    Women Wristband Sliding

    Hi! I use drybands as well, and this isn't an issue for me. My drybands usually don't slide. Could it be that yours is too big? Before I switched to dry bands, I would get the wrist rips so easily. Then I switched to dry bands. The first couple of times, I still got wrist rips because I didn't...

    Women Confused

    I have had a very similar experience lately. I am training Xcel Diamond for the upcoming season as well.

    Anon Owner searching bags for cell phones

    Women Same music different routine?

    I personally have not done this, but one of my teammates did, and at a meet, she was in the middle of her routine and started doing the previous year's routine with this year's as well and then forgot the rest of her routine. I would not recommend it.

    Gymnasts Best Vault Option For Xcel Diamond

    Can someone please help me? I am struggling to determine what the best vault option would be. I am an Xcel Diamond. Last year I competed a 1/2 on 1/2 off as an Xcel platinum. I am struggling to find a vault to do this year. Please give me ideas of what to do and what vaults to stay away from. Thanks

    Women Opinions on Cal Berkeley Coach Switch with Clemson

    I have such mixed feelings about it, but I hope CAL can keep it up. The head coaches really turned that program around, and I hope they can still continue to progress.
