Coaches SWINGS HELP with gripping

[BeamPrincess]

I haven't had this problem before in all my years of coaching but currently my level 6 gymnasts predominately who haven't had to do swings for a year in their routine (in Australia) while they can swing powerfully they feel like they can't grip correctly and that they are going to fall off the bar. Hence they lose shape just trying to hold on to the bar.

The problem occurs as they have done their forward swing and they are returning to the back swing.

How can I re-educate them to go from forward to back with correct gripping of the bar.

All tips appreciated.

Thank you

Get up on a block and spot the back of the swing and push them up while hitting the shape you desire. Do this for a month or two.
