    How do I transition from a backbend kickover to a backwalkover when I get the kickover? Is it hard to change into a walkover?

    Backbend kickover

    I need a backbend kickover ASAP. I was supposed to have it before we started competing a year ago. But I had every other skill so I put it off. My back isn't very flexible but I can do a backbend now. My shoulders aren't flexible and that's the problem. I can do a kickover off of the lowest...

    How long will it take to get a back walkover?

    I need it by August for the next level. I don't have a backbend kickover because my back and shoulders are stiff. Is it possible to gain back and shoulder flexibility and get a backbend kickover by then? That is the one skill that will move me forward. I am prepared to work hard enough to get it...

    NAIGC QUESTIONS

    How to go from YMCA to NAIGC?

    I went to the website and it said something about being in a club that competes NAIGC. Can I go to a college that competes it and do it or is it more difficult. Someone explain it all.

    Back and Shoulder Flexibility

    Back and shoulder flexibility are the reasons I don't have about 10 skills. Bridges are harder to hold up than it is for other girls because my shoulders are stiff. This summer I want to gain a lot of flexibility for next competition season.

    What is a good score in your opinion?

    I think anything in the 9s is good. I've only had one competition. And I placed 1st all around. 1st on beam and bars. 3rd on vault and second on floor. I didn't think I did my best but I didn't make any major mistakes. I know exactly what to fix but what is a good score in your opinion and a...

    First Meet Nerves

    Any tips? I'm 14 and will be 15 in July so obviously I'm old for level one which is the old level 2 in Amerikids. I've never done this before so I'm nervous. I just don't want to mess up. And I want to win! But of course I won't be upset if I don't medal. I started again late so I'm getting into...

    Bars bruise my hips so bad

    I know it's probably normal but sometimes when I let the bar hit my stomach area more it eases the pain instead of hitting the bones of my hips. They are always blue and purple and sting.

    Straight legs in cartwheels and split jumps?

    I can't feel the bend in my legs. I can't feel when it's locked and when it's not so I have a bent ugly back leg. Any help on the split jump? And in cartwheels I can't feel that my legs are bent. Usually I can feel it.

    Beam squat mount help?

    My knees are not touching like it's a weird crouching position where my knees are pointed out. Any tips? And when I swing my legs back to the mount, it hurts my tailbone and I can't balance well.

    (Rainbow) shoot through dismount on bars

    Sometimes I just go straight down. Last practice I started getting a pretty good rainbow which was motivating because before then I couldn't do it. I'm 5ft tall and one of the tallest in level 1. I'm 14 also which means I'm old. Any tips?

    AK 1 Beam Help ASAP

    On the mount when you swing from a straddle sit to the squat position I tend to lose my balance. Sitting on the beam hurts my tail bone and I can't balance well. I haven't been on beam in probably a month or more so I lost my mount. I used to have it. But now I'm not swinging high enough to make...

    My best friend at the gym wants to quit

    She wants to quit after competition season. What can I do? I've quit before at another gym and regretted it. She will regret it. She's mad at the coaches because they give her constructive criticism and she doesn't take criticism well. She says she won't take our coaches crap anymore and...

    Warm ups too tight?

    How tight are they supposed to be? I got them in today and I'm afraid they're too tight. They fit really snug. I wear an adult medium Leo and I got child's medium warmups because they ran really big. Like the jacket fit my coach. But the pants are a little too tight around the hips. What should...
