    Coaches Level 8 Beam Series

    I have an athlete who is struggling with her handspring handspring connection, but can pull off back tuck into back hand and 2 fluid back tucks. What actually qualifies as a series of these, if any? Looking for constructive feedback!

    Women Xcel Bronze Beam - Adult

    Long time no chat CB! I've been busy with work and out of the country! After I returned I realized my teammates signed me up for a meet (xcel Bronze) in January. As an out of shape 31 year old I'm worried I won't have all the skills clean in a month. For beam it states "One non-flight acro...

    Women BHS on beam

    Hi all! I'm wondering when, if ever, the fear of a bhs on beam will abate for my DD. She has the skill, and it looks pretty good according to her coach, but she HATES it. She's never frozen on the skill, unlike her fly away which had her hands glued to the bars for months, and she's never...

    Women BHS stick vs BHS step out on beam

    My daughter who is competing level 7 this year is competing a BHS BHS on beam. She learned her BHS on beam doing a stick and thats whats more comfortable for her. She did BWO BHS with the BHS landing on two feet. She made the choice this summer to do a step out BHS to stick series. She's one of...

    Women A Beam Dismounts

    I'm an adult gymnast who's going to be competing NAIGC level 6 this year--it's my first time ever competing in any sport, let alone gymnastics. The program at my gym is very self-guided and self-coached, which includes coming up with routine compositions. I've been scouring YouTube on beam...

    Parents L3 Beam timing

    I have a few questions about Level 3 beam timing. 1. Does your routine have to be done in 55 seconds or 1 minute? I recall seeing both numbers and I'm confused now. 2. Does it start when gymnasts place their hands on the beam and does it stop when they land on the mat or when they release their...

    Women Back tuck off the beam needs improvement!

    I have my back tuck off the beam as my dismount, but it is long and not very high. When I jumped upwards in the past, I hit my head on the beam. How do I improve my back tuck?

    Coaches Handstand forward roll on beam?

    Do you have tips how I can maybe land my handstand forward roll on beam? My coach says I should hold the handstand longer, but are there other tips? He hasn't coached this skill before so we are both looking for tips here.

    Women Level 9 beam

    Would you please tell me if a beam routine with these elements meets the level 9 requirements and is up to level? What would the start value be? I apologize in advance for the glaring parental ignorance. The skills aren't in order, and I may be missing some. Press HS Mount, front or side...

    Parents BWO on beam fear

    my 10 yo daughter is in her 2nd year as a 4 and is so so fearful of the BWO on beam. She cannot even begin to think of doing it on the high beam by herself and her coaches do not spot beam. I have downloaded some doc Ali's meditations on fear but she doesn't seem to like them so much. I don't...

    Parents Need good practice beam and mat for home!

    I know we should be careful about what is done at home but we would like a practice beam for home that is low and mimics the same length and width as a real beam and a good soft sturdy mat. Any tips on good quality and a reputable place to buy online or pretty much Amazon is safe bet? Any brands...

    Women Level 9 Beam Dismount

    For level nine dismounts, are you required to do at least a full twist? Or is this just one option that fits the requirement? Also, what would the deductions be for doing only a roundoff back tuck?

    Women chalk on beam?

    Is there some kind of new rule banning chalk use on beam? If so, is it regional? National? And if so, what's the thinking behind it?
