    Back Tuck on Trampoline (before handspring)

    Hi all, My daughters class has started doing back tuck and forward tuck drills on the trampoline (with a belt). Its the highlight of the day and they just love it! However, they haven't yet learned a back handspring yet. Will learning the back tuck first on trampoline make it harder or...

    My DD is 5 and working on pullovers and backhip circles. She's working on her forward hipcircle too (i think that's what it is called) where she can go fully around the bar and support herself again. Ironically she has this but not the pullover & backhip circle which she says hurt her...

    How important is TOPs

    I've been doing more research again on gyms and keep seeing TOPs. Our gym doesn't have any TOPs recipients. Is this a red flag?

    a lot of little questions -- transitioning to a developmental team

    Hi all, I am relatively new to the sport and started my twins in gymnastics around the age of 3. Its been a great program and a ton of fun. Every day my girls ask, if it is a gym day and I have seen tremendous development in the last year. They will turn 4 in a few weeks, and the coach...
