    Parents Chin up Bar

    Hi all, I finally broke down and let my almost 7 year old daughter have a chin up bar for her doorway. We put it high enough up so that she had to stand on her toes to grasp it. She is not allowed to swing on it or do any flips of any kind. She's been doing well and has been getting stronger...

    lvl 6 bar question

    Would you rather see a cast to handstand and go over/miss the free hip or be safe and cast just high enough. I know going over would be a fall but dd just got her cast handstand and spent some time yesterday trying to work it in. She was only making her free hip or not going over about half the...

    Dealing with Bar Setting Changes

    I have a meet on Sunday, but my coach still decided that this was a great time to move the bars closer together. I know I shouldn't be worried because I'm barely 5', but I'm still not used to the bars. Where the bars are I can hollow down and not hit my feet on the pad my coach puts on the...

    Giants on the Low Bar?

    I've seen some younger gymnasts do giants on the low bar with a spot because they don't need to bend their legs, but now I'm starting to see them in competition: YouTube - Taylor Allex Level 10 Bars - Peppermint Twist (right after her shoot half to the low bar)...

    Different methods of stabilizing mini bar?

    Well I am swapping the metal bar I have for a Norbert's wood mini bar I just got for a good price ... but the supports are smaller than the old bar and my kids are pretty big for their ages and I would like to stabilize it some more short of bolting it to the floor. (They will just be doing...

    Parents Junior Kip Bar is a HIT!!!!

    Santa brought Bella a jr. kip bar this morning and she loves it! She is trying to do a penny drop but can't figure out how to land just on her feet. So far she's done her pull over and mill circle and is attempting her front hip circle and a kip. She's not even close on the kip. :-) The...

    Roll off bar (rec dismount)

    This year I started coaching/assisting. I have one girl that refuses to roll off of the low bar. (That's about the best I can describe it, that's what we call it. Sorry if you don't know what I'm talking about.) She is too scared. What kind of drills can I do to get her to do it? Recently she...

    Kip bar? Worth it or not?

    A girl who recently quit gym is advertising her "junior kip bar" on the buliten board. She's asking $230 for it (including the mat and board for underneath). Of course, my daughter is DYING to get it. I'm thinking that my other daughter could also use it as a ballet bar and that we could...

    Level 4 bar question for judges

    My daughter has been struggling with her shoot through lately. She had it for the 1st meet, but then has missed it at the last 2 meets.

    Level 8 bar Requirements

    Is there some special requirment to have a free hip to 3/4 at level 8. The coach told my daughter if she did not do her free hip (which follows a piourette at handstand and I think a kip and a cast on the low bar) to at least 3/4 height, her routine would have a 9.5 start value. The JR. Op...
