    Parents How to support daugther after all on bars during competition

    My daughter recently fell on her bars routine during a competition. She got right back up and completed her routine, but I'm afraid the fall will mess with her head. What's the best way I can support her? This is the first time this has happened in a competion.

    WAG Xcel Gold Bars

    Hey! Coach here. I have two girls who have been competing Xcel Silver. One has been in this level for 3 years now, and we're all ready for her to move up. Problem is, she is terrified of jumping to the high bar. She will do a squat on and stand on the low bar, but won't jump. I know Golds can...

    Parents Question about Squat on for Bars

    Does it matter if you do a "squat on" vs a "pike on" at any level? DD is level 7 and a strong bar worker but still does a little squat on. Would that negatively impact her score at all? She seems more comfortable doing this and her coach has never said she has to do anything different. Just...

    WAG Level 9 bars / overshoot vs pak

    Hi my sister (age 10 level 9) has been told to compete her pak this season. She has trained a perfect pak but can also do a brilliant overshoot. She says overshoot is easier for her to do and she thinks she would get less deductions and an easier routine if she competes that. She has an in-house...

    WAG Just for fun: L10 bars

    With so much that is not awesome right now, I’d like to imagine for a moment that my kid gets a season, and that she’s a first year level 10. I will lay out a bar routine and would love to know if this is a minimal routine or “up to level.” She (dd) says that it’s the former, but also that it...

    Parents Questions about Bars

    So I have noticed that DD usually has her hands closer together on bars ( especially cast handstands and giants). She will often Shift her hands a bit closer together if they feel to her to be too far apart. Hers, I would say, are in line with her hips/shoulders so handstand/giants looks like a...

    Parents Fall on bars....rough practice

    So I only watch practice once a month or so for 30 or 40 min at the end so I usually catch bars. My DD is level 5 but they're doing a ton of uptraining level 6 and even 7 right now probably because of the uncertainty of meet season. So she gets to the high bar her coach spots her on a giant, she...

    WAG Peeling off bars

    I just started Xcel Gold and I’ve been using my ginnasta double buckles since... so about 2-3 months. I continuously peel off the bar when going back in my tap swing. It’s super scary and it happens everytime. My coach says it’s because I don’t regrip but I know I do. Also, my grips tend to bend...

    WAG Level 6 bars

    What circling elements fulfill the level 6 bar requirements. I have a strong bar worker that for some reason cannot get the shift for a clear hip. She is working giants but will likely not be ready to compete it this season. Is there another option for level 6?
