Another good drill from friend Arun Kumar Jayan (Colin Zand).
I really like the emphasis on the release point.

I have been working with a few different gymnasts on In Bar Stalder. Thanks to Tammy Biggs I was able to fill in the missing link drill.
I will be teaching a USAG W200 Course at Metro South Gymnastics Academy in Canton, MA
Register through USA-Gymnastics
This is a live, six-hour, hands-on training course designed for school age, pre-team and Level 1-4 coaches. This is a NEW course developed for pre team, level 1-4 coaches and even school age recreational coaches. Course topics include warm ups, conditioning, lesson planning, hands on spotting and lecture for all Olympic events. This is a great hands on experience of drills and skill progression with instructors demonstrating practical examples of coaching level 1-4 gymnastics.
The W200 Development Coaches Course: HOTD has been developed to:
Enhance the status of beginning level competitive gymnastics programs throughout the United States.
Establish certificate program requirements which will help identify competent pre-team and competitive (Level 1-4) gymnastics coaches.
Provide appropriate skills, drills and techniques for entry level competitive coaches.
Help standardize pre-team and entry level competitive gymnastics teaching throughout the United States.
Provide resources, instructional materials, and assistance at levels 1-4 coaching
Provides Hands on Spotting on all four Olympic Events.
U200 Development Coaches Course: Sports Science (online) is a companion to W200: Development Coaches Course: Hands on Training (HOTD). It is highly recommended that you complete U200 prior to W200. However, it is not a requirement to take U200 first. U200 covers the sports science aspects of coaching this level athlete including nutrition, biomechanics, injury prevention and psychology.
Attendance to the W200 course is eligible for 6 hours of CPE credit.

Pretty sweet Bar Routine.
Al Fong put this up.
Consistently one of the biggest deductions on Uneven Bars is BENT ARMS. I hear coaches encourage, threaten, bribe, beg and cry to get their gymnasts arms straight. (OK- maybe not cry).
Gymnasts need to learn straight arms through series of drills and exercises on the floor and on floor bars. If they cannot keep their arms straight on that, they certainly cannot keep their arms straight as they move around the bar.
Here are some drills that we do daily to work straight arms.
Some very good drills for Straddle Cast Handstands [Read more…]
