    WAG Arm placement in full turn or any turn

    For optional levels, do you need to have your arms in crown when you do turns (especially on beam)? Or can you have them elsewhere? Is it a deduction?

    WAG Full turn help!!!

    Hi! My cousin is a gymnast and has a full turn as a requirement in her floor routine. She is really frustrated because she can’t get it, and the rest of her training group all mastered it months ago. She follows her coaches advice to squeeze her core and stay tall, but it’s just not clicking. I...

    WAG Weird full turn question for judges?

    If there’s any judges here or anyone who knows the answer to this; Our beam coach has worked like dozens of ways to do a full turn with my daughter, she settled on coupe (sp) and it’s… a work in progress. She’s happy because she’s landing them all now. BUT we noticed that her foot that is up in...

    WAG Full turn deductions

    Hi, I’m trying to level out of 5 this summer. I’m having trouble on my full turn on the beam. Is it a deduction to step backwards out of a full turn? If so how much will judges deduct? And what is the point value of a full turn?

    WAG Level 5 full turn - what makes it count?

    So my kiddo is supposed to score out in May, and beam... beam and her are not friends. Unsurprisingly, the full turn is going terribly. At what point does the full turn actually count as the full turn and not a missing skill if she falls? I.e does her body and turning foot just need to be fully...

    Full Turn Direction

    Hi, I’m fairly new to gymnastics and am self taught until I can join a gym (next winter). I thought my full turns were good, until I realized I was turning the wrong way! I always put my right foot in front and turn to the left. Is it okay if I do this, or do I have to have my left foot in front...

    WAG Full turn on beam deductions

    When i do my full turn on beam, my bent leg slides from passé to coupe. Is this a deduction? And what other deductions can you get for this specific skill?

    WAG Stepping behind on full turn (help!)

    Never any problems on full turn (on beam), until she stepped behind at comp last weekend. Now she can't do it at all without stepping behind (and thus devaluing the skill). Anybody got any great full turn tips?

    Parents Leg placement on full turn

    DD has been working on her full turn at home and I was wondering where her "bent " leg is supposed to be? And is it supposed to rest against the other leg throughout? She would ask at the gym normally, but she is currently on break!

    WAG Full turn beam question

    i have a girl who tends to spiral off the beam as she turns. How can I help her to not do this? She has a dance background, so she knows how to turn...on the floor.

    Coaches Gymnasts Can't Full Turn on BB

    I am really struggling with a group of girls who just cannot seem to full turn on beam. We have a handful who can get around, and generally land them, but another bunch who cannot even get their foot around. One girl in particular, preps for the turn, does a 1/4-1/2ish turn then puts her other...

    Coaches Full Turn?

    In Level 7, can you complete the full turn requirement on beam by doing an "inward" turn? As in, lunge with your right leg forward, pick up your left foot and turn to the left. Also - why do I see so many girls turning with their arms up at shoulder height? Shouldn't they be lower?? A lot of the...

    Full turn on floor!

    My gymnast can't get the full turn on floor. Today was their gold mark testing day (something like your TOP-tests there in US..?) and full turn is required. Simple full turn. But the girls looked something like jumping frogs or chicken trying to fly when they tried to do that skill... It was...

    I want to learn how to do this. How would I go about doing this? (Video of the skill- This person does it about half way through into a middle split: YouTube - Maria Filatova 1977 Europeans EF Beam) I'm just wondering because I tried quite a few and make it about 3/4 around but my knee is...

    Full turn on beam?

    So I've just about developed callouses on the balls of my feet from trying to work out how to perform a controlled full turn on the beam (I was practising at home on the tiled floor, using the line as the beam for accuracy). I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. The thing is, I can do them on...
