    Women Casting out of kip

    Looks like you could lean your shoulders over the bar more, drive your heels up and allow your hips to rise.

    Parents How many meets does your gymnastic do a year? What level are they?

    Level 7, goes to 7 regular meets. Then state and regionals. Several of the regular meets are very small though.

    Women Level 6/7 vaults

    It depends, I think going from level 3-5 to level 6/7 makes it easier to do front handspring vaults. But gymnasts who struggled with it or came from xcel might have an easier time with tsuks. But also consider the progression of front handsprings vs. tsuk/yurchenko. If your gymnast is going to...

    Gymnasts Wristband color preferences

    This is the most random question but I wanted to know what everyone’s wristband color preference was? I have had white, navy and black and not sure which I liked most. Any thoughts?

    Coaches Back handspring hand placement on balance beam

    Coaches Back handspring hand placement on balance beam

    Women Level 8 Floor

    Im training level 8 and know what I have to get on all the events but floor. Do you need 2 or 3 tumbling passes? How many A’s and B’s? Is a 1 1/2 and a switch leap pass enough for the main dance elements? Thank you!
