    Coaches Level 7 Bar

    If you don't mind I would like to add another question about level 7 bars into this discussion. I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I second guess myself. If a level 7 performs the following routine, is this enough elements and would they start from a 10? Kip, Cast, Free hip, Kip, Squat on...

    Coaches Kips kips kips!!

    I don't like to start the kip process until they have a have a technically correct front hip circle. A front hip circle is an important a drill for a kip. They will use the same process to sit up for a kip as they do a front hip circle. I would most definitely focus on that circle along side the...

    WAG Rhonda Faehn leaving Florida for USAG

    I wonder what this will do for the recruits who verbally committed to Florida. Do you think some will now be tempted to explore other options?

    WAG Grips - team now being required to all get same brand

    Empowered, I do agree with you. At some point it isn't worth the battle. I've had girls come from other gyms with other grip styles. When they needed new grips we did order them RKO and they switched easily but I think if I had a gymnast who was absolutely insistent on remaining with the brand...

    WAG Grips - team now being required to all get same brand

    I agree with you. As I stated in my post above, the OP should ask HC why the change. There has obviously been a drop in communication. I understand where you are coming from as far as a tutoring plan goes. That is the same for lesson plans I create for my students. Each gymnast we all work with...

    WAG Gym owner advice

    The first thing we did was attend Metzger's Small Business Boot Camp. The second thing we did was write a business plan. We already knew where we wanted to be location wise. Very affluent city with no other gymnastics program at the time (It was a no brainer!). There were a few retail locations...

    Coaches Rec class organisation

    We typically co-coach our classes. If the events we are doing that day are Vault, Bars, and Tramp, one coach will work on Bars with both groups, one will work on Vault with both groups and they will each coach a Trampoline rotation. We also coach the same event every week with the same class...
