    Women Level 7 Bars

    I thought Level 7 bars were pretty standard, but I have seen lots of funky stuff this season and I'm just curious about deductions and start values. Some of the routines were clearly missing elements (I've seen a few do kip, cast (not to HS), clear hip (again, not HS), flyaway...I'm sure that is...

    Parents L3 Bars Routine - How is it scored?

    I tried doing a search on here, but didn't see too much about L3. Is there a good source for what the judges look for during the routine? We were very confused about the judging at a meet this weekend and wondering what I'm missing (probably a lot :p). Thanks!

    Women Coach/judge question re: L6 bars

    I have a question about the cast handstand for a Level 6. Which would score better - a new, less-than-stellar straddle handstand that makes it about 20 degrees above horizontal, or a very pretty, very tight & straight cast that only makes it about 10 degrees above horizontal? For a coach -...

    Women Level 6 bars question

    What are the cast requirements for level 6 bars? Low bar cast is low, but if she casts almost to HS on the high bar does that fulfill the requirements? Thanks!

    Coaches Old bars too slippery - how to repair?

    We got an old set of uneven SA bars but the wood is pretty worn down, they are very slippery. Is there anything we can do besides replacing the wooden bars? Can we sand them down?

    Women Peeling on bars! Please help!!!!

    Today was very stressful because of one thing... Squat ons. Every time I do a squat on I do it correctly, but when I catch the high bar I always slip/peel off the bar. I will most likely be missing some meets because of it! Any advice?

    Women Silver Bars Dismout

    I've heard rumours that a squat on, jump off dismount is acceptable now. I can't find it in any xcel updates, does anyone know where it is so I can show it to my coaches?

    Women L6 bars

    Quick question for all of you who have been here, what scores better in your opinion, or experience. A clean routine with good form, which makes it above horizontal on all casts, and free hip, but does not get up to handstand. Or A routine with not good form, a bit sloppy, but that can get...

    Women Still confused about L6 bars (CHS)

    I've been told that cast to horizontal is the requirement. I've been told, though, that if they don't go to handstand, it's a 9.50 starting value. I've also been told that without the handstand, they lose amplitude deductions. So can someone tell me - does this mean, for someone who hits "just...

    Women Lvl 2 bars deduction

    DD had an in house meet recently and her coaches had her do a straddle dismount. She got a deduction and is now working a pike dismount to get ready for her next meet. But I was just curious as to what the deduction for that would have been?

    Coaches Level 8 bars question

    Does a glide half glide kip (switch kip) count as a direction change for level 8 bars?

    Women Level 7 bars

    I am looking for a video of a bar routine with giant free hip giant combo. After 2 years of level 6 my DD hits her feet on the mat after free hip on low bar. Also, her cast HS is not vertical. In order to help with these deductions, she is experimenting with an immediate squat on and only one...

    Parents Bars at home

    DD desperately wants bars for Christmas. Of course, then we'd also need mats and it gets pretty expensive. Anybody have a kip bar at home, and if so, does your child use it a lot?

    Women level 8 bars pirouette question

    Hello! My DD's coach thinks her free hip to handstand is better than her cast to handstand for pirouetting. I think it sounds like a harder, riskier routine. Does this make sense to anyone? Have you guys seen it done often in level 8? She is still getting a hang of level 8 routines, so she...

    Coaches Rec girl scared of bars?

    Hi, Every Saturday I coach a intermediate rec class, but there is one girl in my class who should be in begginer. I've talked to her mom about it but she says that we should try for a few more weeks to see if she gets better. The main problem is she is scared of being upside down, and this...

    Parents Finally had a good bars night

    DD is repeating level 4. Bars has been her struggle. She's one of this kids that works hard but skills take a long time for her to get. Last night she came home from practice excited. She made all her kips and all her squat ons. I was so happy for her! Fingers crossed that she is past the...

    Women How long does it take for strength training to show results on bars?

    My DD is fairly weak on bars as a L5. She recently changed gyms and they do the TOPS conditioning program, which is much more intense than her previous conditioning. How many weeks of that conditioning will pass before it really starts to show on bars?
