    WAG Flyaway layout value

    Our gym doesn't have a codebook. My coach and I were wondering if flyaway layout is an "A" or a "B". Or for those who know the Canadian code/requirements (our gym doesn't have these either), are you allowed to compete flyaway layout in P2? I already compete a tuck but the layout is much...

    Parents Flyaways

    DD came home to tell me that finally got to land her flyaways without a spot today in practice. She's been so frustrated because she's felt "ready" to do them by herself but her coach is very cautious and only steps away when she is very confident they are solid on them. DD said she got to...

    Coaches Landing Flyaways

    One of my gymnasts is having a really hard time landing (tucked) flyaways. She does them fine into pit: height and rotation are good, but over-rotates to her back. Same deal when I put a small mat in - she never opens up to land. She says she can see when she's supposed to open up and is not...

    WAG Overcoming Fear of Giants and Flyaways on the real bars.

    Well the title basically speaks for itself. DD is working on these skills and has become dead afraid and will not even attempt them on the real bars. She can do giants like mad on the single pit bar. She has done a few flyaways on the pit bar as well, but then hit her toes on the bar and...

    bars flyaway and letting go at 1

    Ok, so my dd has had her flyaway for 3 years now and at the last meet I think she almost put her coach into the hospital because of her flyaway. It has gotten worse and states are Friday. "She lets go at 1" is what her coach says. It is crazy and scary. She has no idea why she does it. She did...

    Flyaway Fulls

    I'm wondering if anyone can give me some tips for layout flyaway fulls. I have awesome layout flyaways but when I spin I get lost in the air and don't know where I am and lose my height. I'm also not staying straight after about 3/4 of the spin where I pike it around to land on my feet but also...

    Doing a giant on the high bar but no flyaway?

    Is there a way that my dd can incorporate a giant on the high bar but then somehow get in position to do the "pike-off" dismount? I am sure her coaches will figure it out. For gymnix she needs either an uprise (no way), a giant (she's a pro), or a flyaway (no way, she's terrified) as her...

    Coaches Best way to spot a flyaway?

    My sister and I are learning how to do flyaways. Our coach is spotting, but the catch is we have to spot them with her because she's not big enough to spot them by herself (so we will be double spotting). I'm a coach too so it's not like I'm new to spotting! My sister and I are the same size and...

    Toe on fly away drills/ vids??

    I have a child that came from a anoother gym who is deathly afraid of flyaways. As of right now she is doing for level 7 on high bar a giant into a hop 1.2 turn into a front flyaway. I know this in cures an extra swing deduction. I am hoping to teach her the front where she would swing down...

    Overcoming fear of giants and flyaways?

    I was speaking to dd's coach tonight and she was raving about dd's bars... up to the point of actually going over on giants and doing the flyaway. And this is after doing it once with a spot on the strap bar. So her coach was working with her on swings, and she said to dd, "when your form and...

    Layout Flyaway Drills

    A lot of our level six's are struggling with their layout fly-away dismounts on bars. We are not teaching them a tucked fly-away, but going straight to the layout. Does anybody have any good drills or technique suggestions for teaching a layout fly-away. We currently have them do a lot of...

    My DD was doing flyaways on the bars tonight and her feet hit the high bar. I was watching her just before the hit and it seemed on several occasions she almost hit the bar.. I asked her if the coach gave her any tips and she said NO.. only if I was ok. Any tips for her.. Thanks :)
