    Clear Circle and Giants - Problem with wrist shift

    Hi all, Just beginning to teach these skills to one of my gymnasts who just doesn't get the wrist shift and I'm a little bit at a loss as to how to fix it! She can do giants on shiny bar in gloves and loops, but she obviously doesn't have to shift her wrists for them! She can do really nice...

    Tiny gymnast with Stride Circle issues

    My little dd (6) is having a hard time with her stride circle thanks to her tiny hands. She has slipped off the bar several times on the way around and just seems to struggle with the hand rotation around the bar! Her coaches say her technique is good it's just her size. Are there any...

    front hip circle technique

    My dd is competing level 4 this year. She can complete her front hip circle almost every time, but it is not "pretty". She can not do it with straight arms and most of the time ends up with the bar high up on her chest at the completion, making it difficult to connect to a cast. Her coach has...

    Another mill circle question....

    My dd tends to widen her grip at the end of her mill circle. I was wondering if there was a deduction for this?Thanks!

    How was your first try on a mill circle?

    Ok so I haven't ever done a mill circle..Just wondering if yours was difficult the first time or if you think mine will be? I'm 14, about 5'1 and average weight and I'm very strong and flexible. I have seen some of the other girls at my gym struggle and have a really hard time with it, and some...

    Kadee was tickled pink..she got her mill circle

    When I picked her up from gym last night..she comes running over. "Momma, Momma...I got my mill circle." She started training L3 in June and she has had trouble with it since. She has always gotten so close, but she just couldnt get it to the top of the bar. She said last night that she did it 4...

    mill circle bad habit

    I just need to vent about my dd's mill circle. She taught herself the bad habit of switching her hand grip to get to the top of the bar back in February when she was trying to get the skill before her first L3 meet. She's still doing it now and it's become a bad habit. She knows she needs to...

    Front Hip Circle in Grips?

    Hello! I got grips a couple weeks ago (maybe 4? but I'm only in the gym 1 maybe 2 days a week) For the first bit I simply swung on the highbar doing tap swings and such in them to get used to them and to wear them in. Now to the actual question: When you wear dowel grips (I have...

    front hip circle help

    My dd has been struggling with her front hip circle for a few months now. She is getting really close but still can't quite coplete it yet. Her coach says that all she needs is "a 2 finger spot" at the end of the skill and she makes it, but if she doesn't get that little bit of help (basically...

    Sole circle... AHH!

    I'm working really hard on my sole circle because it's a bonus for my level. I get to about 45 on the bar, and then fall off! How do I get enough power to go all the way around in my sole circle? P.S, it's the one where you go all the way around on the bar to squat on/pike on position and then...

    Parents Big brag - SHE DID IT!! (mill circle)

    State meet is Sunday - and she's been working SO darn hard on this stupid mill circle. Told me she didn't care about medalling, as long as she got her mill circle. Well tonight? She came running in from practice screaming "I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT!!!!". Huge smile across her face, beaming...

    Oy. This mill circle is going to be the death of her/me/her coach

    Quick synopsis - she's a 5 yo L3. She used to love bars, now, she can't seem to keep the mill circle with any consistency. She'll get it once, and be unable to recapture it. Her coaches are perplexed. She's beyond frustrated. I just keep thinking - everyone says you don't need it after...

    Parents Circle of Stars Meet- level 4

    Well, my DD's first level 4 season is winding down. After a fun local meet (Flip Fest), we headed to Indianapolis for Circle of Stars. It was a huge meet with something the girls had not seen before-they used a strip of floor, instead of a whole floor for the floor routine. The team was a bit...
