    Parents typical 7.5 year old attitude?

    Coaches How to teach HOLLOW to 5 and 6 yr old

    Hello fellow coaches A few of my talented pre teamers (5 and 6) just don't get "hollow" in handstand. We do TONS of body shaping drills and some girls are AWESOME at it. Others, not so much. Not sure if they are not getting what I am saying or if they cannot get their body to that position...

    Getting 6 Year old to FOCUS

    I coach a very potentially talented 6 year old. She has only been in pre-team since July 2009. She is very strong, tight, lacks a bit in the flexibility area, but all around, a good gymnast. My big issue with her is that she rushes, through EVERYTHING. I have tried so many things...talking to...
