    Off Topic Home Gymnastics Strength / Drills / Things To Do (Instagram / TikTok / etc)

    Ok... here is a little game to get everyone going. Basically... the object is to make this thread as long as possible. Link to social media posts of things that gymnasts can do at home to be productive. The post must be a video post so everyone can see what to do. Just copy the link from...

    Coaches Front and Back Tuck Drills

    WAG Frequency of Drills

    Drills before skills, right? So how often should drills be practiced so that their benefits can take effect and be applied toward the skill? Also, after the skill is being executed, should drills for that skill cease or be completely eliminated? Thank you!

    WAG Clear hip drills?

    Hello all! My gymnasts are working clear hips, and the part they're struggling with is learning to swing them and ride their momentum. They're gripping onto the bar so tightly they can't shift their wrists! They don't need to hit handstand yet, and we do a few drills for these, but I'm hoping...

    Coaches How to introduce the concept and benefits of drills to gymnasts (and reluctant coaches)

    I've recently started coaching a group of team gymnasts with ages ranging from 6-16 years old. The other coaches barely use drills. They're more the type to say "Well of course her roundoff is still crooked but let's just let her try to connect a back handspring to it" or "Why do you need to...

    WAG Kip drills for strength

    My DD is trying to learn her kip. The coach mentioned that she needs to build her forearm strength to be able to hold on to the bar for an extended period of time. What exercises could she do at home to work on this? It would be preferable to do some exercises that we could do together so it...

    WAG Best side aerial drills?

    I keep getting calls to do private lessons with dancers who have a side aerial choreographed into their solos, yet can't do it yet. I always feel a ton of pressure with these privates. So, what are your favourite side aerial drills? I usually teach them to my gymnasts slowly, over time. However...

    WAG most effective drills for learning front handspring

    Have you as parents or coaches seen better/quicker results with front limber drills or front headspring drills? My DD's coach is doing front limbers with them and then progressing straight to the FHS. My DD has her limber pretty consistently but seems to be missing something in translation...

    WAG Tips, stretches, drills to straighten back leg on beam split jump

    Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone had drills or stretches etc to help straighten out my DDs back leg on her beam split jump. She's lvl 5 and seems to always have a bent back leg. The coaches tell her to just straighten it but she can't. She's a very strong, powerhouse gymnast, but not...

    Coaches Organizing Drills/Resources

    Does anyone have a great way to organize drills and notes they have? I have a few physical things (notebooks, binders, etc) and electronic things saved on my computer but I'm hoping to find a way to make it easier to find and review drills and tips.

    WAG Front handspring vault drills

    So some of my girls have really strong vaults going over the vault table confidently, but others are still on handspring flatbacks on mat stack as they cannot get their feet moving fast enough and they either stick their bottoms up and go up in a big pike shape or don't even get up They need to...

    Coaches Drills to get beginners to jump on beam

    So I've been helping teach a beginners class since April and week after week the girls jumps on beam haven't changed. I'm finally taking over the class and really want to help them improve. I know they are scared, but they are literally jumping one cm off the beam. I was just curious if they're...
