    Clear Hip Cirlce Help!

    I have gymnasts ranging from Level 6-9 who are struggling with their clear hips. The younger levels can't seem to come out of them high enough above horizontal and the older girls are trying to reach handstand. I've tried a bunch of things but nothing is clicking. Any suggestions??

    Free hip wrist action

    I have always struggled with free hips. I have one in my routine on the high bar, which I swing right into from a front uprise. The problem I usually have is that I can't seem to master the proper wrist action involved in the skill. I usually end up with my forearm getting stuck on the bar as I...
