hip circle

Quick background--I coach a group of preteam kids, mainly levels 1 and 2. Our gym policy is that kids cannot move up to the next level until they have all the skills for that level--no exceptions. Our level 1's practice 1.5 hours/week and our level 2s practice 3 hrs/week. The biggest skill...

I just started gymnastics and I have everything in level 3 exept a front hip circle and mill circle. I just can't seem to get around. Any ideas? :confused:

Well, tomorrow is Judge's Cup. The first meet of the season. DD doesn't have her front hip circle yet. She gets to about chest level on the bar, and then can't go any further. Anything I could tell her to help her? Thanks.

DD 4 is soooo close to getting her FHS. We have a bar at home and she practices and practices and practices until I have to make her stop. She just can't quite get it yet. She just doesn't seem to get around enough. She ends in a chin-up position with the bar about upper chest level and she...

Hi i have been having a hard time getting my back hip circles.I have to do a pullover, 3-5 casts and then the backhip circle but for some reason my casts are good until i get to the last one before the back hip circle, and then my elbows give out. Then when i try to get over i just can't, it's...

I know it's just a level one skill LOL. And she only did it twice the other day, and her body was not straight. But she was scared of that skill, and I was so proud when she started trying. And then yesterday she got around twice! We don't think the bars coach saw. She did it early in bars...

i started gymnastics awhile back and i finally have my kick up around bar (well almost) i can do it first time on bar then i need a break ...the i can go again ..........any suggestions as to get it consistently ? oh and what way does your head go ???? and i got my back hip circle one last week...

Hi, I am new here and looking for a little advice. My daughter is really struggling with the front hip circle. It seems to me that she does not get the momentum she needs to get all the way around and she is pulling away from the bar instead of down on the bar so her body ends up away from the...

Help!! I need some really good advice on front hip circles. I can do one however the whole time I am in a tucked position. I was reading another post about a Drill on how to improve front hip circles, but as much as I try I am still tucked going around the bar! I make sure to sqeeze my legs...

Please help me. I need front hip circle drills. Thanks

So I manged to do my first pullovers last night, though with quite a bit of help-I was awfully proud of myself. However, I was wondering, what is some good conditioning to do so I will be able to do these a little more gracefully sooner rather than later? Also, on my back hip circles, I noticed...

i used to be able to cast really high, but now i can't. some time in 2008, (summer?) i fell while doing a cast hanstand, but i don't think thats why. also, free hip circles. does anybody have any tips on how i can get higher after my free hip?

Ok I had a lapse in ability, I used to be able to correctly execute a front hip circle, by this i mean I came up with elbows only slightly bent and in a graceful rythm of sorts, Now my arms keep bending and my bodies awkwardly supported on my stomach when ever I come back up??? I havent done...

Hello all, as a former male gymnast I have not had much use for front hip circles. I did a few of them but they were never in any of my routines and when I did optionals I never needed them. Fast-forward to today. 90% of my classes are with (you guessed it) girls. Front hip circles are a...

:o I am new to the forum. I was looking for information to help my daughter when I stumbled upon this forum. I am not very literate about blogging or message boards or social websites but I will give it a try. I have a 7 yr. old in her first year of competition. Her first competition is at...

DD FINALLY got her front hip circle on bars last night! Woo hoo!!! It's not consistent yet but she can do it. Yea!!!!

Yes:) Madi:) I couldn't believe it. She was really close on Monday and this morning she had gymnastics today at the new gym. She got evaluated today too but after class but I will talk about that in a second here...So anyway right after gym and before she left to go to a birthday party she...

My daughter is a Level 4, and she is pretty much good on everything but the following: Her front hip circles look good, but the strength is not behind it to make it around. She is almost there, but not quite. Her back hip circle is awesome but not so much with the front. As far as the shoot...
