Younger DD is soooooooo very close to her mill circle and her front hip circle. She did the mill circle today...once...in a private lesson with the head coach. But, the problem is, the coach had to tell her she was spotting her with one finger. (DD is scared of this skill). So, DD does not think she can really do it on her own. If anyone has some mill circle fairies, please send them this way. She is soooo close!:):) But she definitely needs some help and encouragement, she is banging up her poor little hip bones from hitting the bar so much (she is finally doing most of the work on these skills and actually getting bruises like my older DD did!)

State meet is in 2 weeks, it would be so nice for her to be able to do one more bar skill before the season is over. But I have hope that she is going to have the whole routine by next season finally!:D
 
Augh that mill circle. My daughter didn't actually struggle with that, but that dang shoot through to get to the mill circle is really hard when they've got long legs and poor coordination. I can proudly say she never once compete a L4 meet without scraping her foot on the bar on the way through! That's consistency for ya :)

I think every gymnast on earth gladly kisses that routine goodbye thinking... Why did we do half those skills again?

Sending her fairies and an awesome bar routine at States! (Please send them back when you can as a clear hip past vertical is needed here)

Thank you, I will shoo them back your way after States! :) It's funny, the shoot thru is the FIRST thing she learned in the L4 routine. For my older DD, it was always the shoout thru that gave her problems in L4. She would fall on it in warmups at meets EVERY SINGLE TIME.
 
Update on the evil mill circle:
She did three of them at a private lesson last Friday...then they disappeared but magically flew back in today. She did 5 or 6 of them at regular practice!!!!! Woo hoo. I will keep the fairies for a little bit, if you don't mind. I am not sure they have worked enough magic yet. ;)
 
Sending tons of GOOD LUCK! Hopes she gets it in time for her big state meet!
