tumbling

I am getting mixed reviews from other team parents about whether power tumbling is worth it. My daughter is an 8 year old new level 3. She is doing fantastic considering that she has been in gymnastics less than a year. However, she is noticing, especially now that she has moved from pre-team to...

Is there such a thing as a proper way to land after a tumbling series on floor or beam? In dance, for leaps and jumps (or mostly everything), we lightly land on the balls of our feet and then roll down to the entire foot, if that makes sense. My daughter is flat footed and keeps complaining...

I had a regrettably brief discussion with Mike Lynch about this at a recent clinic, and I wanted to see what you all think. When transitioning into a backhandspring out of either a roundoff, a backhandspring, or a whip, what is the ideal landing position? What Mike was saying (and hopefully...

I would love to get some coach/parent opinions on this concept. My daughter got her new floor routine and despite tumbling being her strong suit, and dance being her nemesis, they choreographed her a level 9 routine with only 2 tumbling passes. Her coach told her 3 passes aren't necessary at 9...

About two months ago I started coaching full time, and (somehow) was appointed head coach of the gym's year-old power tumbling team (in addition to my position as a JO WAG coach). As of right now, I have a level 6 and 2 level 5s. I was an artistic gymnast my whole life, as well as a judge, so...

Random question- Do you like front or back tumbling better? Mine is front tumbling.

I am so annoyed! DD and I watched the women's tumbling live yesterday but it was really graining since I was only connected 3G. You could mostly see it. We were going to rematch it when it was finished and posted on YouTube and I had a better connection. Now that it is up and I can connect I...

I have problem with throwing my head back with things like double back. And I don't know where I am during twisting due to this. Sometimes when I go for 1 1/2 I pull a double or when I go for double I will triple. I'm trying to relearn the basics of floor since I'm starting to come back to the...

What are the levels for rhythmic gymnastics in the United States, and are there different divisions like beginner levels, compulsory levels, advanced levels, and elite? If so please let me know! I know in artistic there are levels 1-10 with developmental, compulsory, advanced, and elite...

I'm new to coach optionals. I have coached a group of girls between the last compulsory level and the first optional level. They'll all move up next season. I have one girl who has never learnt a proper RO BHS. She does it in her floor routine but the back handspring is HIGH. She has straight...

What are the levels in rhythmic gymnastics and trampoline & tumbling FOR THE US. I know in artistic there are 1-10 with developmental, compulsory, advanced, and elite divisions. Is it the same for rhythmic gymnastics and T&T? ---- IN THE US ---- Thank you!

My 10 year old daughter has been competing for 5 years now. She just finished her XCEL Silver season and is training for L5. In 2 years my daughter has grown 10 inches and has also gained weight (due to the growth spurt - she isn't considered "overweight" at all). She has been complaining lately...

Hi coaches! I coach a tumble & tramp class consisting of older athletes (10+) and am struggling with two of my athletes working on two different skills: The first athlete is oldest and working on a front tuck (for the time being, we are doing this at the end of the tumble track). She really...

My daughter has been trying to learn a side aerial for 6 months now. She is usually an excellent tumbler. She can do ROBHSBT and ROBHSBLO as well as a beautiful punch front, FHSO-FHS, and FHS-FT. She is starting to show some frustration but not to the point of giving up. I'm not trying to...

Hi Coaches.. my daughter started her back tumbling fear in level 6 with the ro bhs btuck. She can do it, but at times will have her mental block take over and will chicken out. Her front tumbling is great. Its fast and fearless. She completed level 6 and wanted to move to level 7, but her gym...

Beam tumbling series - Level 7 I have a quick question that I can't seem to find an answer for. It's nothing more than to satisfy a desire to learn :) For Level 7 beam, I saw a girl perform a handstand-split into a flip flop connected with a back tuck dismount. Is this supposed to be easier or...

So i never liked tumbling from the very beginning. I thought it involved wayyy too much energy, but i was willing to put up with it because i dreamed of being a college gymnast. Well, over the summer, we started doing all these drills for tumbling (we got a new coach) and i found out that i have...

There have been professional photographers at 2 of my DD's last three meets (one meet I managed to remain strong and keep my wallet closed, at the other I crumbled) and looking through the pictures, especially on floor, I see that she makes some really funny faces! Of course, I don't have any...

Hi All, Our oldest daughter moved last January from artistic gymnastics to Tumbling and trampoline, so I'm more familiar with artistic than tumbling. She is moving to Sub Advanced on most (all?) events this year in USTA. My question is with USAG and mobility. She wouldn't be able to just...
