    Coaches Padding on pit walls....?

    How do you all have the padding attached on pit walls? We currently have foam that was glued/velcro to the cement wall. It is not staying very well and I'd like to get it secured better. Was thinking drilling into the wall or something...? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

    WAG How many coaches go to meets?

    We event coach, so there are 4 of us that go. We have a 5th coach that helps on bars, and he comes to some of the meets. We have one weekend where our optionals are at one location and compulsories at another, so we go 2 and 2.

    I currently only coach vault..but have a child in gymnastics so I venture to the other events occasionally ;) what I notice that seems to be working for our girls, is doing freehips in the strap bar. Not sure if they are scared to open up too early on the regular bar, so they dont go as hard...
