    Parents Spotting bars standing between judges and gymnast?

    Our bars coach always spots the girls from the same side (the girls' left side). Sometimes this means that the coach is standing between the gymnast and the judges, blocking their view. Is this okay?

    Women Spotting on bars with their head is incorrect, right?

    Can someone correct me if I am wrong but pulling them up out of a straddle circle thing and handstand by their head is really bad right? I know not knowing the terms is bad too but this shocked me. Not my daughter, not my gym, but a video on YouTube i just watched, FYI.

    Women Need a new gym and DD is afraid of bars. what to do?

    Hi everyone. DD is a level 6 and decided to leave gymnastics after falling on her head while doing a cast to flyaway. After a few weeks of her crying and regretting the decision to leave gymnastics, we are now in the process of finding a new gym. She doesn't want to go back to her old gym...

    Women Level 6 bars question (regarding casts)

    I had thought all cast-to-handstands were out of a kip. Talking with DD, she mentioned S is doing a kip to casthandstand. Then tells me about her casthandstand. I asked about the kip - nope, not yet. Just a cast up into a handstand. Obviously this is a progression, get the casthandstand, then...

    Women Installing wall bars that are not stall bars

    Not sure if that makes sense. Basically, I want to install a single rail along a padded wall so it can be used like stall bars for leg lifts, but I don't need or want the other rungs. I've seen this set up in several gyms (Airborne and Monmouth off the top of my head in case that helps anyone)...

    Women Bars with a boot

    So I'm in the boot for three weeks... I haven't been to the gym at all for 3 (?) weeks... I was taking a little break. I'm going two days a week for 2 or 3 hours each night. Any suggestions for bars with the boot? We also don't have a pit if that makes a difference.

    Women Help with pullover on bars

    Hi, my daughter is a youngster. She is having issues with the pullover on bars. She can do the actual pullover part (most of the time), but then she just stops and can't fully finish the skill by pulling up into a support. So basically her tummy rests on the bar and she can't 'sit up' and finish...

    Women Level 4 Bars help

    I haven't done the best on bars this season... and it is really pulling me down. Bars has always been my weakness. At my old gym we only focused on things like flyaways, giants, straddle ups and straddle backs, and cast handstands. We left because we skipped basics on everything and getting...

    Women Level 6 bars

    Can someone explain to me in layman's terms (not "A skill" "B skill, etc") what is the difference in requirements from Level 5 bars to level 6 bars? I've tried to find some routines on Youtube, and the only consistent thing I can see is that a cast coming out of a kip needs to cast into...

    Women Searching level 5 bars on Youtube...

    I've tried to find any videos of new Level 5's on the bars. Don't have to be new now, but a routine that was done at, say, their first meet (i.e. not the greatest scores...) I can find many many "first place"s and "9.5's". Can any of you youtube gurus point me in the direction of how best to...

    Women Conditioning Targeting Bars

    Which conditioning exercises that specifically help bars that I can do at home? I need extreme help with bars, and I think some of it is strength and not a very good understanding of the positions I need.
