    Level 6 Bars Deduction

    One of the L6 girls I coach likes to do a beautiful 1st half on the uneven bars, at least through her squat on. On her squat on, she frequently falls backwards, catching the bar as she falls. She glides out once her hands catch the bar, and then does a kip, cast, squat-on and completes the...

    Parents Bars Progress (brag alert)

    We may have hit a turning point!! Both girls are doing better on bars and even my oldest is being more positive (although she still refuses to admit that she likes the new coach (aka The Miracle Worker)!! Kelsey has been improving not only her giants, but most importantly her attitude! The...

    Winston on Un-Even Bars

    I was looking through the WAG JO code, and came across this skill. I have a level 10 girl who is very strong on bars, and thought she might want to take a stab at this skill. It is a "D" value. I don't recall seeing this skill performed, and am not real familiar with it. Any help would...

    Level 4 Bars - Neutral Deduction

    Are there any neutral deductions that can be taken for a level 4 bar routine? My daughter recently scored much lower than she had previously, with what looks like the same routine. There was a digital photographer at the meet, and looking back through the stills, I can't find the deductions...

    Parents Adjusting Bars for little ones . . .

    I think I'm going to talk to the gym tonight about adjusting one of the set of bars closer so DD can pratice on the high bar. She can do her squat on, jump to High bar, kip and dismount but hasn't been able to practice it in a month because both set of bars are set to far apart for her (she's...

    Level 4 bars question-help!

    My older dd had her 2nd to last practice before states tonight. She came home upset because one of the coaches told her she was leaving a cast out of her routine. She did the routine without the cast at her last meet and got a 8.45, but also had a couple form breaks. Is there supposed to be an...

    Level 8 Bars - Extra Elements

    My dd starts her Level 8 bars with - Glide Kip; Cast to Handstand 180 turn; however, she came up short on cast to handstand and proceded into a series of clear hip to handstands (actually she did 3 of them) before she was able to complete her 180 turn. My question is what kind of deduction for...

    Coaches L4 Bars - Undershoot Dismount

    I'm looking for some pointers/thoughts/drills that may help our girls with their undershoot dismounts. Is this [what I guess is common] problem of dropping their hips after the BHC point to a particular strength issue? Or is more body awareness? A few habitual offenders have long since...

    Bars at USAG Level 7

    So this weekend DD finally did all the skills needed for a decent bar routine. For her that means a lot. The routine needs form clean up work but all elements were there. Or so we thought. Judges docked her .5 from start value for missing a SR cast above 45 degrees. What?? I read the updated...
