    What is the purpose of learning forward and backward rolls on beam? Are they progressions for other skills?

    Coaches Drills to get beginners to jump on beam

    So I've been helping teach a beginners class since April and week after week the girls jumps on beam haven't changed. I'm finally taking over the class and really want to help them improve. I know they are scared, but they are literally jumping one cm off the beam. I was just curious if they're...

    Women What's this beam skill called?

    I saw someone doing a back walk over, but ending with the other foot. So if my DD takes off with the right, normally she would put her right foot down. This skill is a switch and she would land with her left, and kind of go through a hand stand. Any idea If it is a skill, and if it has a name?

    Women Beam flight level 9/10

    DD has B+B+C (BHS+BHS+BLO) for flight on beam. She thinks the b+b+c is .3 bonus, however if I am looking at the code of points correctly for triple flight I think only .10 which seem so low. Is it worth it? Need help please.

    Women Front walkover on beam?

    Recently I have been trying to learn a front walkover on the beam! I can do them really well on the floor but when I get onto the beam I'm too scared because you can't see where you feet are going when you come over the top! I'm scared that my foot will slip off or miss the beam! How do I get...

    Women Fear of BWO on beam.

    My DD just started training L5 and is afraid to attempt a BWO on the medium height beam. She has been doing it successfully on the low beam for a few weeks. The coach will not spot a BWO on beam as she told dd it's harder to do it alone if she gets used to a spot. There will be a coaching change...

    Women I fell on the beam at states and still made fourth.

    I know I should be excited and all, but if I hadn't fallen on the beam I would have won 1s aa and first on beam. (It was a spectacular fall as wellI grabbed on to the beam and hung on, so I didn't touch the ground) and I got a 9.0. The winner got a 9.45 so I would have won! I also won second on...

    Women Level 10 C dismount on beam

    We've had 3 girls in the past year tear their ACL and menicus in landing their twisting skills. This does not seem uncommon either as we've heard many sustain these injuries doing similar twisting skills. My daughter has decided she is removing her tumbling pass with a twisting skill. So she...

    Women Hand + feet placement on beam

    Hello, so i've got a few questions, i've been learning my back tuck on beam with my feet next to each other, but i've seen lots of gymnasts who put one foot in front of the other, is it easier to stay on this way? Same with roundoff off beam, lots of gymnasts do this with their feet behind each...

    Women Is there a preferred way to do a BHS on beam?

    One night, while waiting for the girls to release from practice, a couple of the moms noticed that a couple of the girls did their BHS different from some of the others. I'd really kind of forgotten about being curious about it until another thread reminded me so I wanted to come ask this...

    Women Split leap floor and beam drills?

    My team is relatively weak on their split leaps and split jumps on both beam and floor. There are several problems. I have several that have good height and good split but their legs are bending getting the split position. Kind of a stag but it's certainly not a lift straight up with front or...
