    WAG Vault form help needed!

    Hey guys! I picked up gymnastics again after a few years off; this time competing adult gymnastics. I recently had my first competition of the season, and I realized just how bad my vault form is (whoops). I'm actively trying to get a better heel drive and more amplitude, but I'm currently stuck...

    Anon Form vs Skills

    Would love opinions please? We’ve just moved gyms. Skills my daughter can do aren’t being worked on at the new gym and they’ve gone back to basics with her. She is happy which is great although sore from conditioning and more practice opportunities due to an increase in equipment. She can also...

    Parents Form question

    My daughter is 5.5. She's been in pre-team for several months and I've been told they like to keep them there for a year. (This is for the first level of pre-team; they have 3 levels) The gym preaches the philosophy that the reason behind this is they want to work on form for a year. However...

    MAG Question about "normal side flip" form/technique.

    I've seen a lot of videos where someone will be facing forward (or slightly forward; and also their feet won't be completely planted sideways) when taking off into a side flip. And it looks like they slightly twist into the sideways rotation. I usually see this more often when an individual...

    Parents Is it bad form to leave a gym during Preteam? Also Xcel Bronze vs. Preteam?

    My daughter who turns 7 this month is in a JO Preteam class (6 hours a week) that she loves. She started in June after a year in an advanced preschool class at the same gym. She is happy there, and if she progressed as expected, would switch to Level 3 in May and compete next August. It is a...

    Parents Correct form

    Hi all, My DD (coming up to 8) has decided she loves gymnastics more than dancing and would like to now to be on the team. Neither myself or her dad know anything about gymnastics so dont know how we go about finding out if she is good enough for the team. She does recreational gymnastics at a...

    Parents straight legs, pointed toes- form help

    The end of the competition season and my gymnasts are uptraining to L3. But one thing I noticed last season is that the coach never really worked on basic form on making sure the gymnasts legs are straight at certain points or toes pointed and probably other form things too that I don't see. So...

    Parents Form vs. Progression?

    Hi! I'm a first-time poster here. This is my daughter's first competitive season. She is 5 years old and competing Xcel Bronze. In watching my daughter, I feel that her form is her strength... Beautiful pointed toes, straight legs, legs glued. (The arms can still use some work. ) However, she...

    Parents Tips to Fix "Messy" Form

    My DD (age 8) is a level 4 and recently had her first competition, ever, and didn't come up with the scores she was hoping for. Minus a brain fart on bars (back hip circle on low bar...she doesn't even know why she did it), her scores were reflective of messy form not from falls or missed...

    WAG Improving Form

    Most of the girls on our team (Xcel) have come from doing rec classes one hour a week. We never had a team until this year and form wasn't anything that was stressed during the rec classes. Now that they are on a team, they are really lacking the polish of a lot of the girls they are competing...

    Coaches Poor Form on Cast Handstands

    Is it acceptable to allow gymnasts to do less than perfect form when learning their cast handstands? Backstory: I have a couple of girls going to 6 in the Spring and they "kind of" have cast handstands (both do straight body and both are very strong). I feel like lately all I do is spot them on...

    Parents Aerial in park with poor form....would you say something?

    A friend whose daughter is a dancer has just posted a video on Facebook of her DD landing her first Aerial. I know she has one hour per week gymnastics at her dance school but from what she said I thought this was just stuff like front/back walk overs. I'm no coach but I can immediately see...
