    Women The name of a bars mount that probably has no name.

    Fun game, huh? LOL Okay, my kiddo is obsessed with the movie Stick It right now and she really likes the scene where they have the girls doing bar routines and tumbling in a really psychedelic way that looks like there are five or six of them on the bars at the same time. Anyway, she wants to...

    Women Pain on bars(not hands)

    I have a level 3 AAU gymnast that complains of pain in her abdominal area when doing her back hip circle/pullover. She had an appendectomy in November. Is the pain from this? She's only 8 so isn't very good at explaining these things yet! I have an older gymnast who mentioned pain every once in...

    Women Do bars that are unsquare and crooked affect routine

    My DD competedin a meet this past weekend and the bars were very crooked and unsquare. Does this affect her scores? She is the smallest on the team and they just cannot seem to get the setting so that it is not crooked. The setting for the big kids seem to be fine, they just cannot get them...

    Women Bars combination help?

    To stay in level 4* I need a bars combination -- pullover, cast, back hip, squat on, to tap swings on the high bar. The pullover & cast & tap swings I have no problem with. The back hip is a challenge for me, does anyone have any tips for it? And squat ons. I think it's more mental than...

    Women L6 bars deduction question

    What are the deductions for the following? Missing the squat on? Gymnast does the opening part of the routine and goes right into the squat-on from the prior skill, gets feet on bar but falls off. Putting an extra cast in before the squat-on (like they have in L5), but makes the squat-on...

    Women Anyone know about AAU 3 bars routine? squat on?

    I'm confused. My 8 yo DD is finishing up her season competing as AAU3. (next year the gym is swapping to all USAG.) At all of the competitions all of the teams have had girls on bar do a squat on before their dismount. There is one team that none of the girls are doing the squat on though...

    Women Bars Vent

    I went to a high school meet the other day and I need to vent about something I've seen more and more often in the past few years. These kids are doing everything they can to throw more advanced skills on bars that look HORRIBLE to increase their start value. Sadly, they seem to be rewarded for...

    Coaches How to build stall bars?

    ​How to build stall bars? - - Anyone have any advice? I am not a handy person but I think one of the parents at the gym could do it. We can't afford to shell out thousands of dollars for them but we need them!! Would it be safe to make our own, and what would we need dimension/height wise, what...

    Women Shorts over leo for bars?

    DD only wears her practice leo to practice, and recently she's been tearing up her upper thighs/hip joint. Would wearing shorts change the dynamic for doing mill circles and hip circles? I'm assuming that she's doing something wrong if she's needing a band-aid. She does have a meet this weekend...

    Women Level 6 Bars Dismount

    Ok, so the dismount for L6 bars is a tuck fly away...and gymnasts can do a layout fly away if they choose. No difference in scoring. So my daughter got her tuck fly away back in October. Perfect since her first meet was in Early December. BUT her coaches have made the decision that ALL of the...

    Women When to skip bars?

    I have about half of my team with very sore hands. We have a meet on Saturday. I'm wondering if we should skip practicing on bars one day this week? Which one? We practice Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

    Slippery Uneven Bars

    What is the best way to make a newer set of uneven bars more less slippery? Any good techniques for watering/chalking grips? We have a newer set of bars at the gym and they are very slippery! Chalk and water hasn't worked very effectively and I'm constantly peeling off. Does anyone have any...

    Women L9 bars

    Is a clear hip handstand needed? I have looked over requirements and I can't seem to figure it out. My DD has one in her routine but doesn't usually hit handstand so I am wondering if she would score better without it. She does- kip cast handstand pirouette, kip cast squat on jump to high...

    Women Level 6 bars question

    In dd's meet this weekend, the bars scores for our team were really low. Does anyone know what the points are for different things? I know dd's was low partially because of missing her kip squat-on. She got both feet on the bar but then fell off. When she returned to the bar, she did a...
