dismount

OK, it was messy, but she got it! Even in warm-up she wasn't getting it, but during the actual competition she was able to. I was sooooo proud! I felt for her, though, because she fell off doing the heel snap turn, which has never happened to her before. But she was very nervous and shaky...

Ok so I understand the concept of the level 3 dismount, it's no problem. Do a handstand, fall down to your feet. Now we started working level 4 beam dismount, and it's a similar concept, but for some reason I can't get the idea of the half turn down. It just doesn't seem to make any sense to me...

Hi all, I am doing a coaching assignment at the moment and I need to describe the ideal model of a front sault dismount from beam. Since I am a terrible artist I am looking for a video of this skill so that I can take screen captures of each part to go along with my written description. I did...

This year I started coaching/assisting. I have one girl that refuses to roll off of the low bar. (That's about the best I can describe it, that's what we call it. Sorry if you don't know what I'm talking about.) She is too scared. What kind of drills can I do to get her to do it? Recently she...

My daughter is L9 15y gymnast. She's been doing double tuck of bars for 4 years without spot. Never fell. Last year she was introduced to the Chinese tap and this year she is told that her "regular" tap is dangerous and is relearning it cos her toes are not pointing high enough in the tap...

Are there any new drills or a different way I can teach the level 4 bar dismount. I am dealing with the girls piking around the bar and shooting their toes down to the ground for the under swing. I have them work on double back hip circles and back hip circle stop half way but once they go on...

I hate flyaways! I wont do them.. i could get them pretty easily if i wanted but i hate them! and i want something else that i can do in level 7 next year! any suggestions? Thanks

Hi I am new. I coach L3,4, and 5. There has been a dispute with the L5 beam dismount. I was informed the dismount was changed to the L6 dismount, then once we competed we were told that the dismount had never changed. Everyone seems to have a different answer, and many gyms are competing the L6...

My daughter is having a difficult time doing the fly-away. In fact, it kept her from advancing to level 8 last season. Her coach wants to try something new as she is just having a mental block letting go and flipping. She will swing her legs on the high bar in a straddle, let go, bounce on the...

Hi, Just wondering what the deduction is when a gymnasts does not turn on her level 4 dismount and just goes straight down from the handstand? Then gets back up and completes it. Thanks for your help.

My DD is struggling with her bar dismount. She says she can't turn fast enough. She starts to take her hand off the bar to turn and just can't complete the turn. Any advice on what she needs to do differently or what she can work on? Also does it matter which direction she turns?

So I usually coach the preteam kids but recently started working the young level 4 group. I think all of them are new level 4's. In the dismount for level 4 USAG bars do they have to squat on or just pike?

I have really been struggling with the dismount on beam i just can't seem to get it all put together. I have a really archy handstand because I have very bad shoulder flexability and can never seem to get my arms over my head. I was wondering if anyone had any drills or suggestions on how to...

Are toe on front tuck dismounts allowed in level 8? If so, do they receive full dismount value?

Hi Im a level 9 learning a Toe Front Uneven Bar Dismount. Are there any drills for learning this skill? Also, how do you not pull in on the bar? Thanks:)

So as of this week, I'm now coaching the level 3s at our gym -- coming in right at the end of competition season! Friday I did beam and bars with them and was very disappointed to see that not one of them can properly do their beam dismount (cartwheel to handstand hollow body down to floor)...

Hello! I was wondering what this dismount was, the caption says it is a triple full, but can you just do one, and what's the difficulty of it? YouTube - Nicole Meiller Level 10 Bars

I'm looking for some pointers/thoughts/drills that may help our girls with their undershoot dismounts. Is this [what I guess is common] problem of dropping their hips after the BHC point to a particular strength issue? Or is more body awareness? A few habitual offenders have long since...

I would love to know some drills to teach toe fronts? Thanks in advance.

Gah! Sorry for not being on here in a bit. I've been busy with home-schooling and all that jazz. So, I'm done with gymnastics again. I was going to stop in March. I broke my foot flipping a beam dismount. Just a simple cartwheel, back-tuck! Why couldn't it have been a triple-duple-front-pike...
