    Women Beam shoes

    What's the best brand? And where can you get them for less than $50? Seems a little ridiculous to spend that much on little pieces of leather.

    Women Beam Forward skills

    I want a forward or side acro skill in my beam routine. So far, I am doing a BH and a Back Tuck. I don't want a Cartwheel. I have my side aerial but I think it will be hard on beam. So I thought about a Front Toss to Sit on beam! Here is a video: Is this a hard move? Do you think it is...

    Women Romanian Beam Complex

    My DD main coach, who is on vacation till next week and has become a family friend, just messaged me that she purchased some CDs called the Romanian Beam Complex for DD Christmas present. Has anyone had any experience with these CDs? I think I am just nervous because of the "Romanian" in the...

    Women Continued beam momentum

    My DD (11 yrs old) has been struggling with her beam connection for several months. There was a point where she was on the cusp of getting it consistently, then lost it over the summer during recovery from a minor injury. Then, some fears have crept in with the advent of puberty. I've tried to...

    Women Beam Help!!

    I was wondering if anyone has ever struggled with this or has any advice: I think that doing beam is the most exhausting thing ever---like infinitely more tiring than floor routines. It is difficult to get through a beam routine just because it feels like I want to stop and rest halfway...

    Women Is there any skill that can replace back walkover on beam lvl 6

    Ok...without going into detail on why my level 6 gymnast cant do a back walkover or a back handspring on beam (this would be like writing a short novel)...is there anything else that can replace those? Can she do say a round off or front walkover? What if she did a skill to replace the back...

    Parents recommend a home beam?

    I am planning to get my daughter a beam for the holidays. Can anyone recommend one? I think I will wait on the bar but wondering if anyone has any opinions in bars at home? Safe? Concern about forming bad habits?

    Women Full turn beam question

    i have a girl who tends to spiral off the beam as she turns. How can I help her to not do this? She has a dance background, so she knows how to turn...on the floor.

    Women Level 6 Beam

    I am trying to understand Level 6 beam requirements. It is my understanding that Level 6 beam requires one "B" skill (plus the As). Does a BWO-BWO series satisfy the B requirement? My daughter has her BHS on beam but not confident and consistent enough to compete it at this point. They are...

    Women Level 9 beam connection

    in level 9 I see you can do both bhs X bhs or bhs X back tuck/LO do you get a bonus for doing the layout/back tuck in the connection or can my gymnast just compete bhs X bhs and have the same start value??:)

    Last year I coached the level 3s and they did really really well...3 state champions and top 10 for team! Their were 9 girls in the group and their ages ranged from 7-12 (only one 7 year old). This year I have 14 level 3s.....14!! And their all so much younger. Within that group I have three 6...

    Leaps on the Beam

    I used to be able to do really good leaps on the beam. While I was doing one, I straddled the beam and now I have a fear of them. How can I get over this mental block?

    Was Simone Biles Overscored at Beam Finals?

    I was wondering your opinions, since I hear a lot of people thought so, but I didn't think so when I watched it.

    Women Anyone else spending far more time on bars than floor an beam??

    I spend far more time working on bars and vault skills than on beam on floor! I would have been ready for my competition on floor and beam almost a year ago, but I just needed the time for bars and vault...although I am strong on bars and the yurchenko vault isn't that hard I think, it just...

    Women Bent knees on beam

    DD is 7 and competing L5. She has competed both BWO and BHS on beam. Both of these have bent knees. She does a beautiful BWO on floor, but says she can't do it like that on beam without falling. Same with her BHS. Her coach doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. In fact, she told DD...

    Women Back Handspring on beam drills

    I am working on getting a back handspring on beam, but I need to get it pretty quickly if I want to compete Platinum. Are there any safe, easy drills I can do to work on it at home? I don't have any mats or anything at home.
