    Parents Has anyone's dd done cartwheel/round off L7 beam instead of BHS?

    My dd, age 12, is having a huge mental block on BHS on high beam. It's ridiculous. So bad that the coach is thinking of having her compete 6 until this issue resolves. Her coach wants BHS on beam, states the judges don't like round off's instead of BHS. She has all her other level 7 skills, a...

    WAG Cartwheel drills for 4 year old please!

    My DD is so close to getting her cartwheel but something isn't clicking! I have tried telling her to keep her legs straight, keep arms straight, kick harder, bring legs up faster, lift hands up quicker etc etc and she is improving but very slowly. I feel like she's hit a wall with it, in her...

    Cartwheel on beam troubles

    Lately I have been having trouble with my cartwheel on beam. I have been practicing on a low beam with panel mats on either side but I just can't seem to get it. I have a good cartwheel on the floor, as well as on a line, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I start doing the cartwheel, i...

    WAG Cartwheels and Handstands

    I'm in level 3, and I'm trying to learn how to do cartwheels and handstands on beam. In cartwheels I can only land one foot on the beam. My handstands don't go high enough, probably because I'm scared of falling. Does anyone know how to make these skills better?

    WAG Cartwheel fear

    I have a 13 year old gymnast who was off gymnastics for 1,5 years and returned last October. The reason she quit when she was 11 was that she got so scared of cartwheel on beam. She was moved up too was back then and she didn't have time to get comfortable with that cartwheel before competing...

    WAG 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...

    Straight legs in cartwheels and split jumps?

    I can't feel the bend in my legs. I can't feel when it's locked and when it's not so I have a bent ugly back leg. Any help on the split jump? And in cartwheels I can't feel that my legs are bent. Usually I can feel it.

    WAG Cartwheel on beam - realistic goal?

    As some of you may have read, my coach is leaving soon. I have been working on a bunch of skills with her, and it makes me sad to think that she won't be here to see me get them. I've decided I want to get one more skill with her before she leaves, and I think the one I am closest too is getting...

    WAG Cartwheel on Beam - anyone seen this before?

    So my daughter is doing her L5 cartwheel on beam and lands it about 50% of the time. What I mean by "lands it" is that she doesn't fall off. The problem is that I noticed that she is the only kid in all of the meets that we have been to so far that lands her first foot on the beam, but then...

    Coaches Another question - Cartwheel from both legs.

    How imparative is it to do a cartwheel from the right side and from the left side? I have one girl who is a "righty" and one who is a "lefty". They were told the need to know how to do them from both sides. Thanks

    Parents Cartwheel Question

    My 6 year old dd is a leftie and she is more comfortable attempting her cartwheels from her left foot. When she does them she tends not kick up overly high and when she ands she twists her legs over each other, she seems to have trouble even if she kicks up high enough, she does a straddle shape...
