I have a question. On my front walkovers, my right hip tends to pops several times. It has gotten to a point where it hurts, and after practice i have to ice it because it hurts so much. My coach has told me not to do any front tumbling or front walkovers. Does anyone know what this could be or why it is doing it. I am very flexible in my legs. Could it be due to overworking it? Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
A teammate of mine used to have that problem. It is possible that it can be caused by your hip flexor. To help you can kneel on one knee and put the other bent in front of you, then push the side that your kneeling on forward while trying to keep your hips directly over your back knee. If you don't under stand I can try to explain it better.

Hope your hip feels better:)
 
My daughter has the same problem,hers does not hurt though.I was told it is the tendon that glides over the bone and it is very common in girls that are very flexible.
She avoids frontwalkovers.Front tumbling does not bother her.
