    Women Laser beam - feedback please?

    I’m thinking of buying a laser beam for my 8yo gymnast and am wondering if others think it’s “worth it”. We already have a pretty nice floor beam at home so I’m not sure if it’s significantly better. My daughter thinks it will be worth it (of course) but she’s never actually used one.

    Women Feet separated in swings

    My daughter’s thighs and knees meet when she does tap swings but her feet don’t naturally meet. I see some girls with this problem tilt their feet towards each other so one foot overlaps the other. My daughter says that’s uncomfortable. Her coach told me that he doesn’t encourage this habit and...

    Women Glide swing - full extension?

    My daughter’s bar routine starts with two glide swings (the gymnast regrips between glides). I’m confused about how a glide shows “full extension”. My daughter is short enough that she could fully extend with a straight body but her coach makes her hold her body in a dish shape (pic attached)...

    Women Vault - layout to flat back?

    Thanks for your reply! I’ve been looking online for a video of layout to flat back but can’t find anything. Does anyone have a video of this?

    Women Vault - layout to flat back?

    My daughter’s competing a handspring to flat back this year. I’ve noticed that the coach is also training them on a layout to flat back. Can anyone tell me the reason for this? The girls are not allowed to tuck their heads in the layout flat back and it can be scary to watch! Thanks 😊

    Women 7yo can’t stop their back hip circle

    I just wanted to thank you both for your advice! My daughter practised staying tight, straight arms, leaning forward and shifting wrists a bit slower and she came first on bars at her most recent competition! She can now whiz round the bar and stop in front support :)

    Women 7yo can’t stop their back hip circle

    She would love to but that skill is one level up from the level she’s competing this year. We are in New Zealand.

    Women 7yo can’t stop their back hip circle

    My 7yo used to be able to do a back hip circle just fine, but over the last month she has started overdoing it. She accidentally goes around twice and can’t stop after just one rotation. Her coach thinks that her cast has become more powerful and that she just needs to lean back less and push...
