acro

My daughter is a rising senior and will be competing L10 for the first time this year. She has been visiting D3 gymnastics schools and a D1 Acro & Tumbling school. Based on communications with coaches, we are hoping that she will get to choose one or the other. If she does get offers at both, it...

Hey all! Working my way through routine planning for my first competition season and looking for ideas on the SR 1 (two directly-connected acros - either both non-flight or with one flight). Here are ones I have so far: HS roll -> fwd roll Round-off (or cartwheel) to back roll (plain or to...

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...

With all of the talk about college gymnastics lately... we thought it would be a great time to share some more options for gymnasts moving into college! Here is our latest article from our writer Jen Kula... https://chalkbucket.com/all-about-acro-tumbling-and-college-club-gymnastics/

Are there any acro and tumbling colleges in Canada?

Hi, I am mum to Lottie, she is 9 and has been in a squad for Acro since July last year, she has just competed in the inter regionals in Southampton this weekend for Grade 2, Scoring 25.300 and coming 9th with her partner Really proud of her, its was a new routine and they have only been working...

I'm working press handstands on blocks, and I'm really trying to get it. Since I've been out of the gym it's gotten harder to master. I have a panel mat and small blocks, as well as large ones. Any tips or drills? Thank you!

I think the title says it all. More details, my DD's acro series is CW-RO. This past meet, she had a big balanced check after CW, then another big balance check after RO. So my guess is, the deduction for these two balance checks was around 0.5 total, but then another deduction was added for...

I have twin girls, both competing Level 6 and both struggling to overcome back tumbling mental blocks. They competed Platinum last season without back tumbling in their floor routines. They are doing the same series in their Level 6 routines, but with added back element at the end of the series...

hey! i’m a level seven gymnast and right now i’m out with a back injury. i was wondering what skill i could compete in beam. i cant do front walkovers or back walkovers because of my back... but what exactly are my other options. i have a back handspring that i could compete! thanks!

I know the expectation is that next year will be earlier because it's an olympic year. Anyone have a more firm set of information other than the Draft calendar from 7/11 on USAG's T&T website? I ask because depending on how early it is it may interfere with 8th grade graduation for my...

My 8 year old dd has been dancing for 2 years. Never really liked dance, except acro- which she excelled at. After years of begging we took the plunge, against her Drs advice and signed her up for gymnastics. She is just so passionate about it. Every video, everywhere we go, it's all she does...

Hi. Can anyone recommend good sites to buy acro/rhythmic Leotards with skirts?? Thanks!!

Hi all, joining this web site after taking 6+ granddaughter to Wakefield for Acro - she has been signed up by her Mum and we’re all supporting the 6 to 8 pm Wed and Friday attendance. Trying to get a feel for a typical year for 6+ , the shows/comps/events etc And undestand the vocabulary...

in Des Moines, Iowa!! On the plus side, they have an airport and are somewhat centrally located. It will also be in season for corn. That’s about all I’ve got..

Do we have enough Acro families to make a private group board? I'll gladly volunteer to moderate.

My daughter (almost 6) has developed a fascination with Acro. Can anyone direct me to a good website to get more info? Thanks!

I just noticed something exciting yesterday and of course now I have some questions. The college I graduated from has recently added an Acro and Tumbling team...which was news to me until I saw it browsing on their website last night. They are Div 2. Was wondering, is it common for artistic...

I am a little confused about all the requirements and judge preferences for level 9 beam. Is there a single acro requirement? If so, what skills qualify for that? Is that a compositional requirement or just preferred by the judges?

DD is wanting to make L8 this year, and looks like beam will be the deciding factor. According to her, her bhs on beam are so ugly, she will take more than a point in deduction on them. I don't watch, so can't confirm. Her coach has told her to come up with something else, that will count and be...
