    Problem with Back Walkover on Beam

    My daughter is experiencing a mental block on beam while doing her back walkover. She has been falling on just about every one, and has not even been able to get one foot on. It seems that her hips are not square and no matter how hard she tries, she just can't seem to land them. Any tips are...

    level 4 beam deduction

    My 7 year old level 4 daughter performed a beautiful vertical handstand on beam yesterday and then fell off the beam. She got right back on and completed her routine. She received a score of 7.50. If she had not fallen off, what might her score have been?

    Parents BHS Beam Mental Blocks

    My DD 1yr Lvl 7 worked all summer on her BHS and I have seen her practice it beautifully. It took awhile for her to have confidence. The coach used panel mats stacked up and allowed her to drop it slowly until eventually she was doing them on high beam. I have seen her do her whole routine...

    Balance beam

    Does anyone else think that the gymnasts of this quad (with the exception of ASac) are more timid about the beam than those in the last quad. I mean, ASac, Nastia, Shawn, and the rest really attacked the beam head on. It seems to me like the 'new' senior elites aren't very aggressive on the...

    Level 5 beam

    On the elements where you have high kicks, should you kick as high as you can (and still maintain form) or only horizontal to the hip? Is there a deduction for holding handstand longer than 1 sec?

    Parents Improving scale on beam

    My DD's scale on beam looks quite bad. Her coach told me to have her practice it at home with no further direction as to what the problem is. I don't think it's a flexibility issue. She's actually really flexible. When she does it you can push her leg up to almost a full split. She can...
