    Parents training group for level 3 repeats?

    We are at a gym with a very small team program -8 level 3s this year. Fewer in levels 4 and 5. We just learned that our entire level 3 group will stay together as a training group for next season but some will compete 4 and some will repeat 3. There will also be a new group of 3s (coming from...

    Women Training times and break times - a survey

    I stink at coming up with titles, lol. I wanted to start this new thread off of the nutrition thread below. It seems like all our gymnasts have different lengths of trying and the break times vary also. This is kind of a survey for my own curiosity and to see what differences are out there...

    Women Secret Classic podium training

    Is anyone else watching the podium training live feed? I saw that Simone has a punch barani on beam now! I'm having a little bit of a hard time IDing most of the gymnasts but I'm pretty sure I saw Aly on vault and her DTY didn't look as clean as I expected. Any other observations?

    Women Hours a week for training

    Our gym only offers our girls (level 2-6) 4 hours in the gym a week. I personally think this is absurd, they are not getting the training they need. We have to pay for privates to get more time in the gym. What are the average gym hours per week for your gyms? Thanks so much!

    Women Motivation issues in DD training L8

    Hello- new here but hoping for someone with experience or advice. My DD is training L8. She excels at floor and vault. However, bars and beam are more of a challenge. Her coach says she is not being aggressive to get enough repetitions in during the week (hangs out at the chalk bucket a little...

    Men Best training supports

    Best wrist, knee and ankle supports? My high velocity growth kid is not injured and would like to stay that way. He does seem to need wrist / ankle support and we need to make sure he can get through without Osgood Schlatter as he had the 9-year-old's equivalent last year.

    The last time I coached, we were still using the horse. I've got some kids training Level 4 now and I would like some help with introducing the handspring vault. They have the run and the hurdle (mostly) down well. I'm having trouble getting them to block off the table. They are jumping...

    Parents what sort of strength/skills are expected for a TOPS training group?

    I am considering looking for a gym where my DD could train tops (or the like) in a more intense program. Our gym doesn't offer a lot of hours for each level. What sort of skills/strengths would be expected of a 7.5 year old to enter a program where they train for TOPS testing?

    Coaches Individualized training

    I've had compulsory groups for the past 4 years and for the most part they've all had to do the exact same thing at practice. Now they are getting a little older (9-12) and beginning optionals. I'd like to find a way to allow them to work on what they need to work on most, without having to...

    Women Level 6/7 training question

    If you had a group of girls who were training for "6/7," but no time was being spent on giants or even flyaways, would you think that they're being steered only to L6? They have been uptraining since Jan. and won't compete until Jan. 2016. They have only done giants on strap bar and only one...
