    Hitting feet on ground during bars?

    So I know that when a lot of gymnasts get to a certain height it is HARD to do certain skills without accidentally hitting your feet on the ground. But is there a certain point when gymnasts "give up" on even trying to avoid this? I see high school gymnasts in my area who do a shootover for...

    New bars skills to work on?

    When we are on bars, we do stations. On the main bars (the only set we have with a high and low bar), we work on routines and harder skills that we need a spot on (I work on my kip there with my coach). There are two other bars for skills, and two more for conditioning. On one of the other...

    At states this weekend, my daughter landed both vaults but on the second, better vault, her vault coach I think instinctively reached out and accidentally touched her as she was coming off the horse or upon landing.
