    Bar - Brush/Hit on Floor v. Fall

    I am taking the L 5/6 judges exam in a couple weeks and had a few quick questions based on things I've seen a couple girls on DD's team do. First, a number of them "hit" the floor after their clear hip. I'm thinking this would be a .3 deduction (brush, touch or hit on floor). Most of them...

    Jump to high bar?

    My dd has gone through a pretty big growth spurt (at least for a gymnast) and is almost about 5ft 1 in. She is level 8-9. They have moved the bars in closer as she will be competing a shootover this year. Here is the problem. When she jumps to the high bar, she ends up catching the bar and...

    Bar Problems

    Sorry if this is in the wrong category, I wasn't quite sure which one it'd go into. Lately I've been having some problems on bars. One day I can do my cast handstands every time, the next I fall over without even getting my legs together (I do straddles). Another day I make every clear hip...

    DD had her high bar kip for months. Now that her first L5 meet is this weekend it is MIA. I think it may be her timing is off, not sure. She is making it up and at the last second it looks like she is pushing away from the bar insread of pulling in & piking over it. She says she doesn't think...

    free/clear hips: do legs touch the bar

    I know hips can't touch and the body has to be free toward the end as you go over the bar, but can the thighs touch the bar as you circle under the bar? Watching videos of routines, I see it both ways and can't tell if it's technically correct and whether there are deductions for it. I tend to...

    Coaches Care of Uneven Bar Rails

    Does anyone have any tips on the care of the rails on uneven bars. Ours are quiet old and are very rough and hard on the kids hands. Nothing has been done with them in terms of care for many, many years. I've heard a light sanding and then rub them with linseed oil but I'd be interested to...

    Question about Flyaway on the bar

    My DD was doing flyaways on the bars tonight and her feet hit the high bar. I was watching her just before the hit and it seemed on several occasions she almost hit the bar.. I asked her if the coach gave her any tips and she said NO.. only if I was ok. Any tips for her.. Thanks :)

    chinese bar change...

    hey, i have a question about the proper name for the chinese bar change because when i google/youtube it nothing comes up. it's when you do a straddle off on the low bar and then you catch the high bar and do a kip or something.

    Blinds on Strap Bar?

    So, I was watching random YouTube videos and this came up: http://youtu.be/wYQA4aXtu7o Obviously only one hand is strapped in. It looks like she's still swinging on PVC pipe (but not a very wide one). Has anyone else ever seen this? I never have, and I wouldn't have thought the straps would...

    Strap Bar

    Hi, I was just wondering. When on the strap bar, the coach has the girls wear a band around the wrist. Does it sound like some sort of supportive band?
