For Parents Bought Grips … Now What?

[GymnasticsVAMom]

Ordered grips today for my daughter with the coach.
They should be here Saturday.
So now what?
I see videos where people bend them and water them or scrub them?
Apparently I guess you don’t put them on and get going lol!
So when she gets then Saturday what should we do?
Thanks in advance!!!

Gymnastics Grips Buying Tips From A Coach

Gymnastics grips are made out of leather and worn on the hands of gymnasts to help them hang on to the event that they are performing on.

Overall... the coach should help her figure out the grips.

Her coach will walk her through it.

I like to get the kids to start wearing them just fur a few skills and increase the amount as we go. A lot hate them at first because it feels weird and different but once they get used to them most can’t imagine not using them!

I suggest you don’t do anything to them, don’t try to break them in, the coach will guide her.
