    WAG Jump to high bar

    When kids start jumping to the high bar, is the bar placement based on the kid's height or do they just try to get them all jumping from one or two settings regardless of height? My dd is super small and it's the first skill I've been nervous about. I have seen how much work goes into changing...

    WAG Having Trouble Holding Onto Bar

    Recently I had a hand/ finger injury on my right (dominate) hand. However, I was only out at most 2 weeks. I’ve been back for a week now and i’m having trouble holding on to the bar without getting the feeling that i’m going to peel. I have grips that fit and we’re fine before i got hurt. Kips...

    WAG Another Level 6 Bar Dismount Question

    Last night DD and I were talking on the way home from the gym and she mentioned an old teammate wasn't doing a fly away dismount (level 6) on bars but something else that "met" the dismount requirements. Is this possible? I quickly looked it up on-line and the requirements are "salto"...

    Parents Silver Bar Routine

    My daughter is competing her first year xcel silver at age 9. She “got” her kip this summer and has competed 2 times with it. The first time scoring a 9.3 and the second only a 8.7. She has a meet tomorrow and is questioning her kip. Would it be better to do it even though her arms aren’t...

    WAG Question about bar settings?

    Hopefully this is a quick question.....in the lower levels, do girls usually have different settings specific to them personally? Or is the goal to get all the girls on the same setting? Specifically Xcel Gold, if that matters.... Thank you!

    WAG Does anyone have a list of A and B bar skills?

    Having a discussion about level 6 and 7 bars and wondering if anyone has a list? Specifically, wondering if a tucked, piked, and layout flyaway are all A dismounts?

    WAG Level 3 bar height

    My daughter can barely stop herself with the tips of her toes after her glide swing and then has to do a dead hang pullover. At meets will they adjust the height of the bar?

    WAG Tallest on the team - Bar Settings?

    DD just hit 5 feet and is the tallest on her team (L7) by at least 4 inches. She’s been struggling on bars (can’t seem to get straight legs on glide before kip) and keeps saying it’s because the bar setting is too low but is afraid to ask coach abt it. Might she be right or is it something in...

    Coaches Arching over or under the low bar?

    We have to use FIG setting for bars on all the levels so the bars are relatively close to each other, especially for the older and taller girls. Most of my gymnasts are old and tall so this is something that they struggle with. Learning giants on a single rail is pretty easy, but when they have...

    WAG Level 9 Bar connection bonus question

    Hey! I have another USAG level 9 question about connection bonus (this time for bars) If one of my gymnasts competed a free hip handstand into a double back dismount, does she get the connection bonus, or not because the second skill is her dismount?

    Parents USAIGC Regional Bar Champ x2!

    I can’t make this stuff up...the kid who took 18 months from first kip to consistent ugly kip just won bars at Regionals for both Bronze AND Silver! There were 28 kids in each of her groups, and in her Bronze session she got 8th AA. At 4:30am before her 8am Silver (specialist) session, she was...

    Parents How can you tell if they will be a good bar worker?

    Just thought I would get some opinions here. My daughter had her second year at level 4 and still struggled on bars her highest score was 8.30... big improvement from last year but still not great. Consistently her coaches tell me that bars are going to be her thing. I just don’t get it?! Is...

    Parents Puma Jr is USAIGC NY State Bar Champ (again!)

    So proud of this kid...what an awesome weekend! She got her highest AA ever, good enough for third place of 20 AND her 9.6 first place Bronze bars was a personal best. She also scored her highest on Silver bars, 9.35, which was only beat by a 9.4. I thought for second she had State bar champ x2...

    WAG Double Layout Off Uneven Bars vs. High Bar

    NOTE: This conversation was split out of the following thread... https://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/threads/jo-code-changes-2018-2022.62666/ ------------------------------ For boys it's much easier compared to girls... bar height and lack of a low bar are major.

    WAG Level 4 bar question

    WAG Is a single bar release required for level 10?

    I know some things recently changed (well in September) with the requirements and I was just wondering. DD has a Tkatchev in her routine - and a shootover to HS. But other girls don't have a single bar release... Just wondering.

    WAG shape while jumping from low to high bar.

    We are having a debate on the shape of the body once the gymnast jumps from the low to the high bar. Assuming the body isn't crazy arched when the gymnast makes contact with the high bar, and the routine is fluid and form good... Can there be a deduction if you jump and are not hollow, or is...
