In our rec program and XCEL, our coaches teach students to do two back hip circles in a row. My understanding is that this combination teaches students to rotate their wrists and keep their body hollow. My thinking is that I would much rather teach a back hip circle ending with a strong cast...
Hi, I’m new to gymnastics (a few months in). I’m supposed to be competing bars tomorrow, and I’m really nervous. Today, I was trying to do back hip circle and I just kept stopping. I would just cast and not do it. I only did a few and I was on bars for two hours. Also, I can’t do a sole-circle...
I have been coaching my two level 2 classes for the entire year. For them to move up they must have a back hip circle by themselves. I currently have 3 girls out of 16 that can't do it without spot and I would really like to move them up. They would need to have their back hip circle by the end...
I tried this in the WAG forum but got no response so maybe I will here.
I have a gymnast who is training Xcel platinum. She has been working on an uprise back hip circle on strap bar and she has it really good and consistent. The problem is when we put it on regular bars she doesn't have the...
I have a gymnast who is training Xcel platinum. She has been working on an uprise back hip circle on strap bar and she has it really good and consistent. The problem is when we put it on regular bars she doesn't have the same power and mentioned it feels like, on the counter swing, she going to...
I have a girl who simply can't do a back hip circle. We've been trying since July! She just throws her had back and never gets back to the bar after her cast. I read some old threads on here about actually tying the girl to the bar so she can practice herself over and over again. How do you do...
Hello! I've been reading posts in this community for a while now and oftentimes find helpful coaching tips for my classes. Now I have my own question, and I really hope someone can help me, because it's one of those things that keep me up late at night (for instance right now, haha).
I'm...
Little gymmie got her back hip circle tonight! She also got her gym report card and is moving to rec level 3, skipping 2. Her coach said she needs a few other basic skills but in another session or two she thinks she'll be ready for pre team or team. She said dd has excellent form and keeps...
Got it on the second try! But since I use palm protectors and I don't have a very good grip on the bar I have to tuck my thumb under the bar and if I don't tuck my thumb then I don't have my back hip circle. Its a grip issue. But yeah I got it right in front of our coach!

I'm training level 4 (new level 3) and I CAN'T get my back hip circle!! I can do it with a spot, but not by myself. Every time i'm doing it by myself, I fall under the bar. My coach keeps telling me that I need to get more momentum from my cast, and that I need to keep my hips to the bar, and I...
I mean, now I can everything fine with the other events but....... my good ol' enemy, THE BAR..... dud dud dun..... yeah, i fail at bars..... it took me two years to get my pullover and the only that's blocking from level two is that good ol' bar. Well, not really, my back hip circle. I can...
So, for the summer, our gym combines the pre-team for 9 and under with the pre-team for 9 and up.
This is an awful idea because the younger class is WAY less advanced. Most of them can't even do a backbend...
But the one thing that all of those little girls have is a back hipcircle.
I...
Ok so, I have been having trouble with my back hip circle. Here's my problem, I can't get around the bar I cast off the bar and begin to go around but then I fall back down when my body is horizontal to the ground. I only have three practices till my first meet and I'm nervous that if I fall on...
I had my back hip circle and did it like, 2 times. Now, I still can't do it and really need help with it. What's something that could help me with doing them. I am very close and don't know what I am doing wrong. Anything helps!
Thanks!
