gymnastics – do NOT rip on bars

Three weeks into the new season, at my gym we’ve been pretty successful at NOT ripping on bars.

Drills including pirouettes on floor bar, safety strap bar and mini-tramp under the low bar all help the kids avoid rips.

I just hope we can keep it up.

Ripping the hands is a significant setback for most gymnasts.
