    Parents Purpose of backward roll to pushup?

    It will lead firstly into a backwards roll to handstand, but also into clear hip circles on bars. Clear hip circles are, in my opinion, one of the most important skills to be good at on bars, as they are used by level 6's and olympic gymnasts alike. A simple clear hip circle can turn into a...

    Women Repeating Level 5

    Thankyou so much, you have made me feel a lot better about repeating a level. This way, I can have a good level 5 year and then a good level 6 year as well.

    Men Wrist overuse injury

    Panda Paws (sometimes called tiger paws) can be good for wrists, although they often seem to be sold out. They are leather and go around your wrists for support.

    Women Repeating Level 5

    Hi, Yesterday my coach told me that I will be repeating level 5 again in 2026. I am a little bit upset because even though I know all of my skills aren't 100% perfect yet, I feel like by the time competitions come around, I would be able to pull together some fairly good routines. My coach is...

    Parents Rip advice

    Obviously I would suggest wearing grips . . . Put strapping tape over her hands for a temporary fix, this will make sure that she can continue doing bars that day. Otherwise, rip balm from RS Gymwear is great, it's called Giddy.

    Anon Level 5 woes

    It's great that she's doing well on bars! It does get VERY hard transitioning from level 4-5 and 5-6 bars, the difficulty of bars seems to increase faster on bars than on other apparatuses. If she isn't doing too well on the level 5 skills, then I wouldn't suggest going up to level 6. You...

    Parents How can I help my daughter overcome a rough meet?

    THIS IS SO NORMAL AND OK! Your daughter is an amazing gymnast. We all have bad days. I know it's just so devastating when the bad day happens to be the one day of the month/year when you want to be having the best day ever. She might just not want to talk about it and that's ok. Make sure that...

    Gymnasts Gift for Coach

    Hi, Since it is the end of the year, I am wanting to give my coach a small gift. I know this has been asked before, but if anyone has ideas, that would be helpful. I am going to write her a card because I want to tell her how amazing and helpful she is. I think I'm going to put this image on...

    Women gymnastics vs show choir

    Your team is counting on you. You are a gymnast. You have already paid. You have been doing gymnastics for a long time. This isn't a thing to ask us. Its a choice for you to make, but the answer seems obvious . . .
