    WAG front tuck, round off backhand spring, and long hang pullover drills

    I’m very close to to my front tuck and I’m landing them in a squat inconsistently onto a mat ground level in the pit, but what are some good drills I can set up, preferably on rod or normal floor, I don’t like doing it on tramp because I over rotate and so I don’t punch as hard and then when I...

    WAG Roundoff Dismount (9.103)

    DD, an Xcel Gold, was wondering if doing the roundoff dismount on beam with one hand would count. When she uses both hands, it is sloppy and she can’t stick it. When she only uses one hand for support, it is smoother and she can usually stick the landing. We looked through the code of points and...

    WAG Setting in round off backtuck???

    I had my round off BHS back tuck for a few practices but then I lost it and could only do my round off back tuck. Now, recently I can’t even seem to do my round off back tuck. My coach says I am not setting and when I am, I am doing so with my feet behind me. Any tips? Why am I losing all my...

    Anon Cartwheel Round-off in L8?

    I’m currently getting my skills for L8. I am working on BHS connections on beam, but idk if they will be ready by my first meet in November. I was wondering if you could compete a cartwheel roundoff, a single back handspring for another B, a full turn, and a switch leap split jump. For my...

    WAG Round Off: Handstand?

    One of my friends helping me with round off says, its like 3 steps, 1) first going into a cartwheel phase 2) in the middle, you go into the "Handstand" 3) finally, snap your feet down into a hollow Is the middle step correct? Do you enter a true handstand in the round off?

    WAG Round Off - Landing into Hollow Body position

    What starts the Hollow body position during landing in the Round Off? My coach told me to "snap your toes down"? Is that true? (a) Do I snap my toes down, and let the legs initiate the hollow position? (b) or does it come from back muscles? (c) Last she said sometimes, it easier to get into a...

    WAG Are our roundoff back handspring entries being scored?

    As a gymnast I actually have no idea; as A skills, do they count toward the number of A skills. Because once you start to optionals you start counting your A skills and B skills, etc, so do they count? And are they scored and deducted? Curious and hoping I have enough A skills!

    Anon RO BHS help

    So back in September, my coach removed my bhs and made me do a ro bt because it would get less deductions. Well I was supposed to also do a front tuck but that also gets “too many deductions”. So I had to compete a ro bhs after not working on them for 4 months. I ask my coach how I can fix my ro...

    WAG Round off, hollow body position?

    This sort of touches on my last question. I am trying to work on the round off. During the gymnastics round off, (a) should a person get into a "hollow body position", which includes sucking in/squeezing the abs and squeezing the glutes? (b) if so, when should an athlete start the hollow body...

    WAG Round Off, Should I flick the wrist?

    During the gymnastics round off, should a person "flick the wrist" like they are kind of doing a basketball shot? This is also done with the "shoulder shrug pop" to get a lift from the ground. One of my coaches told me to flick wrist, just curious if this is standard practice? Everyone has...

    WAG Round-off

Anyway, my round off needs some work. So what happens is my feet don't go together until they land. Its like I am...

    WAG Help connecting round off to a bhs

    Hi guys! Currently I am working on my round off back handspring. It has been a few years since I’ve practiced, yet I am still having the same issue. My round off is powerful, but when it comes to connecting it to a back handspring it goes down hill. My coach is telling me that I need to feel...

    Coaches Yurchenko round off mat recommendation

    Hello. Our gym does not have a mat for Optionals to practice Yurchenko entry drills. They have an old panel mat to use for the round off. I am wondering what round off mat you would recommend. I have found Norberts, Gymnova (quote only, I can't tell the price) Mancino mats, and one at Ten-O. Is...
