Once the gymnasts get to this position, what’s the next movement? Is this where the coaches tell them to “pull up their pants “ ? Looking at the picture, would the gymnast do a pull up motion on the bar ? This is so confusing .
My gymnast is still struggling

As the hips swing back under the bar, she should move the bar towards her hips while keeping her legs close to the bar. You can think of "sliding" the bar up the front of the legs, but it doesn't need to (and ideally shouldn't) actually be in contact with the legs, but should be pretty close. Arms should ideally remain as straight as possible, but that's not generally how it goes when they're first learning.

The "pull your pants up" cue is a pretty common way of describing this motion.
