    WAG Beam RO.

    My DD does a roundoff on beam for l7 she was telling me her HC says it's too short. She said she tries to fix it but doesn't know how. Any suggestions I can give her. Or should it lengthen as she gains more confidence. Will she receive an amplitude deduction?

    WAG Level 3 with Sudden Round-Off BHS Fear?

    Just a question for other coaches or parents of gymnasts with fear issues. I have a new level 3 (8 years old) with loads of potential. But suddenly she had developed a fear for her back-handspring: both standing and connected to a round-off. She was doing it all summer and early fall, and then...

    Parents Has anyone's dd done cartwheel/round off L7 beam instead of BHS?

    My dd, age 12, is having a huge mental block on BHS on high beam. It's ridiculous. So bad that the coach is thinking of having her compete 6 until this issue resolves. Her coach wants BHS on beam, states the judges don't like round off's instead of BHS. She has all her other level 7 skills, a...

    WAG Round off 2 back handsprings?

    So I have my RO Bhs perfectly. But I'm just really scared to go for a ro Bhs Bhs. I've done it before lots of times and then now I can't seem to be able to do it..I think part of it is that I think too much and scare myself. And i need this skill before the summer is over or else I won't move...

    Parents roundoff vs. barani direction question

    DS was chattering about stuff he's working on last night and mentioned that he rounds off and does his barani in opposite directions, I guess "because of the direction he twists." He says working baranis was weird for him at first because he had to learn to do right roundoffs on the trampoline...

    WAG Round off - forwards or backwards?

    Is a round off considered a forwards or backwards flight element? Thanks :)

    Parents Connecting RO & BHS

    My daughter, 7, just learned her standing BHS. She is on xcel bronze and it's not a skill that is focused on. If it's practiced I never see it. I am not at practice very often so I don't really know other than what my DD tells me. I asked DD's coach and she said it's because they would just be...

    WAG Is a round off a flight element?

    I'm not a strong back tumbler; is a roundoff a flight element on floor? (particularly for xcel gold)

    WAG Fear of sole circle, and RO BHS BT

    Hi there, I need some advice on helping a kid overcome fear. Firstly, she is scared of sole circle and will bail even with double spot. She does them in straps no problem, and the only other drill I have her work on is pike swings on the real bar. Her second fear is roundoff back handspring...

    WAG Fear of roundoff BHS

    I'm 16 and I've been doing roundoff back handsprings since the year I started gymnastics when I was about 10. It's a physically easy skill for me and I'm also capable of doing multiple back handsprings and back tucks and layouts. About 6 months ago I fell on my head during my BHS and after that...

    WAG Does USAG compulsory text and exemplar video lead Righties to Right-hurdle RO?

    The possibilities for my inquiry seem limited: (1) Round Off--R-RO or L-RO--(defined here by which knee is up in the hurdle); (2) Twists and turns-- R (clockwise), or L (counterclockwise). The ELITE Rightie gymnasts frequently perform L-RO, and L-twist, correct? I understand that is typically...

    WAG New Vault - Only Round-Off Backhandspring

    Looking through the Code The Pointage, I found some new interesting vaults I have never heard before! 1. Round-off, flic-flac on – repulsion off SV: 2.60P 2. Round-off, flic-flac with 1⁄2 turn (180°) on – Handspring fwd off...

    WAG Better to flip out of RO or RO BH?

    Do you think it's easier to flip out of Round-Off Back Handspring (Back Tuck, Layout, Twist) or just out the Round-Off?

    WAG chest up in round-off

    When I do a round-off, my blocking is really good. I took a video of myself doing a round-off from a hurdle, from a stand and from the knee. It looks really good and I compared the different phases (I stopped the video) to turorials by coaches on YouTube and they look totally identical until the...

    WAG Round-off on beam fear?

    I suddenly have a fear of doing round offs on beam (not dismount). I have been doing them on the floor beam, but can't find any motivation/bravery to do them on a low beam. I used to be able to do this skill on the low beam but I all of a sudden got a mental block. I believe that my round-off is...

    WAG Crossing one arm on round-off?

    I have a very bad habit of crossing my right arm over when I do round-offs. My right arm tends to cross over my left arm, leaving my round-off to be crooked. When ever I do this, I do not realize it. This happens to be an "on and off" again habit. Sometimes I cross my arm and some days I don't...

    Coaches Modifying roundoff technique for saltos

    Generally, when we first train roundoffs, the goal is to turn it over such that the center of mass is significantly behind the feet on the landing, to propel the gymnast backwards into a fast, low, powerful backhandspring. However, this technique must be modified when the gymnast is doing a...

    WAG Help me fix this roundoff backhandspring

    I can see that the problem starts with her hurdle. She lands her roundoff in a deep squat. She bends her legs and her arms in the back handspring. She undercuts. Basically everything is wrong with it. She is very flexible and has a gorgeous front and back walkover. This is a real problem...

    WAG how long did it take you to get from RO BH BT to RO BH Full?

    Hello! I have a question, or better said some of them... 1) How long did it take you/your child to get from round off, standing back handspring and standing back tuck to connecting all three on floor? 2) How long did it take you to get from RO BH BT to RO BH Back Layout? 3) How long did it...

    WAG Round-off on beam?

    I recently had my round-off on a high beam with matts stacked under it. They were pretty good, but one day as I went to do one I couldn't do it. I fell pretty bad, and now I'm kind of afraid to do it! I've been doing them on the low beam, but they are not as good. Whenever I try to do it on the...
