    Coaches Wolf jump

    We are currently debating the correct body position for a wolf jump. Should the bent leg be at a 90 degree angle or tuck under towards buttocks ? The USAG dance tech isn't very specific. Thx.

    WAG Tips, stretches, drills to straighten back leg on beam split jump

    Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone had drills or stretches etc to help straighten out my DDs back leg on her beam split jump. She's lvl 5 and seems to always have a bent back leg. The coaches tell her to just straighten it but she can't. She's a very strong, powerhouse gymnast, but not...

    WAG Embarking on a hours jump - stress fracture/apophysitis prevention

    There is a group of girls at our gym who will be seeing a significant hours jump when the go back to "school schedule". (16 hours to 25 hours) The coaches are confident that the girls can handle it. With my mom hat on, I worry about sleep, school and staying healthy. With my medical hat on, I...

    I have a very determined child that just cannot get off of the floor. She's competing excel bronze. All of the other girls are doing leap to split or straddle jump. I have her doing leap bc it is required and leg swing hop. She is unable to get off one floor for both. Same with vault. We...

    Coaches Drills to get beginners to jump on beam

    So I've been helping teach a beginners class since April and week after week the girls jumps on beam haven't changed. I'm finally taking over the class and really want to help them improve. I know they are scared, but they are literally jumping one cm off the beam. I was just curious if they're...

    WAG Jump to High Bar? jump vs. fall

    I am coming up to my 4th Xcel Silver competition and I had a simplified bar routine but now it is pullover, cast back hip circle, cast squat on, jump to high bar, 3 tap swings, 1/2 turn dismount. I recently got over my jump to high bar mental block, but now when I jump, I just fall to it and...

    WAG Dance/jump series for 6/7 &/Gold

    My question pertains to both beam and floor for levels 6, 7 and Xcel Gold. I am having some trouble interpreting the cheat sheet charts. I would like to know if there is a deduction for not connecting jumps on beam. Also for floor level 6/7 it says indirect connection is OK for leap/jump series...

    WAG perfect split jumps in 6 months - possible or not?

    I am assisting with some coaching at my gym. Today, coach told me to do split jumps and leaps with our "grasshoppers" (levels are named after animals, they would be about L5 in USAG!) Ok so, their straddle jumps on floor are ok, on trampoline they are great. But their split jumps are horrible...

    WAG We don't work split jumps in the gym - what should I do?

    We hardly ever work split jumps in the gym, because we are mixed gender. I finally have my split jump and split leap and straddle jump to horizontal. I practiced at home with ankle weights on the tramp and just doing them on my mat at home. Now I have them consistently since one month. I am...

    WAG What's the hardest part of vault for you/your DD? Jump, take-off, sticking it?

    So would do you think, what is the hardest part of a tsuk or a yuri? Some people say it's the jump on the table, some say it's the take-off, but most people I know think it's the landing. In my gym, kids start learning these at L6, sometimes at L5! All of them can do tsuks and yuris into a...

    WAG Made the jump! But ended with broken elbow

    Ydd was working on her jump to the high bar at practice the other night. She was getting very frustrated with herself that she kept jumping and missing because all the other girls were making the jump and doing the high bar kip. It was her last turn before they had to rotate to beam, I really...

    Coaches Level 4 Floor Straddle Jump

    I was reading the text yesterday and it seemed to indicate that the legs should be straddled at a down angle (like a straight jump with legs apart), but then later it seemed to indicate it should be a straddle pike (with knees turned up). Can anyone clarify? Thank you!

    WAG Ballet vs.Gymnastics Leaps/Split Jumps

    I know that in both gymnastics and ballet, the hips needs to be squared forward during split jumps, but what about the rotation of the thighs? For example, should the top of the front foot be facing up or to the side? I know that in ballet, the thigh/feet should definitely be facing to the...
