    Parents Leaps and Jumps

    My daughter (13, L8) has such solid leaps and jumps on floor...and they are SO BAD on beam. Same leaps/jumps. This is pretty new and she's working on it and I am not saying a word. I know leaping on a beam is not the same as leaping on a floor. It's just amazing how different they are. I know...

    WAG Split leap question

    In a split leap, is there a deduction if you bend your front leg and kick to a straight leg? (Both for beam and floor) This is what I'm talking about: (the first few seconds)

    WAG Need value of level 10 leap combination on beam

    If anyone can help me with this, I would appreciate it. I need the bonus value of a switch leap, split jump, split full vs a tourjete half, beat jump, split full. Which one would give more bonus? My daughter thinks it would be the latter, because it’s an E,A,E vs a C, C, E. Anyone?

    Parents Only flexible when doing leaps

    Hi. My daughter is 12 and Competes in trampolining but also still does gymnastics for fun. when she 5-8 she trained around 9 hours a week and was fairly flexible ( hyper splits both legs, east straddle press). Currently She’s not naturally flexible and can struggle to Touch her toes sometimes...

    WAG Level 7&8 Beam Jump/Leaps

    How does the scoring work for level 7&8 for jumps and leaps on beam. I think (?) there is a requirement for a 180 jump or leap. What if it is close to 180, but not quite? Say 160-170. Do you not get credit for the requirement and lose a lot of points? Or just get deducted a little for not...

    WAG Creative ideas for level 7 leap pass on floor

    Not sure why, but my daughter just can't get the hang of a switch leap. She is super flexible. She hits the 180, but it is at the wrong angle, so it always looks like the back leg is dragging too low. We know what the problem is. She throws the front leg up way too high, but she has tried...

    WAG Level 6 Leap Pass

    Hello! I am currently a 16 year old JO level 6 gymnast, and I have a question regarding the leap pass. For the level 6 floor leap/dance pass, is it acceptable to do 3 chaine turns with the middle one having a jump in it, connected to a chasse straddle jump? I’d like to make it that instead of a...

    WAG Leaps and jumps turning direction

    I've been trying to picture various leaps and jumps with turns and read an old thread on here and got myself thoroughly confused. I'm imagining a gymnast with a best left leg split, just because that is what my DD has, but this isn't about her gymnastics but me getting my head around it without...

    WAG Level 6/7 split leap question

    My daughter is just a level 4 so it doesn’t pertain to her, but I’m curious about the 180 degree leap requirement in level 6/7. I see a lot of routines at those levels that have leaps that clearly do not meet 180. I know they receive deductions on the leap, but let’s say it’s 140-160 degrees...

    Parents Help with "bad leg" split leap

    Hi! My daughter is pretty new to team gymnastics. As part of their warm up they always do good and bad leg split jumps across the floor. Apparently, she has just been doing it with her good leg each time and ignoring the instruction when they switch to bad leg. Now they are doing left and...

    WAG Switch leap back leg

    Well, I just competed at a meet this past weekend. I got an 8.55, because my start value was a 9.7 due to a missing B. I used to have a switch leap in there, but we took it out due to an extremely bent back leg. I really need some help with this. I am getting some pretty bad deductions from...

    WAG Leap help!

    I have a young and tiny 8 year old L5. Her leaps on floor are small and not super high off floor. I once saw a coach (not team coach) using therabands or resistance bands tied to the ankles to have this girl doing split jumps and leaps. Would that help my dd? Can that injure or harm her in any...

    WAG Leaps, leaps, leaps!

    It seems that gymmies either love them or hate them! My dd falls into the latter lol. She is very flexible, has all of her splits all of the way down, etc, but those leaps just won't come up. I'm fairly certain that she is getting decent sized deductions on her leaps at meets, her leaps...

    Coaches Switch leap with turns

Backhandspring: because of the spring floor : short and high not long anymore For layout coming from...
