    What is the correct body position to jump to hight bar?

    When my dd jumps to the high bar (l6) she is very arched and the first thing to pass under the high bar is probably her chest. should she be hollow when she jumps? How do we help her achieve the right position on the jump.

    Coaches How do you correctly jump to the high bar

    I think part of my dd problem is how she jumps to the high bar. She jumps very arched. Her chest is probably the first thing to pass under the high bar. Should she be hollow when she jumps? Anyt tips on how to help her?

    Coaches Release skills taught on low bar?

    Her bars coach kindly suggested that my daughter watch the Olympics next week with an eye towards choosing the release skills she'll want to learn for Level 10. While that's very exciting (and it seems to be an excellent way to motivate her), it may be that since the gym doesn't have a bar pit...
