    WAG Level 9 2 pass floor routine help

    I have been struggling to find level 9 passes that will work for me I have strong back twisting but for whatever reason can’t punch out of it so I’ve never been able to do half punch front and haven’t even attempted to try a 1 and a half punch front. Due to a coaching problem I didn’t work much...

    WAG Tsuk problems

    I have done tsuk for about 3years now and always had a bit of fear with them when flipping on hard surface(comp setting) but usually after I flip my first one I’m good. This year is my first year flipping pikes and they are great onto above floor height mats on a pit vault but I’m super...

    Gymnasts Competing after graduation

    I made the choice this year to stay another year after graduation and it was the best choice for me. I do feel old at times but honestly I have accomplished so much that I wouldn’t have gotten the chance too.

    WAG pls help

    It’s hard to tell you what the issue is with you giant without a video. However it probably has something to do with you arch kick and/or the timing of it. Have you tried videoing yourself doing them and watching it back slowly? You can also pull a video of someone else doing a giant and watch...

    WAG Fear of falling on beam

    I’m the same way although there’s no super easy fix here’s some things that help me. I always try and visualize my routines before I go.

    WAG Washing beam shoes

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of stink on beam shoes. I don’t want to completely soak them in water because I’m worried it may ruin their snap and possibly shrink them.(curious if anyone has tried this) I have tried using a tooth brush and a bit of water with laundry detergent to...

    WAG Connecting bar routine tips

    It really depends what it looks like. It’s hard to know what she may be doing wrong. Some of the things that first come to mind are making sure that from her Kip cast she is dropping the bar to the correct position that her Kip and cast have nice straight arms and that her Kip cast is powerful...

    Gymnasts Upbeat floor music

    hey so I’m looking for a floor music that’s upbeat and sassy. I love showing off my floor routine and making it super dances. I was trying to look for some of the newer floor musics but I find most of them to either feel too immature or they are salsa or super serious. I am 17 so I want...

    Anon How do I help my daughter focus on HER gymnastics, and not worry about what her teammates are or aren't doing?

    Well being an athlete who experienced this first hand I did end up passing the girl eventually it was a lot of work but I did it. When I struggled with this my mom said instead of being mad about her cheating complement her. Which I always thought was a weird idea. But if you get you daughter to...

    WAG Front tuck

    I struggled with front tucks forever until one day it finally clicked. The two things that helped me were my coach told me to think about front tucking over a fence and the other thing was focusing on trying not to push my front tuck too far forward. We had to draw a box with chalk that I had...

    WAG Level 9 Acro series connection with side Ariel

    Hey I’m a level 8 gymnast tryna go 9 next season but am struggling to find an acro series. I did backwalk backhand as my series this year, and was gonna do backhand back layout for 9. The whole reason I didn’t put backhand backhand in my 8 beam routine is because I place my hands really weird...

    WAG Breaking in grips

    I am a level 8 gymnast and I know a lot of the tips and tricks to break in new grips but I just broke my grips tonight and have one practice until I leave for competition. I got my new grips tonight and was able to break my grips in enough to do a low bar( it was kinda ugly but I managed)...

    WAG USAG DP Level 8 routine questions

    I’m from Canada so we have a different code of points but they are usually quite similar or the exact same.For beam she would I believe need another B and you would most likely want it to be dance not acro otherwise she would get a 0.1 deduction for composition whether that be a switch split...

    WAG Turning Shoes

    I use shoes for beam and vault because I have extremely sweaty feet but not floor(mine have rubber bottoms) but my shoes last me around 4-6 months and then they either get a whole in them or the rubber bottom rips out. I use the brand decathlon for my shoes and they seem to have a great...

    WAG Competition bra with support needed

    What I recommend doing is depending on the suit find a bra that she likes and is comfortable that will hide easily and if the straps are showing buy clear straps and cut of the old ones and put new ones on. I bought a bra from lulu and had someone sew on clear straps and it works great and is...

    WAG Giant Troubles

    I also struggled with giants. It appears as if she isn't arch kicking at the right time causing there not to be enough power to make it all the way over. I would recommend doing beat swings in between each turn just to really feel the arch tap in the right position. Another thing that might help...

    Anon Level gaps and coaching

    Yes I can totally understand that we need to add younger ones to keep the competitive program it just sucks that I am no longer getting the attention I need. Hopefully the new and fresh shiny girls phase will wear off.

    Anon Level gaps and coaching

    Unfortunately I live in a smaller town so we only have one gym. I’m hoping that these new ones will learn with time that it’s not all about them and hoping my coach will realize that I am not improving as much because she is no longer really coaching me.

    Anon Level gaps and coaching

    So I have been in competitive for almost 6years and have had a great coach who is always super helpful. However these last few years things have gotten a bit rough and just this month they have gotten even worse. To give you some background information I started with a group of 8 girls all...
