split

I asked this question on the 'chasse' thread but it seems to have kind of got lost, so I thought I'd ask it in a separate thread. On a split leap my DD swings her front leg into the leap right out of the chasse and this is also the way I've been doing leaps. That is, chasse would be L-R-L...

I have a level 5 with a terrible leap on floor and I don't know how to fix it. Her leap is great on beam and is fine if she walks into it, but as soon as she runs into it, her front leg is bent and turned in and her back leg crosses over behind her to the opposite side (does that make sense?)...

I never taken gymnastics classes as a kid but put my dd ( now 4 year old) in it. She gained strength and flexibility. Now she keeps practicing at home. I never ask her to go anything. She is not allowed go do anything dangerous at home. She can do splits and maybe cartwheels at home. But that...

We were approached by a parent who is certified in yoga instruction and teaches children's yoga in a nearby town. She would like to offer classes through the gym, and I love the idea of adding this to our program. The biggest thing we need to work out is the profit split. I see this as an...

Hello! Longtime lurker just joining:) Which skill is easier to execute correctly a sissone, split jump, or leap(we tend to teeter totter leaps). We are required a jump or leap with a minimum 90 degree angle. This is for Xcel Silver.

How to make them not look like a see-saw? They don't get the idea of splitting hard in the middle. Need drills and new ways to explain it.

Okay here's the story, My split change wolf jump is in my beam routine and has a 0.2 bonus for doing the split change. I do not always connect it and i generally wobble during or after. Basically it is a built in deduction. I ask my coach to take it out for state and just do split leap - no...

My wife just received our end-of-year statement from the gym's booster club and she's a little upset. My daughter worked very hard on fundraising, being one of the top fundraisers each time there was an event. At our gym, everyone that reaches the minimum established for the fundraiser (i.e...

dd had been watching Dance moms and was intrigued by the girls doing a standing split (or vertical split), where the girls lift their leg to the side and hold it with their arm. well, she has been practicing it on the beam and does it fairly well. I have seen other girls do it in competition and...

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...

hey, does anyone here know what a split half and split full are worth on beam in the FIG code. thanks

Hi All, Haven't posted in a while, hope you are all well. I'm just wondering does anyone have some good tips or drills for getting the back leg / foot up in split leaps & split changes. Some of the girls are flexible and some have worked hard at theirs but none of them can get the back leg...

....splitting the beam that is! Bella was doing the L3 beam routine and did that handstand. Came down and whammo! I personally cringed and she just lay there looking a bit stunned for a couple of seconds. But as you all know, gymnasts are tough. She got up and tried that dang skill again...

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...

does it matter how much split the leap has in level 3? because our girls are little and we cant seem to get them to split very much and at meets most other gyms are just about or they are 180 split, but it doesnt seem to affect their score. if they do need to be 180 or a little below, are there...

my split leap is absolutely horrifying. my coach said its going to nailll me in my beam routine in December. What drills can i do at home to improve it?

:mad:my split leaps are not good )= they look like this -> http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_73914XX8aeo/SY… how can i make mine look really really good like this http://www.gymbox.net/MCaquatto4RTB09700… or this http://www.insidegymnastics.com/content/… or this...

I am a level 7 gymnast, and I would like to know what I could connect to a split leap to fullfill all requirements. (another leap) This is for beam, and I would like to try connecting a "C" to it to get the bonus. My coach has had us working on split leap sisson (sp?) but I don't like this leap...

My back leg turns out really bad in split leaps and in switch leaps. I don't know how to fix it! It is hard for me to turn my back knee under in a split, also. My coach has me do splits on the beam, but I still can't fix it when I am in the air. I can't snap my legs into the split, and my...

When I do my leaps, I get looks like I'm doing it all wrong. My coaches say I'm still doing it as if I'm going through the front door, and it's too much of a flowy motion that goes forward too much. I try to keep my chest up and body straight but it doesn't seem to be changing what my...
