    Women Inflatable Tumble Track

    Does anyone use an inflatable tumble track in their gym? I'm considering buying a used one, but have never used one or seen one in use. Do you like it more or less than a regular tumble track? What are the pros and cons? Thanks!

    Parents Perspective on Moving Out of Gymnastics To Tumbling Exhibition Team

    We've been on a rollercoaster the last six months. After competition season ended (level 5 for an 8 year old), we decided that her gym was too intense and switch to a different gym that has a 3 day/week practice schedule (and early release times) for kids working toward level 6. Well, at the...

    Best foot forward? Leading leg in tumbling

    My DD just moved to L5 in January, and the coaches are having her switch legs on the cartwheel on beam (she used to go left foot forward), which she was told is necessary for L5 and beyond. I'm not questioning them - I assume they know what's best, but I am kind of curious as to what difference...

    Leading leg while tumbling

    I'm clueless when it comes to gymnastics so I was wondering if it matters what leg a child uses to lead in gymnastics. More specifically my 5yo learned her roundoff, cartwheel, and backwalkover a year ago from watching her older sister who is an all star cheerleader. She leads in her cartwheel...

    Coaches Tumbling Technique on Sprung Floor vs Un-Sprung Mats

    I'm a first-year head coach getting ready to start the high school season. I assistant coached last year, and the girls seemed very receptive to my comments and made some amazing progress in a very short period of time (the head coach was pretty useless in terms of technique). In general, I'm...

    Set after a tumbling line?

    When you're in competition, are you supposed to set after you tumble? If it makes any difference, I'll be competing RO-BHS-BT and either FT-RO-BHS or RO-BHS-BHS. Thanks.

    Tips for faster tumbling

    Are there any tips for faster round-off back handspring back handsprings? The floor at my gym is stiff so its harder tumble on. My coaches say that my second back handspring is the same speed as the first so is there any tips to make it faster?

    USAG Trampoline and Tumbling routines changing?

    My coach told me the other day that the USAG T&T routines may be changing soon. I know they make changes but I thought the current routines ran through the end of 2012. She told me last time they changed them before the cycle was up. I am a bit concerned by this. Also I know they sometimes put...
