roll

She started complaining just after State that her Ankle hurt all the time. Come to find out, back in March, while at a Cheer competition, she rolled her ankle pretty bad, and didnt really tell anyone. She just pushed through it. So, since she was hurting, we held off on Nationals this...

In the new level 5 they do an extension roll, up into a handstand, then finish down on their toes in a pike position. What part on their toes are they suppose to land on in the pike position? The very tips like when you are en pointe or the bottom of the toes like in relieve? It was a big...

Am I the only one with this problem? I can't seem to hit the handstand! My coach gives me some drills, but they don't seem to work:confused:. okay, so the problem is my coach said I don't have enough power in my arms when I roll. I know it sounds confusing. But anyways If you have any...

Literally ANYTHING at all would be so helpful .. I need conditioning, drills, anything that would help with a back extension roll! I do the push up ones, where you squat and put your hands by your ears and push up to handstand, I don't need the straight arm one until level 6 at my gym (we start...

Okay, I have seen gymnasts at different gyms practice the start of a back extension roll different ways...which of these ways are the correct way?: -start standing, squat, keeping arms straight up into handstand... -start standing, squat and quickly push off and extend legs into pike (sometimes...

My dd has this on her routine for in gym meet. Her meet is nov 10. She does amazing handstands when it's just handstands. But when it comes to handstand + roll down it looks like she is doing a very good dive roll. It's been going on for a month now. Every week it's worse and worse. Her...

Hi, I am an adult who has just joined a Gymnastics program. I have a strange problem with my left shoulder while doing forward rolls. My left shoulder collapses(internally rotates) when i initiate the roll. How do I correct this?

Yesterday I was on floor when I heard possibly the loudest, most painful sounding shriek I have ever heard at gym. When I looked over, I saw that a level 2/3 (probably around 8 years old) had fallen off beam and broken her arm. And she didn't just crack the bone. She broke both bones in her...

Hi Dunno, Saw your remarks in the coaches section. I have five year old on preteam in a group for 4-6 year olds, though in reality they are all 5-7 with the year almost over, and moveups soon. She will be six at the end of the summer. The group has been doing running, diving and doing...

I never thought I'd be posting on here about something seemingly so simple. I am working with a girl who needs this for a cheerleading competition in about two weeks. We've been working on it for well over a month and she still can't get it. 1. She's not holding the handstand 2. She's tucking...

Hi! I have three new 10-12 year old girls in my team. They haven't competed yet but they are getting ready. Gymnastics is just for fun for them and competing as well, so we are not talking about gymnasts who are going to have a long and excellent career. They are the oldest ones in the team and...

back extension, pike backward, whatever it is. I can't push. I end up landing my feet and my head is still on the floor. So I push up with my hands then. I have a recital the 28th and it's in the floor routine...so I need this QUICK! THANKS ^.^ check out my other threads

I invented the "Car Wash" this past week when we had our open gym. I saw a Theraband hanging over a beam and a light went off in my head! http://youtu.be/JbCBQ0wR9ME http://coachcasie.blogspot.com/2011/12/open-gym-not-just-for-kids.html

Okay, I am currently on exchange and am lucky enough to be training while i am over here :D Super excited. But on floor they were doing drills for round off flic by round off to landing on back on a crash mat. But instead of having arms by their ears they had there arms down by their sides...

Well we seem to have alot of newbies here with lots of really great questions. So I though maybe a little roll call of eveyone might be in order I'll start I have a DD 14 training for L8 in the fall. She has been doing this since mom and me classes at 18 mos ( yup along time) I had a son...

Ok well last night I got my round off flic sault and i have recently got my BWO on beam and now i can do all my level 5 skills with the exception of bars and backward roll to front support. If i compete level 5 i will not be competing bars as the stream i am in allows that flexibility. So the...

Glad daddy stayed home with big sister so youngest dd could go!! YouTube - Forward roll

What level is your child in (and is it USAG or AAU OR MAGA or what type:) I have 2 Level 4 gymnasts (9 and 10) and a 2 year old beginner:)

a few of my girls are having problems with opening up into the handstand. they almost always open up way too early and sometimes they open up late but it almost never happens that way. so are their any drills out there that help with the timing? and also is there any conditioning that they could...

hi! i coach level B girls here in finland. they are between ages 7 and 11 and our level B is comparable to USAG level 3. our level B floor routine is pretty easy to learn, but the girls have some problems with a handstand roll on floor. some of them bend their arms and pike their body too early...
