    Bars - Blind Change/Turns/Front Giants

    My DD competed last season as a 11 yr old Level 8, her bar routine had the basic 2 backward giants into dismount which seemed very strong. During the off season we were expecting to see a progression into maybe a blind change into front giant, or maybe a 1/2 pirouette on HB, etc. However, she...

    Chalking up new bars

    Hi there! I was a gymnast for 7 years, and now coach little ones in Oklahoma. I just started coaching at a gym and their bar set is new and unchalked. What is an effective way to start a good chalk base for the girls to work with??

    or coaches. Purpose of "F/G" skills and bonus question on bars.

    So Ill admit I didn't read the code cover to cover.. but I did do my best to understand bonus/connection. Im a little confused.. there is little incentive to attempt F or G level skills... so... why value them as such? Or am I missing an obvious no brainer here? I know in highschool...

    level 4 USAG bars

    Hi. Judges, I need to ask you a question. In level 4 USAG bars, how much of a deduction is it if you jump slightly on your pullover, and drop you butt in the back hip circle dismount? Please answer and thank you!:)

    level 4 bars dismount

    So I usually coach the preteam kids but recently started working the young level 4 group. I think all of them are new level 4's. In the dismount for level 4 USAG bars do they have to squat on or just pike?

    Bars: Grips and Peeling

    I'm a L5 USAG gymnast, and I'm having a problem on my tap swings. When I do more than 2 or 3 tap swings in a row, my hands start to peel off in the back. I chalk up before every turn and the bars are good - no one else has my problem. I wear "junior" grips (no dowels). It's not a problem in my...

    Bars - split to handstand

    What's the difference between doing a split to handstand or just going into a handstand? I've noticed that most, if not all, other girls do a split to a handstand while dd just goes straight up to a handstand with legs together. I asked her what the difference is and she said that it's just the...

    Level 5 Bars Question

    Hi my daughter is a level 5 gymnast. She is really good on bars, but her connection from the kip to the front hip circle isn't the fastest. According to her coaches her bars are great and she'll score 9's plus. She has a great cast on low and high bars in the routine and really good tap...

    Optional Bars Element Groups

    I have seen references to Groups 3, 6 and 7 for one of the two required L7 circling skills. I couldn't find these skills listed as groups in the COP. Can someone point me to a document (or the pages in the COP) where these groups are identified? Thanks in advance
