Looking for some floor help! DD's coach wants her to either do the double full or double back this year, and is saying they are both D's, however I thought a double full is a C and a double back is a D, just wanting some clarification.
In our rec program and XCEL, our coaches teach students to do two back hip circles in a row. My understanding is that this combination teaches students to rotate their wrists and keep their body hollow. My thinking is that I would much rather teach a back hip circle ending with a strong cast...
Has anyone ever had a kid whip their head on a double lay dismount landing, so that it looks like whiplash as they hit the ground? Gymnast says it doesn't hurt, but it doesn't look healthy to me. She does the "tight arch" style of flipping.
Nick Klessing appears poised to have this vault named after him:
A bit of trivia regarding this vault: while it has not been done internationally before, it was done by one gymnast in the USA back in 2009, at Whitlow and also National Qualifiers.
That gymnast who first performed it was.... me:
Hey! I recently came across a video of Simone doing a Yurchenko double pike into a pit on YouTube. I think that’s super cool and a bit insane! I don’t know if she’ll ever actually compete it but I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. It was just something so fresh with all of the twisting vaults we...
Hi,
I hope I find some help here.
One of my gymnasts can"t land the double back. She says she can't see the floor. Right now she is doing them off the trampoline on a soft mat but she always lands on her back, so 2,5 basically. In my opinion most gymnasts don"t really SEE the floor. What...
Hello, I have been having a really hard time doing a double pike on the floor. I’m not sure why because I’ve done all the drills, and I can do it very well off of the tumble track and air floor up to height. My layout sets are very high too. Right before I’m about to go for it my heart starts...

Just wondering if I may be double jointed in my shoulders, I have no pain in them but from doing walkovers my shoulders seem to click or pop. Also I’m very flexible in my shoulders, so it wouldn’t be to do with that, so do you think that’s what’s causing this weird feeling?

For boys it's much easier compared to girls... bar height and lack of a low bar are major.
Have any of you done outdoor posed portraits of your gymnasts?
I have googled "ballet dancer portrait alley city" and got a ton of gorgeous pics (I included a few links below to show what I am thinking - these are NOT MY PICS) but when I did the same with gymnast, I got a bunch of kids doing...
