    Coaches Level 8 Beam series options

I have a level 8 that can do BHS-BHS series which is ideal, but she is kinda on her way out, and the connection has been nothing but headache for her so...

    Women While competing on beam: What to do next when gymnast goes past vertical, and has to bail?

    Hi Everyone, I have a level 4 gymnast who is getting comfortable with her vertical handstands in practice, yet is cautious during the meets, and doesn't quite hit vertical. She says she isn't sure what she is to do if she goes past vertical during her routine at a meet, and has to bail. She...

    Does kicking / raising the leg above horizontal going into the second aerial break the connection?

    Parents Losing confidence on the beam

    My dd is a 9 year old level 7 that had a pretty scary beam fall in December. (Missed her hands on her bhs bhs series.) She became very scared after that. She seems to have lost all of her old confidence after that fall and her beam scores have definitely suffered. She actually has fallen off...

    Women Level 8 beam help

    My DD is a level 8 who has been dealing with an elbow issue (little league elbow) for the past month. She is starting to come back, but BHS on beam (and on floor) still bother her elbow. Her current beam routine has BHS BHS in it, but her elbow may not be ready for that impact. Any thoughts...

    Women How do I get them to STAY ON THE BEAM?!!

    We've had 5 meets so far with 5 more to go. And while we've gotten better (we've gone from a 106.4 to a 110.65), they still haven't managed to all stay on the beam. This is 8 level 4s, mostly falling on the cartwheel that they can make over and over flawlessly in practice. The fewest falls we've...

    Women What do judges look for in a Level 7/8 USAG floor and beam routine?

    Hello, I understand they (judges) are looking for precision and tightness. Maybe they are looking for what they see in the Olympics, but I want to understand why when you look at a gymnast doing a routine that looks very good yet, gets a low score. Are they looking for complicated movements...

    Parents Practice Beam

    Hi All, DD is asking for a home practice beam for her birthday. I'm thinking about it, if I can find one that is not too expensive. She could use the extra practice for balance, as she is very strong but a bit shaky. Can anybody recommend a good one? It's so hard to know the quality when...

    Parents Advice - Beam

    My youngest dd did 1 hour (instead of her usual 2 1/2 hours), she came out as usual at the end of conditioning and warm ups and said she had a head ache, I gave her some medicine and said she could sit out with me and I would tell the coach that she has a head ache and we would see how she would...

    Women beam acro

    Hi, everyone. As some of you know, my DD, who's competing L7 this year, has had a devil of a time with beam over the last year plus -- she has a very nice BWO BWO and a passable BHS but has been stuck there because she can't/won't do a HS BHS on the high beam. (She can do approximately 5 billion...

    Women Beam cartwheels

    DD recently started doing cartwheels on the high beam. She was doing really well with them for a few weeks, but tonight, I actually was around for part of the practice and she was doing these very strange bail-outs, almost a side handstand, and then just flopping over onto the ground. She was...

    Beam at meets (help me!!!!)

    I am a level 7, and I don't actually hate beam. My first meet is coming up though. At practice, I can stick a routine, but in the past I have had problems on beam at meets. (In (old) level 5 (new level 4) I was always petrified of falling on the cartwheel (which only happened once), (old) level...

    Beam squat mount help?

    My knees are not touching like it's a weird crouching position where my knees are pointed out. Any tips? And when I swing my legs back to the mount, it hurts my tailbone and I can't balance well.
