    WAG 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...

    Gymnasts Clear hip into a back hip circle

    Is doing a clear into a back hip circle on low bar allowed instead of doing glide down into a kip? For me, I am still working on doing the kip down after the clear hip, which leads me with a bunch of deductions (bent legs and touching the ground, and only making it up half of the time). I...

    Coaches Teaching double back hip circle

    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...
