    MAG kip cast for MAG gymnasts without injury

    Hi there, I'm new to coaching MAG gymnast kip, casts and didn't anticipate the problems with anatomical differences, and the pain that can cause during kip, casts. What do male gymnasts do to prevent injuring themselves? Thanks for your time,

    WAG Kip cast connection

    Hi everyone :D I have been working really hard on connecting a kip to a big cast - and I'm still struggling a little. I can hit horizontal on low bar now - which is fine, but I want to make it bigger. High bar I get a small cast and then have to do a second cast to hit a little over horizontal...

    WAG Straddle kip cast handstand mechanics

    I have questions about the cast handstand. DD seems to have no problem getting to handstand when coming from a glide kip cast on low bar or high bar, but she has trouble getting into a handstand when she is in a front support and bouncing her legs off a bungee, as needed for a pirouette drill...

    WAG Kip cast for the older/taller girl

    My DD is an 11 1/2 year old gymmie who is struggling getting a cast of any sort out of her kip. Is this something that could be related to her being older already or being height related? She's actually average height for her age at 4 ft 9, but 3 of those inches have come very recently. She...

    MAG Kip Cast Compositional Deduction?

    Hi, I just have a quick question regarding compositional errors on high bar. I am aware that a kip cast handstand needs to be preceded by either a half turn into back giant or grip change into front giant. So, I was wondering: Could you kip cast handstand and change your left hand to under...

    WAG question about kip cast handstand

    This stems from what I hope will be a minor bump in the road for DD that is nonetheless causing some frustration and stress. In her gym (and possibly everywhere for all I know), the girls are expected to start their L8 bars routines from the ground, rather than from the springboard. She's having...

    Kip Cast to Handstand

    I have recently been working really hard on my kip cast to handstand. My kip-casts to vertical are clean and I have no trouble with them, so I've been trying to cast to handstand. I'm not able to get my toes far enough up with good form! It drives me nuts. If anyone has any drills or...

    Glide/Long hang kip cast

    My kips have improved a LOT over the past couple of months, but the problem is, I'll do a nice straight arm kip, and then... nothing. I'm just on the bar. Or worse, my hips won't even be all the way on the bar and I'll kind plop down on the bar after the kip (not possible to cast out of that). I...

    I am looking for drills my DD can use to work on the kip cast, she has a great straight arm kip and a nice above vertical cast, but one just does not flow into the other. At gym they work routines, but do no drills on this skill, proably because everyone else has it beautifully. She has access...
