    Coaches Question about cast-handstand on bars

    Hi, I'm in college and just started coaching at a small gym close to school. We have 6 team members in level 5 and 6. I'm trying to get them to a handstand on bars, but I'm not strong enough to lift them if they have a weak cast. Some of them are close but some of them can only cast to...

    Australian Judge on bars.....

    I just recently noticed, while reviewing the EXECUTION scores at the 2007 World Championships Bars Event finals, and found something very interesting. The Australian judge gave Nastia an 8.80, while all the other judges gave her, 9.1, 9.10 9.50 and 9.30. My curiosity got the best of me so I...

    Coaches Will preschool bar make it harder to use regular bars?

    After much begging from A and her dad saying she could have one, I caved and found a little bar for A on Craigslist. It is a really nice bar, but I am worried because the bar is smaller in diameter than a regular bar (1" versus 1.5") and it is metal. She is almost 6 and training level 4. She...

    Level 9 Bars

    Does anyone know if there is a compositional deduction at level 9 for not having front giants? Our girls(region 2) scored on average 9.1 (at westerns)with beautiful routines. The girls that had front giants seemed to score 2 or 3 tenths higher for equally executed routines. Thanks!
