    Parents Update on DD's Level 5 bars

    I posted a few weeks ago asking for advice on DD's problem with not being able to jump to the high bar. I emailed the coach and she's been working with DD almost every practice. Mind you, she has been working on Level 5 skills/routines for over a year, and it wasn't until I finally said...

    So a miracle has happened Amber finally got her dismount all by herself. It just cli cked today at practice. Now she has the ability to do the entire bar routine herself. Hopefully this will bring her from 6.3 to 8 or even 9.

    Level 5 bars advice

    My daughter is 7 yrs old, 46.5 inches tall and having ALOT of trouble with her squat-on to the high bar. Her kips look good, and once she gets to the high bar, she is fine. The problem is getting there. More often than not, she falls off and the coach just picks her up. It's very frustrating...

    Level 7 Bars

    Can you do a regular clear hip without the handstand and giants in the same routine or because you have giants in the routine do you have to hit the vertical handstand? I have tried reading the book but it makes very little sense to me.

    Coaches Bars settings for the TALL gymnast?

    Is there a standard formula for determining an appropriate bar height in relation to a gymnasts height? My dd is 5'6" level 7. The bars have become a stumbling block. She is expected to conform to the shorter gymnasts settings on bars however on vault, the table is adjusted. This has not...

    Bars skill - Hop Turn?

    I came across this skill as a bonus in a particular Competition Code my rec kids use, and I have to admit that I have no idea what it is. It is a bonus on bars, and it says "Grip Change (hop turn)". Can anyone explain to me: - What exactly this skill is? - How one would teach it? - And how you...
