Does anyone have a tool or idea of how to clean the velcro that sticks to carpet bonded foam? Sometimes hair and lint will stick to the velcro and it makes it difficult for the mat to actually stay-put on the floor.
Thanks!
Agreed. Value parts include handstand/bridge, RO, split jumps, turns, back roll..and so on. I am sure a tough judge could take the max and get close to .7.
Have major injuries from overuse that will keep them out of doing gymnastics for 3-6 months. For example, fractures in their back. I am pretty much interested at level 8-10 kids. And if you could please notate approximate age of these kids.
Thanks!
I am composing an imovie with our gymnasts. Can you please help me out with some newer songs that the girls may enjoy that would be inspirational.
Thanks!
Thanks for all of your suggestions! I like the idea of reminding them what I am looking for before they do the skill, and through in contests here and there!
I think I will ask Doc Ali too.
I coach 8-9 year old compulsory gymnasts. They can make corrections when I tell them, but the next practice, I feel like I have to correct the same things over and over. This will go on for some time. Then when they get to a meet, most of the corrections go out the window.
I looked into Doc...
So when my DD sits on the floor in a pike, the back of her knees won't touch the ground. I would estimate that the back of her knees are 3/4 inch off the ground. I am not sure if it is a flexibility issue, or just the way she is constructed.
She can sit in a pike and nearly flatten her...
