    Coaches Landing Flyaways

    One of my gymnasts is having a really hard time landing (tucked) flyaways. She does them fine into pit: height and rotation are good, but over-rotates to her back. Same deal when I put a small mat in - she never opens up to land. She says she can see when she's supposed to open up and is not...

    WAG Controlled lunge landing in JO Optional levels

    I know that elite gymnasts must show a stick with both feet together at the end of their floor routine tumbling passes (unless they are doing some type of jump/dance out of the pass), but it looks like female college gymnasts can still use a controlled lunge at the end of their tumbling passes...

    WAG Mats sliding when landing bar dismounts

    I have noticed recently at a few meets that the mats sometimes slide out under girls when they dismount bars (Level 7- Level 10). Why isn't it required for the host gym to provide a non-skid liner between mats? It seems a little unsafe and it can be unsettling to watch. I feel like the...

    WAG Landing mat at meets

    So I have a double tuck and a double pike in my routine. My coach would like me to do it without a landing mat but it's my understanding that it is allowed. Am I right? Can I use a 4 in mat for landing on floor for my double backs? I've seen it before. Also would you let your gymnast use one...

    WAG L7 Scoring - Lunge Landing and Bar Dismount

    In my effort to learn this new L7 world, I am curious about a couple items that impact scoring. On floor - if you land a tumbling pass and then immediately go to a lunge position, is that considered a step? DD says it's not, and it may just be something for optionals. Second, one of the other...

    McKayla (Air) Maroney...16.233...Did They Deduct The Landing?

    What an awesome vault by McKayla Maroney in the team finals! She landed...raised up on her toes and then had to step...so she stepped into the salute. Do you think they deducted the landing?

    Gymnast Landing on toes out of Round-off

    I have a level 4 going 5 gymnast that has her round-off backhandspring. While she can do it, it's not pretty by anymeans. Even though i do not believe she is ready to advance to level 5, she is being moved up. We are working on fixing her roundoff flip flop and multiple back handsprings. One of...

    Landing On Knees in BHS

    Hi all :) I am going to give you some background first. I also wish I had a video to post because I know it makes it a lot easier to give skill advice when there's one. Maybe I will try and take one tomorrow at the gym. My DD has been having issues with her RO BHS for awhile now. My guess that...

    Landing position for Beam handstands

    I have two beam videos that I watched recently that gave conflicting information. One is called It's About Stability with Debbie Rodriguez, the other is Balance Beam Handstand Complexes with Tammy Biggs. For landing a handstand, Debbie teaches a lunge with 3 positions (hands on beam, straight...
