    WAG COACHES- Boys or Girls....what is the best gift???

    Being completely honest here any kind of food or lollies is not preferable. If every kid gives us some chocolate we will end up obese.

    WAG Young kids & Splits

    Time is definitely key here. Always doing splits on a line and getting them to check is your back leg on the line? Is your front knee facing the roof? Is your back knee on the line?

    WAG Sports bras/crop tops/half tops

    Whatever you call them! I live in Australia and it's getting into summer.(90+ degrees Fahrenheit training in a tin shed) I am in desperate need of a new sports bra to wear to gymnastics training. My issue is I am quite large chested and all the sports bras I have are to low cut leaving me...

    Parents Question on judges notes...

    I think the 'squat' they are meaning in between flips. In her second flip her hands are coming underneath her feet. Where she need to sit back and lift her hips. I tell my gymnasts to "sit in there chair" before lifting hips and lengthening the flip.

    Going on toes in backbend stand ups + FRONT WALKOVERS

    Sounds like you need to practise breaking the skill down as you are not quite ready for the skill together. Focusing on a leading toe rather then knee. Practise having your feet raised in a bridge and kicking over from there.

    Coaches Different types of chalk

    Is there two types of chalk? One being a more soft, crumbling chalk and one a more firm block. We have had gymnasts complaining that the chalk is 'soft' and it is harder to grip the bar. We buy all the chalk from the same supplier and often will be a hard and soft block in the same bulk purchase.

    WAG Spotting Bars- please correct me if I'm wrong

    In ALP level 3 gymnasts jump from a box to catch and 3 tap swings. It is mandatory for coach to stand between bars during a routine.

    Coaches Thumb position - uneven bars

    I have always switched naturally. when doing things like cast clear hip. The thumbs will naturally change from grasping around the bar to on top. But I was always told thumbs on top. And constantly am getting told to put them on top. So have gotten used to doing everything on top besides giants...
