    Women Level 5, 6 7 bar dismount

    So after looking at the level 5 bar routine and reading the requirements for level 6 and 7, what dismount would most L6s do? L5 does a flyaway, L6 requires only a min of an A dismount so from my understanding would be you would not have to do the flyaway and then L7 says the dismount with a...

    Coaches Coaches, how do you know when a child is ready to try giants on the strap bar?

    My daughter is 12, just started at a new gym and she was working out with the level 7's for the last three months. She has a weakness on bars, she never uptrained giants on strap bar before at her former gym. Everyone on her team has giants, even the level 5 and 6 kids have them on the strap bar...

    Men High bar grips for super small kiddo

    I am in need of some grips for my kiddo....the coach said we might need to have them made because he has super duper tiny hands. He's moving his giants off strap bar to the regular bar and thus needs the grips unless we can't find any that will fit. When I say tiny hands I am not...

    Women Bringing toes to the bar? (Glide kips)

    For a while now, I've been having trouble bring my toes to the bar on my kips! I always end up bringing my shins to the bar, or just end up stopping. I have a decent glide though. I know this can be due to the lack of strength, but I also think this is becoming a habit. Please help! Tips and...

    Women Graduating from the strap bar

    I'm curious...what are the markers that coaches are usually looking for to "graduate" so to speak, from the strap bar to the "real bar". DD is currently been working clear hip to handstand into giants on strap bar. I believe her coach progresses from strap bar to pit bar to real bars. I'm...

    Women Any Deductions on wearing grips in Level 4 Uneven Bar meets?

    These are the questions for judges: In a sanctioned meet, can a Level 4 gymnast wear grips to compete her uneven bar routine? Will that cause some deductions on her score? The Level 4 girls in our gym all wear grips to practice their bars. Yesterday, when they competed in a sanctioned meet, I...

    Women Mats sliding when landing bar dismounts

    I have noticed recently at a few meets that the mats sometimes slide out under girls when they dismount bars (Level 7- Level 10). Why isn't it required for the host gym to provide a non-skid liner between mats? It seems a little unsafe and it can be unsettling to watch. I feel like the...

    Women Bump/warts at nail beds on bar grip fingers?

    Anyone else have this problem? Dd has developed bumps on her fingers between her last knuckles the nail on her two fingers that go into the grip holes. They don't look like traditional warts but I can't imagine what else they could be. They don't really look like callouses either. They don't...

    Women New Bar setting requirement?

    My DD came home from gym telling me that beginning in January that all the gyms were going to be changing the bar settings due to new rules. She uses a larger bar setting than what the requirement is going to be and is freaking out about not being able to do her giants on the smaller setting...

    Women Video of Kadee's bar routine

    I wanted to post this, to show how hard my baby fought for that high bar kip/long hang kip. The routine is not "clean". She has a pretty funky FHC in it and some form issues. But she fought so so hard for that kip. Although she didn't get credit for it. She doesn't realize that. When I asked her...

    Coaches Deductions on this Bar Routine??

    I am competing my first Level 9 meet this weekend, and I am wondering what deductions I will get on this bar routine. Bars is my best event, so I really need to perfect it, by fixing even the smalllest deductions. Also, I am studying how to judge, since I am considering becoming a judge, and I...

    Parents And we have a bar routine!

    Dd does not have her giants yet so I have been wondering what her level 7 bar routine might look like, especially when I know her gym prefers they do giants. She came home excited that she now has a routine. Don't ask me the specifics, but it does not include a giant. She spouted it off to me...
