    Coaches Teaching flyaways without a pit

    Hey everyone! I've begun teaching tucked flyaways to our prospective level 5s but am running into a little problem. We've been doing "dead cow" drills and they've been going okay, but when it's time to start flipping them it's obvious they get scared and are pulling in on the bar. I've tried...

    WAG Flyaway Fulls

    I posted a while ago about my hand slipping off the bar coming out of handstands — while I haven’t got new grips yet I was able to get a new skill — supposedly the “hardest skill in the gym” which I’m kind of shocked. Here’s the skill: I still don’t have giants... Anything to help improve my...

    Coaches Bar COaches why does Mya go to her back on her flyaway

    Hello Mya keeps landing in her back. I realize her hips are slightly picked but I feel there is something else going in in her rotation. Thanks for the expert eye and any advise to help her.

    WAG 2 ?s - Bars: straight body & piked flyaway

    Hi CB world! We just finished competing lvl 6 State last weekend. DD did very well (placed 3rd AA)! Here is her bar routine video (9.2 4th place) and I am hoping for a bit of education from experienced parents, coaches, and athletes. #1. My DD does not straddle when doing her kip cast...

    WAG Flyaway Fear

    ODD is having a rough time with bars lately. At the beginning of the summer, HC told me that they were planning on ODD scoring out of L5 and going straight to 7. They said that she was working harder than ever in the gym and she had the capability to go there. We were all ecstatic. ODD was...

    WAG Flyaway fears

    I know there are many topics on this,but I just want to vent! My DD just got over BWO on high beam block/fear and literally 2 weeks later cannot let go for a flyaway! This fear has gotten so bad that she has said she wants to quit gymnastics and is very teary going to practice. I feel so...

    WAG Flyaway: Please Help

    I am a training five who has competed level four twice already, and has all her skills for level five but the flyaway. I have like four weeks to get it back (had it a year ago) or else I can't compete. I have somewhat of a mental block on the tucking part and can't seem to get myself to do it...

    Flyaway Mental Block

    Please give ideas - I am a training five and have all my skills for level five except my flyaway which I just can't get myself to follow through on. I had it a year ago, but lost it, and have a fear of letting go for no reason. I have a month to get it back and am very stressed - and don't want...

    WAG Big flyaway fear

    I am a level five gymnast and I having been having many problems with flyaways. I competed level four for the first half of the season because I didn't have my flyaway. Two months ago I had a private and got it! But one practice I did one and my teammate said that I was close to the bar. My...

    Parents Flyaway

    ODD finally has one! Since she started gym, she has loved bars the most, and she has been bugging every coach she has ever had to teach her a flyaway. Right before she left for summer camp in mid July her coach taught her one, on pit bar and spotted on the real bars. She came back from camp this...

    Giant / Flyaway Fear

    Hi everyone, my name is Leia and I am 14 years old and I am training for level 9. My problem is that I will do my giants but no flyaway on the pitbar and then when I get to the high bar I won't do either my giants or my flyaway without someone standing there or spotting me. I have had my giants...

    WAG Trouble getting flyaway?

    Okay so I was recently at a gymnastics camp and we were working flyways with a spot into the foam pit. But when it was my turn i was scared to do it. I was really nervous because I have done a flyaway with a spot before and I pulled in and my legs banged on the bar and it hurt pretty bad. So now...

    WAG Flyaway. Technical question.

    Talking about the flyaway and the point of release of the bar. I understand it starts at the tap swing, and the release should happen with open shoulders and head NOT looking at the bar. But should it be with the body hollow, toes up and arms by the ears, or candlestick. If so should it be at...

    WAG hitting feet while learning the flyaway.

    DD was on her way to doing beautiful flyaways and really loved them and kept jumping up and down on the days of training flyaways..... she was almost solo when she hit her feet......... fast forward about 2 months, she still can't figure out when to let go. Coach is still heavily spotting her...

    Coaches Teaching the flyaway: layout, or tuck?

    Hi friends! I'm starting to teach one of my girls how to do a flyaway. She's the only one who can kip so far, so I feel she is ready. We are going through the beginning drills, such as candle flips, sighting something with the eyes and tapping to that spot, getting her toes to that visual marker...

    WAG Flyaway fears...still..

    DD is still having flyaway issues. She has competed lvl 5 at 2 meets. The first she made it, the second she scratched. I just learned she has not made once since before the last meet. We have a meet this weekend. I have been totally out of the gym and leaving this between coaches and DD...

    WAG other bar dismounts than flyaway? Butt Bounce?

    I was just wondering if there are or maybe you know any different bar dismounts besides the regular under swing (with or without twists) and flyaway (tuck or layout), that are not too hard to learn? Doesn't matter if valuable by JO or not. I like how flyways look, but I sometimes wish there was...

    Parents Flyaway issues

    My DD is about to compete her first level 5 meet of the season and she still doesn't have her flyaway. Her coach prefers that his gymnasts do a layout flyaway instead of a tucked one. The problem is that her timing is off and releases too soon, therefore doesn't have enough time to land on her...

    WAG Why a layout flyaway?

    Dd is training level 5 and the coach is having all the girls learn the fly away in a layout position rather than tucked. Would love a coaches point of view on why this would be preferred. It seems so much more difficult for the girls to learn! Ideas?
