    Women Bar Routine Question

    My daughter is competing level 7 this season. She has a very standard bar routine - kip, clear hip, squat on, giant-giant, fly away. When she comes out of her clear hip, she is at horizontal at best (she is not able to come close to a handstand). Just wondering what the deductions would be in...

    Coaches Bar skills

    I have a gymnast who is totally afraid of going over the bar. I have tried everything. She just won't do it. I strongly believe in not forcing her because I know it can turn her off from ALL gymnastics but I am running out of things to have her do on bars. She cannot progress any more without a...

    Women Peeled off the bar, sprained elbow!

    Well, got my first gymnastics injury yesterday! I was on the high bar with a pit on one side and mats on the other, I was facing the pit. I simply did a kip cast and swung forward and on the back swing my grips just slipped off the bar. There was no way I could hold on! So as I was falling I...

    Coaches Bar over a very limited pit

    Our gym is small. We have only one pit which is about 15 x25 There is entry for vaulting on the length of the pit, and the floor entry has the short width of the pit. We are trying to figure out if a trainer bar can be placed on the edge of the pit. I am guessing GMR double L trainer would...

    Women Level 4 bar deductions

    Can anybody help me find bar deductions for level 4? I'm having a hard time finding anything. DD has a pretty good kip, does straight arm most of the time, although her feet flex in the beginning of her glide and her legs can bend a little bit. Her squat on troubles me (of course I tell her it...

    DD had one more level 4 skill to get, the kip to the high bar, and tonight she got it! I'm so happy for her and she was excited. Of course I didn't see it as (if you caught my previous thread), I'm not allowed to watch! But I do look forward to seeing her new routines at meets with my camera...

    Women Bar skills for routine

    First of all I have never competed before. I am in xcel gold, but because I have never competed before, I have to compete one meet as a silver and score out (31 or higher which is like an average of solid 8's). My coach said I have to have two circling skills on the low bar. Every since I got...

    Women New Level 10 Bar Release Requirements?

    I heard that they changed the release move requirements to be 1 high bar and 1 transitional bar release. So the standard bail/Chinese sit up doesn't cut it. Has anyone heard about this?

    Women New Bouncy Bar This Season or Next?

    I heard that USAG is changing the uneven bars to ones with more "bounce". They are definitely harder to hit handstands. Anyway, I heard that change was THIS season. Someone else said it was next. Does anyone know for sure?

    Women Bar Release Moves

    I would appreciate a little background on UB release moves. Don't care how to do them or train for them (that's the coach's role), but I found myself going to You Tube when DD told me she figured out her shootover last practice. I know she's also been working on a straddle back. What I was...
