    Wrist/Ankle pain?

    Hey all, I'm 5'4" and have really small wrists and ankles, so they are always weakening my skills and they always hurt at the end of practice. What's the best way to deal with this? (p.s. I've thought about tiger paws, but I haven't tried them. They seem like they would be hard to tumble in)

    Bad ankle dilemma!!

    We just found out about 2 weeks ago that I have a bruised ankle or theirs like water in it or something? We talked to the foot doctor and he kinda wanted me to quite and said he doesn't think it can get better. But then my coach who also talked to the doctor said it can get better?!:confused...

    Ankle weights?

    Our team coaches just bought the girls ankle weights to do their warm ups and some conditioning in. They run in them, do kicks, handstands, even backhandsprings. To me, they seem like a horrible idea. Some girls already have ankle issues and these girls are still growing. Putting more strain and...
