    WAG What is this drill for?

    Just curious about what a drill my DD is doing helps/leads to. A bit of back ground...she's hoping to go L8 come December and is still nursing a sprained knee. She has also flipped a tsuk into the pit already and has done some Yurchenko drills. So this is what she was working on during a vault...

    Coaches Favorite Splite Leap Drills

    I have a group of girls struggling with split leaps and am hoping some of the coaches here can give me some new ideas for working with them. Most of the girls have the basic idea, they have been working them for quite some time now, but unfortunately the problems they are having are all over...

    Coaches Front Handspring Vault Training and Drills

    The last time I coached, we were still using the horse. I've got some kids training Level 4 now and I would like some help with introducing the handspring vault. They have the run and the hurdle (mostly) down well. I'm having trouble getting them to block off the table. They are jumping...

    WAG Split leap floor and beam drills?

    My team is relatively weak on their split leaps and split jumps on both beam and floor. There are several problems. I have several that have good height and good split but their legs are bending getting the split position. Kind of a stag but it's certainly not a lift straight up with front or...

    Coaches Sole circle drills?

    Anyone got any good sole circle drills? I've got a kid who can do them in straps easily and can do it on the real bar when I spot only her knees, but doesn't quite get around on real bar. Any help would be great, hoping she can get this for zones next weekend! Thanks

    WAG Solo drills for giant/baby giant

    Hi all- I've looked through the skill thread for giant/baby giant drills but it looks like a lot of the really good ones require a coach to spot. Does anyone have suggestions for drills (especially to encourage strong tapping and correct timing, and discourage arching over the top) that a...

    Coaches Always looking for more drills

    Hi everyone, I am in charge of the Rec lesson plans at my gym and we try to have a video or new drill almost every week for coaches to try with classes. I also coach the pre team kids and can always use new drills for them too. The thing is sometimes I get stuck and cant find anything new. I...

    Coaches Pommel/Mushroom drills

    The mushroom/pommel seems to be the least favorite event for our level 5 and 6 boys to practice- no matter how much we try to motivate they like to sit more than circle. I would love it anyone has any fun drills to encourage the boys to try harder during practice. We have done circle...

    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...

    WAG Help with cast handstand and drills

    Hi all! I know that this must be a common topic, but I have looked through many forum threads and just didn't get the answer I am looking for. I am working on cast handstands at my gym, and my coaches say that I am strong enough to do it, I just don't know how. (I'm doing it in straddle). I...

    WAG Favorite yurchenko drills?

    I have a group of level 4s and 5s whose handspring vaults are coming along very well. We've been doing the same yurchenko drills as side stations for quite a while now. We have a 5 week break from meets coming up and I'd like to get some new drills to keep it interesting. We've been doing...

    Coaches Gym coaches Facebook page: clearhip drills

    Someone posted that they've been teaching cast handstand to back hip circle then cast handstand to clearhip and that it was magical. Think it's worth trying?

    WAG Back Handspring on beam drills

    I am working on getting a back handspring on beam, but I need to get it pretty quickly if I want to compete Platinum. Are there any safe, easy drills I can do to work on it at home? I don't have any mats or anything at home.

    Coaches Gymneo Drills

    Hi, So I've been working on cartwheels with my development gymnasts (6-7 year olds who recently upped their training to 5 hours a week) and noticed that whilst they have straight legs, finish in a lunge etc they're not perfect- some of them are slightly piked, some arched and some are slightly...

    WAG Could I ask coach to skip certain drills to minimize injury?

    DD is prone to a toe injury on her foot which happens whenever she jams her toe it bends forward. Usually happens when she is jumping up and forward to land on her feet on a stationary object (block, vault etc.). And it happens when she is tired so she can't always get the height she needs. It...

    Coaches Tsuk Drills

    When is it appropriate to start flipping Tsuk drills? I have some level 3s and 4s who have been working Tsuk entry pull to back into the foam pit (hands on the end of an in ground tramp) and some were having to stop themselves from flipping over and their block was great. it appropriate to let...

    WAG PLEASE check: my home drills!

    So guys, I really need your advice. As you might know, I am already 21 and not that lucky to be on a team, so I need to work out hard at home in order to make my dream of being a good Level 7 gymnast in 2 years true. I am at the gym only 3 times a week for 130min each, because there is no...

    WAG drills for cast HS

    I have not started learning cast handstands yet but I will be starting in about 3-4 months. Is there anything I can do at home or in the gym to strengthen the "right" muscles that will help me to get hit the handstand faster once I start learning? So far, I can do about 10 pike push-ups, I can...

    Coaches Need new clear hip drills

    We've been working clear hips for months now and they're only sort of getting better. We've done lots in the strap bar, lots spotted, and lots to the wall. Most of them are beginning to come out at horizontal, 3/4 with a spot and handstand spotted on straps. I'm hoping for faster results. Anyone...
