mill circle

My daughter is 7 and on level 4 at her gym. She was on Level 3 last year. Last year at the meets, she was doing her front mill circle just fine. (with the exception of a few times she went around 2 times instead of just one time) However, I just watched her at the gym today and now she...

My daughter made the back of her leg raw today (age 5.5) working on her mill circle in open gym. When I saw it I made her stop. She was very PO at me for making her stop but then again I have to listen to the whining when she notices how it hurts on the way home in the car. She may be willing...

DD started working on her mill circle on Monday. It's one of those things I see and can't imagine she'll ever get it. The good news is she's only 3 years old so she'll have so many years to get it. Her gym doesn't compete until level 4 and she has a late December birthday so she'll have a long...

A couple weeks ago I posted that my dd "got" her mill circle finally...but I didnt get to see it. Well, apparently she lost it for a couple weeks, because I stayed to watch bars several days in a row and she wasn't able to do it. She even told me she didn't know how to do it anymore after the...

So, tonight I did not go to practice for the first time in months. Guess what DD did tonight????? Her MILL CIRCLE. By herself!!!! She said she did it 2 times!!! But...I didn't get to see it and I am wondering if she will still have it next week (she does not have gym again till...

Olivia finally has her mill circle! Luckily she has only competed twice without it! She has her third competition this weekend then one more before states. She was estatic when she finally did it! Her face was priceless! It took her longer to learn this skill than any other so far, so she really...

i just want to share some exciting news!! my dd is is 5 years old and is a beginner level 3 at her gym. they have been working on all kinds of level 3 skills. A few weeks ago she got her bridge kickover on floor and chin pulllover on the bars. Just this past week, she just got her mill...

Hi, my sister sent me a short clip of her daughter doing her mill circle in hopes that I might see what the difference in my dd's mill circle and my niece's. I have no idea the only thing I see is that is different is her hooked leg. Here is some video of my niece doing her mill circle. What is...

Hi - There is a girl on DD's L3 team that is really struggling w/ the mill circle. It seems that the main problem is that she just will not rotate her hands. When she comes around the bar the farthest they go is that her fingertips are on the top of the bar - this prevents her from making a...

DD is chipping away at the skills she needs to compete this season. She got her mill circle today at the gym (she actually got it at home and I was worried it wouldn't translate to the regular bar, but it did) and since she did it 3 times in a row, she got to ring the gong. It is a thing they...

I know you are all SICK of me whining about the dreaded mill circle and my dd's struggle to get this skill since October. Well, listen to me whine no more :D:D:D:D:D (about mill circles anyway:p). She nailed her mill circle all night at practice !!!!!!!!!!!!! :bars:

My daughter is working on both of these skills to try to move up to team and it seems like both of these skills people struggle to learn. Which one was easier for you to learn or for your dd to learn?

Hi - my dd L3 is really struggling w/ the front mill circle. She has been since October. She is sooooo close but yet so far. She makes it all the way around but as soon as she starts to come back up to a position on top of the bar she bends that front leg and drops back. Any suggestions ...
