    Parents Tumbling Class issues

    I've been taking my daughter to the same gym for the past several months and it is the best program I have found in this area (and we have tried them all). After coaching for 17 years, my standards are probably a little higher than the average gym parent. I closed my gym a few years ago due to...

    Women Xcel Gold Floor Tumbling Requirements

    I'm in Xcel Gold and I was looking at the requirements for our floor routines. Our coach told us that it would be fine to have our first tumbling pass as a robhs and the second a front hs. The requirement says "1. 1 acro connection min two flight elements." Wouldn't that mean robhsbhs or robhs...

    Hello Everyone, As the new T&T coach at our gym, I am very unfamiliar with what meets we should be attending. Wondering if anyone on here is from the Wisconsin/Illinois area and would have some insight on where I should be looking to find meets. Any help is appreciated! THANKS! Coach Robyn :)

    Women Tumbling pass value

    front handspring, front pike, stag leap Value? It seems it'd be easier to do a leap at the end rather than stick the front pike. Is there connection bonus for doing a leap after the pike?

    Women Tumbling and muscles

    Okay so I went to the physio a couple of days ago for some pain in my lower leg and it had to do with a muscle being over worked and poor alignment. She also brought up an issue i never thought i had. My quads (only on one leg) are incredibly weak. Being one of the strongest tumblers in the gym...

    Level 9 Tumbling

    Is it beneficial for a level 9 to have a double back in her floor routine? Taking risk and reward into account.. Do the judges normally reward for having a difficult pass like a double back since it takes risk and there is a greater chance for a mistake.? Is it better to take a risk and do a...

    lvl 8 tumbling pass question

    My dd, who is a new lvl 8 is excited about her floor pass. I'm just wondering if it's a reasonable pass for lvl 8 or if she is trying to put too much in to one pass. She wants a front tuck step out, robh half with a punch front. She is the only one on her lvl attempting this. I'm very proud...

    T&T DD was first alternate for Easterns for tumbling

    and last night we found out she made it! And we had about 30 minutes to decide if she could go or not. AND when the coach called me, she had ALREADY TOLD dd that she made it, and they just needed my permission. Over $1200 for just her to go, not including spending money or lunches and...

    Tumbling with out-turned feet?

    I have really bony feet and it hurts when I tumble with my feet together because the little bones whack into each other. I was in Rec when I started gym at 12, and as I started to tumble more I began tumbling with my feet turned out (heels generally together, toes apart) because this eased the...

    How much tumbling do you do each practice?

    I'm just curious as to how much time is spent on just tumbling at each practice. My daughter has been struggling with fear of doing a round off back handspring back tuck for a couple of years now. It gets better, but then comes back again. Right now she is in one of her scared phases. If she...

    Idle curiosity about training boys' vs. girls' tumbling

    As the parent of one of each, I've noticed how differently coaches at our gym train tumbling. My DD, now a L6, did not learn a standing BHS except incidentally until she was getting ready for L6 floor if I am remembering right. Certainly not on preteam (which is about L4 for us) and not while...
