have to stop bars as soon as I rip. However, I have no idea what type of tape to use. I would really appreciate suggestions. Thanks :)

    WAG Pre-Wrap and Tape Questions -- HELP!

    After practice today, the head coach noticed DD's hands were pretty much ripped to pieces from bars. She has several calluses/rips on each hand as well as one on her wrist. Asst. coach told me the rip on her wrist was from swinging bars with a lot of power (DD has TONS of natural strength and...

    MAG Kinesio Tape

    I am thinking about trying this on D's shoulder. His PT used it a lot when we were still going. Do any experienced coaches have any input? Suggestions?

    Coaches Floor tape

    What does your floor look like? Do you use floor tape to make "lanes" or no? Do you use tape to have a diagonal line for cross tumbling? At my gym we have all of the above. I see the pros and cons to each. Curious to see what others think... A coach before me did our lane lines with duct tape...

    WAG Rock Tape? Plantar fasciitis

    My 9 year old DD has occasional flare ups with plantar fasciitis. I had ordered the x brace; but the order never seemed to go through and I gave up (I e-mailed asking for help and never got a response - even after a few e-mails). It is never so bad that she has to take time off of practice...
