    WAG Xcel silver floor - running entry into aerial?

    For Xcel silver floor, it seems like an aerial can be used to satisfy the flight skill pass. I am wondering whether it matters how the gymnast enters into the aerial. For example, does it matter if they have a running start, a short hurdle, or do a standing aerial? Does the entry into the aerial...

    WAG Running, weights, and age

    My dd is 7.5 and level 4. She is small and light, but very flexible. She also has great upper body strength but struggles with the power for vault and tumbling. She has been asking to run and to use weights to strengthen her legs at home. I have tried looking up information but it’s so confusing...

    WAG Running + Tumbling = Fear?

    I'm starting to suspect DD (Xcel Silver) has a fear, or hesitancy, of running before tumbling. Not just on floor, but she has a relatively slow vault run as well - and vault is really running + tumbling, right? I know she's a fast runner outside of gym. She's had a backwards tumbling fear...

    WAG Vault running drills (studder step)

    My daughter is a level 7 (1st season) age 11. She has been doing her Yurchenko for a couple of seasons, but just recently (her coach thinks since her block) has started studder stepping. Surprisingly, she can still get some height off the Vault, but is landing almost with her feet under the...

    Parents Running out of time

    My daughter will be a junior this year. She’s competed 2 years at level 9 (both wonky because of Covid). She has desires of doing college gymnastics and realizes it will be D3, if at all. My question is, do you think it would be better for her to compete level 10 this year or do another year...

    Coaches Running Development

    Hey guys, Has anyone seen the new instagram post of nickruddock? We don't have any nice coaching courses where I come from, just the coaches of the more serious clubs go those classes on the other side of the country. My knowledge is mostly based of stuff other coaches told me, instagram...

    WAG Nice vault run video?

    Puma Jr has improved her awkward vault run quite a bit, but it still has a long way to go! One of her coaches suggested getting her a running coach, and I have tons of video of my kid obviously, but does anyone have any video or a really nice vault run so the running coach can see what it’s...

    WAG Is Kerry Perry Doing A Good Job Running USA Gymnastics?

    MAG How are your regionals run?

    I checked the region 3 website today and discovered that next year (2019) they are going to break up the optional gymnasts and the compulsory gymnasts into two separate competitions, on different weekends in different places. Also it gave the breakdown by percent of who would qualify for...

    Parents Help! Bad Vault Run!

    My 6 year old L2 DD is having trouble with her vault, and from her coach's feedback it seems to have a lot to do with her run, but he didn't give me many suggestions on how to correct it. She doesn't seem to be running flat footed, but she takes super short little strides and has very little...

    Coaches How to Teach Kids to Run and Jump Properly?

    How do you teach your gymnast to run and jump using their toes/pushing through their ankles and toes? I have one particularly bad case, but a handful of team girls, that for the life of them, cannot run on their toes or jump pushing through their toes. This obviously causes major problems with...

    Site running slow for you?

    The CB seems to be running super slow today for me, anyone else?

    WAG Vault run

    How do you run faster for vault? My coach says i need to run faster and i do run faster than before, but it isn't quick enough yet. Also, would counting steps help with increasing speed in the vault run?

    WAG Sore/shin splits after Mile Run...at school PE

    Looking to see if anyone is dealing with this-- my gymmie is rarely sore after practice- even a hard fought conditioning session. But she completed a timed mile run on Monday and thighs, shins, calves have been aching....normal...any other gymmies with same issues?

    WAG Resistance Running, shoulder vs. waist harness

    Whats better, shoulder harness or waist harness? I know it changes the center of gravity and the muscles used, but i also know it can stress the back.... What do you use?

    Parents How fast can your kid run a mile?

    My girl is doing this as part of her weekly strength test. She is very proud of her progress. I think she is probably about average for a not quite 8 year old. Have no idea what is good anyway. Do any of your kids do this and if so, what is considered decent?

    WAG running Lay vs. FH FT - what is easier?

    I was wondering about a front tumbling passes recently. What is easier, FH FT/FP or running Front Layout? Why is a single running Lay a B and a FH FP an A? I don't mean just chucking them, because I have seen horribly FH FT with totally bent knees, but doing it really beautiful and clean!

    WAG Correcting toe out running and tumbling

    Pea has always run toe out, walks perfectly straight but as soon as she runs her toes point out. She's been good up until this point to keep her toes pointed and straight. But I happened to get to pick up a bit early last week and was watching her do layouts. My point of view was from behind...
