    WAG The Kip that comes and goes!!!!!!

    DD has been working kips since the summer. She got it consistently before summer finished. She was the only one in her level who had it and was trying to get it with straight arms. She is almost 9. This kipping went on for about 3-4 weeks. THEN WE WENT ON VACATION! We came back, school started...

    Anyone have any tips for getting a kip? I have the glide but I can't get on to the bar.

    WAG question about kip cast handstand

    This stems from what I hope will be a minor bump in the road for DD that is nonetheless causing some frustration and stress. In her gym (and possibly everywhere for all I know), the girls are expected to start their L8 bars routines from the ground, rather than from the springboard. She's having...

    WAG Straight arm kips

    DD finally got her kips! She has been doing them pretty consistently the last 2 weeks, just in time for competition later this month! My question is about her arms. They are bent, she doesn't shimmy on her belly to get up like I've seen some girls do, but there is a bend in her arms. Is this...

She is SO dang close but she just cant get on top of the bar! Any new drills or tips, PLEASE! I would HATE to scratch...

    Parents Shameless Brag - Weiler Kip!

    Can't help myself! I picked up DD last night and asked her my usual 2 questions, did you work hard for your coaches (she's 9) and did you have fun? She said yes to both... Then said she did a Weiler kip!

    Coaches Kips! (And kip trainers)

    Hey all, I have a really talented young new level 4 team and we're still struggling on kips. Out of my team of five, three have their kip inconsistently, and two haven't gotten it at all. When the three who have it inconsistently do it, they do a super bent arm, muscle up version. I have one...

    Parents Kip!

    My DD is new level 3 and she got her kip today! Yay! She was so excited. She was just about to get it when her bars rotation was over, so her bars coach let her stay there for a few more minutes and she got it. She came running off the floor and tackled me! Then the rest of her team tackled...

    Coaches Strenght level needed to get the kip

    I was once told by one coach at a camp that there is certain numbers of different strength exercises she's looking at before letting a gymnasts to start intensively work on kips. And if the kid can easily do all the strength stuff she/he can usually easily be taught the kip in a short time. I...

    Coaches Kip help

    My level 4s are having trouble with their kips. They started off great, but now after 2 months of working on the kips, they're starting to hit a road block (which I know is normal as some kids figure out kips quickly and others take forever). Here are their main trouble areas: 1. Glide...

    I have a 13 year old gymnast who recently started in my team. She has only done rec gymnastics until now. She is really talented and has learned for example RO-BHS, FHS, FT etc in just a month. She learns everything I introduce her in just a few tries on every other events but bars. She has...

    Coaches Kip vs. Pullover

    I am debating how much time to spend teaching kips when they receive the same start value with a pullover. At this level, it will be difficult to find kids that can do a perfect kip with nice straight arms, extended glide and straight legs. On the other hand, do you think that the judges will...
