Hi all,
A couple of our gymnasts have a competition in 2 weeks and are still really struggling with the piked sole circle (the one where they cast and pike on, circle around the bar until almost back to the top and then catch the high bar)
Any tips?
The gymnasts aren't allowed to bend their legs during the skill and it isn't supposed to go all the way round to stop on top of the bar. The girls are both struggling with getting their chests up and leaving their feet behind them to push away from the low bar.
One is much closer than the other. Also the one who isn't so close won't do them on the strap bar as she had a bad experience and refuses to do them on strap bar now!!
All help appreciated!
