    Jumps on Beam

    So...jumps on beam. Wolf jumps, tuck jumps, split jumps, straddle jumps. It sounds sort of pathetic but on the high beam, I prepare to do a jump (especially tuck jumps) and I just end up doing a straight jump out of fear. Other times, I spread my feet apart a little (or tuck them a little, for...

    Jump to high bar?

    My dd has gone through a pretty big growth spurt (at least for a gymnast) and is almost about 5ft 1 in. She is level 8-9. They have moved the bars in closer as she will be competing a shootover this year. Here is the problem. When she jumps to the high bar, she ends up catching the bar and...

    Teaching twisting split jumps

    I coach pre-teamers twice a week, and I've just started twisting jumps with them on floor. All of their jumps are absolutely beautiful. (Arguably better than half the team girls.) The HC gave me the OK to start twisting with them. Straight jumps and tuck jumps went really well, but I'm having...

    jump rope - is it a good exercise?

    What I actually want to know is whether it's 'good' for your body / considered a safe exercise? I like it as part of my wo, but it seems like it might not be the best thing for my back and knees. I tried searching the net for potential harms it may cause (back & knees mostly) but didn't come...

    split/straddle jumps

    My dd is struggling with split/straddle jumps. She doesn't get up into a full split when she does a split jump on beam, and her straddle jumps need some improvement. Any suggestions? She was doing them on her tramp with leg weights, but it is getting colder and that isn't an option any...

    Coaches My Child Cannot Straddle Jump

    The title of the thread says it all. My child is 2 weeks from the end of her L5 season and she just struggles mightily with this jump. It appears to be so unnatural for her. She had one meet early in the season where it was like she had an epiphany and had this beautiful straddle jump, but every...

    Jump roping on beam?

    Does anyone know the point to this drill? DD has been doing these for the last few weeks. At first I thought there has to be a good reason for it because it just doesn't look too safe. DD had two bad falls on the same day. Her foot got caught on the rope and went face first onto the beam! Ooch...

    Got my jump to high bar!

    As you might know, I've usually had a terrible fear of jumping to the high bar and I've only done it a few times in my life. Well, today at the beginning of practice while we were warming up, the high bar was pretty low and it looked easy to jump, so I did it! And then when I was actually on...

    Straddle jumps on beam L10

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me the JO value(letter) for a straddle jump 1/2, 3/4 and full on the beam for L10. All of these would be starting facing the end of the beam. Thanks.

    drills to improve jumps & vault sprint

    Anyone have good (maybe even fun) drills to help my daughter improve her jumps (straight & split) and her sprint to vault. She isn't a great runner... her form on the handstand flatback looks great, but her run earns a lot of deductions. Thanks!

    Need Help! Jump to High Bar Again!

    I'm sorry, I've already asked this question but I still need help. I am scared to jump to the high bar. The bars are the perfect distance for me, they do not need to be moved in. I don't even know why I'm scared. I do not think about the negative things that could happen, I just get scared...
