    At home training?

    I know training outside of the gym is Generally frowned upon because of risk of injuries and creating bad habits. That being said, I feel as if being able to work more often will really help me out. Outside me house there are little wooden curbs (like floor beam size) metal bars and lots of...

    Coaches Training under other Coaches at other gyms.

    Is it offensive to ask certain gyms if you could come and train under their coaches (Optional) My owner doesn't send us to a lot "Any" training clinics. I've done great so far getting knowledge and learning on my own. But their is still lots to learn. Is it tacky to ask? I know the decision...

    Coaches Why training 3 consecutive days and taking 4 off will not work!!!

    I run a gymnastic program through a YMCA. We are a very small program. I only have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We share the gym with a cheerleading program. They are wanting to change days so we can only have practices on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Can someone please give...

    T&T Cross training: artistic and T&T

    A couple years ago I was asked to transition over to our T&T program from artistic. I ultimately decided not to, but I go to open gym and play around on tramp & have very solid basics (hardest skill on tramp would be back tuck; however I'm capable of doing more if I put more time into it). I...

    Coaches How do you handle training a superstar fairly?

    When you have someone you know has incredible talent, how do you give them the attention they need to thrive while balancing the fact that all children deserve equal time in their training? Knowing parents and kids will feel slighted if you give one more attention than the others, and knowing...

    Training at two gyms? Right or wrong?

    Hi, I'm considering continuing practice (3 days a week) at my current gym lets call this gym A. And I want to add another day or two to my practices.. at gym B.

    Women Training hours

    I know i've been posting a lot lately but I have one more thing to ask. With my other posts I have had many people tell me that it seems like dd practices too much and comments on burnout. What would be the average amount of hours a level 10 would train? I'm sorry if it's a bad question but dd...

    Parents Missing school for training

    My daughter is 7 1/2 yearss old, she has been doing gymnastics since she was five and was asked to join the competitive team 2 years ago. Her coach really wants her to join her national stream group next fall, which would require missing 2 afternoons a week of school. Her coach thinks she had...

    Women Training strategy of coaches

    The "preferred hand placement" thread made me think of this post. In my limited experience, I've noticed that there are coaches who go with the natural ability of a gymnast and/or I guess coaches that allow more "individuality" so to speak. And there are coaches that are very strict with how...

    Women What level does gymnast compete and what skills are they training?

    Hi, I was wondering a little about different gyms' approach to competing vs. training. What level does your gymmie compete and what skills are they training in the gym? Do you like this approach or do you wish it was done differently? If so, how would you like to see it and why? Thanks!

    Women Tips for at-home training to get drop kip?

    A little background. My dd is not one of those that is especially strong upperbody or core, but is probably average. She can do pullups and the other conditioning required for her level 5 team (rope climp included, but not a press to handstand yet). In order for my dd to advance in her group...

    Coaches Training schedule

    We are almost midway through our competitive season and I'm wondering what you're doing in practice. We're still trying to get in high numbers of hit routines. They're only hitting maybe 1 or 2 out of 3 and I feel that should be higher or is it ok for now and that will come later? Also, when do...
