    Back handspring on beam

    Okay so I just got my back walkover on the high beam. I am comfortable with it now, so I was thinking maybe I should start working back handsprings. But as of now, I would NEVER try a back handspring on the high beam. If I missed my hands I would kill myself! Of course I'm going to practice...

    Level 9 Beam Requirements?

    I'm a bit confused. I've seen lots of level 9 beam routines on YouTube, but the level 9 gymnast on our team doesn't seem to fit them. She never scores well on beam and i was wondering if she was meeting the requirements. I know it seems like none of my business, but the level 9 beam routine that...

    How are hands placed on backhandsprings on beam?

    We have had many opinions on this in the gym--- how do you, as a gymnast or coach, have your gymnasts place their hands on their back handsprings on beam? I'm not a fan of hands on top of each other, or just thumbs on the beam. Our head coach thinks if your LEFT foot is in front (and landing...

    Strength moves on beam

    I've seen a lot of Elites who do some strength move or press to handstand on beam. I'm noticing it more at Levels 9-10. Is this something we should think about adding to beam routine at Level 9? My personal feeling is that judges want to see gymnasts do some strength move and seem to reward...

    name of beam dismount please?

    My daughter is having a difficult time doing the fly-away. In fact, it kept her from advancing to level 8 last season. Her coach wants to try something new as she is just having a mental block letting go and flipping. She will swing her legs on the high bar in a straddle, let go, bounce on the...
