    Women L9 Beam

    1) Can someone give me examples of B dismounts on beam for L9? My daughter's dismount is hurdling to her RO and then a full. Seems like she is struggling with that again. One coach said her problem is she is hurdling crooked. So she suggests doing a standing RO to full. My daughter said...

    Parents Beam dismount?

    Dd1 has been working on a front walkover off our footstool at home (which i try to stop her doing, as I dont like her doing that sort of thing at home) and at gym last night she did it off the beam - so she goes into a handstand at the end of the beam, arches over and lands on her feet. Is this...

    AK 1 Beam Help ASAP

    On the mount when you swing from a straddle sit to the squat position I tend to lose my balance. Sitting on the beam hurts my tail bone and I can't balance well. I haven't been on beam in probably a month or more so I lost my mount. I used to have it. But now I'm not swinging high enough to make...

    Women Overtime Deduction and Other Beam Related Questions

    What is the deduction for going overtime on the beam in L3? When does the time start and when does it end? My daughter seems to take a lot of time after saluting to start to actually get on the beam. Also, once she tripped while turning around after she saluted the judge before even touching...

    Women Hurting wrists in bhs on beam...

    I have hurt my left wrist at least 3 times doing back handsprings on low beam by myself. My left hand is behind my right hand when I grab the beam, and will slip too far to the right and twist. It's bothering me because this time when it happened, I couldn't do back handsprings on beam for a...

    Women BWO on beam hands

    Hi! Need some suggestions on this... As long as dd is going forward, her hands placement on beam is fine. So she can tic-toc for example with no problem. But going backwards, her hands would go over each other or one is in front of the other. So then she'll struggle to go over and even when she...

I can usually land the but they hurt my feet like crazy!!!! Any tips/exersizes/conditioning to help...

    Parents "Keep Your Eyes On the Beam!"

    So my little one just started competing, just turned 7 level 2, and is having a blast. She's placed every meet top 3 AA, and has no real idea what this means, just knows she's done well. But the little bugger cannot keep her eyes on what she's doing on any event! It's funny in some aspects, her...

    Women Forward Skill on Beam

    It's my understanding that there can be composition deductions if you don't have forward and backward skills on beam and floor for L8 and above. I can see a FWO, front handspring and front aerial as forward. Just curious if cartwheels or a roundoffs would also count as a forward skill? Seems...

    Women Backwalkovers on Beam

    I am trying to compete level 6, but I have not scored out of level 5 yet. I have all of my skills except my backwalkover on beam, and I only have two meets left to score out at that are both in a month or less. I can do backwalkovers on low beam consistently, I do them on medium beam every day...

    Women BHS on beam

    DD is having trouble getting both hands on the beam for her BHS. Very often she gets both of her feet, but usually only one hand. One coach has said that when she sets she is not square on the beam and that she is turning one hip. Yet, she has a very nice BWO on beam which she never misses...

    Women Shackles on beam?

    Are shackles commonly used on beam? It was my turn at the carpool and my daughter's team were all complaining that they kept falling and hurting themselves because their feet would get caught while wearing shackles on beam. I don't know if it was because this was the first time they've used it...

    My DD is very confused on her beam mount for the new level 4 routine. She is a lefty and has always done the leg swing mount on the old levels by swinging her LEFT leg over the beam.

    Coaches Level 3 Beam

    My level 3s don't compete for a few more months, but I am looking at scores from fall meets and it appears beam scores are much lower than they were for the old level four. I will get to go watch a meet in December but I was wondering if that was the case in your area and if so, what they are...

    New beam guidance

    DD is a level 5 and I know that this means that there is no set standard. However, she cam back from practice last night with the start of a new beam routine. She told me that they now are not allowed to stop on the beam, that they have to have some sideways dance moves and that they must do...
