    Back walkover on beam

    I've had my back walkover on beam for 2 years now and I usually always land it except lately as soon as my hands hit the beam I already know I'm not going to land it because I'm not even in close to being in line with the beam anymore... what am I doing wrong ?

    Handstands on beam

    Hi I was wondering if anyone has any good drills for helping gymnasts learn handstands on the balance beam. My six year old was just accepted into a level 3 program which requires handstands on the beam. She can do floor handstands quite well but just can't seem to get it on the beam. Is it...

    I can balance in a straight handstand pretty well on floor, but when it comes to beam I can't seem to do it at all. Does anybody have any tips for getting balance with hands together?

    Cartwheel on beam and Kip

    I am trying to move up and stay in level five but I can't seem to get my cartwheel on the beam. I have been trying on floor beams and low beams and making them but as soon as I go a little higher I don make it no matter how much I want to. The thing that really frustrates me is that I used to...

    Parents My DD got her beam routine!

    It has been a very long wait, but my DD finally got her beam routine. It has a lot of poses, so she will need to practice it over and over again. She did have one move that the choreographer almost gave her, where she kicks back with a bent leg, and almost touches her head to her foot...

    Hi! I have very bad flexibility in my shoulders which makes it really hard to do a backwalkover on the floor much less on the beam:). So I am going to do a backextension roll instead.

    help with back handspring on beam

    I have started doing back handsprings on a low, wide, carpeted beam with panel mats on both sides. And I just cannot get my hands in the right position! I know one is supposed to be in front of the other, but when I jump backwards I land on my hands so fast that I mentally can't put one hand in...

    Staying On The Beam

    I've seen competitions where falling off the beam was like a cold being spread to every participant. Even the most consistent beam workers seemed to be losing it that day. My question to all gymnasts, coaches, and parents, is what do you do to teach girls not to fall off the beam? Are there...

    My DD Delighted To Have A New Skill And It Isn't Even A Back Walkover On The Beam:)

    After some of the posts today about fast tracking kids, I wanted to tell everyone that gymnasts really do get true joy out of the simple accomplishments and for me that is worth it. My 5 year old dd got her cartwheel on the beam and she was so proud of herself she just kept doing it. Yeah!

    Jump roping on beam?

    Does anyone know the point to this drill? DD has been doing these for the last few weeks. At first I thought there has to be a good reason for it because it just doesn't look too safe. DD had two bad falls on the same day. Her foot got caught on the rope and went face first onto the beam! Ooch...
