Dr. Dave Tilley reports on monitoring for peak height velocity in his Gym.
Dave’s been tracking 3 numbers for each of the growing kids:

At MINIMUM your gymnasts age 10-17 should have a place in the Gym where they pencil in their standing height on some regular basis. They should know when they are growing. There are implications for training load.
If you want to research this topic, get Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science, Gymnastics. (2013).
Here’s the Google Books preview.

I like all drills for beginners that encourage hip extension. This one in particular because it works in conjunction with the shoulder hyper flexion.

Each year, we host this incredible event not only for the gymnasts to show off their talent, but to give back to the community as well. Each team competes on behalf of a charity and by the end of the weekend, over $15,000 in cash prizes will be awarded to various charities.
Charity Choice Invitational is an official invitational of the Nastia Liukin Cup Series. Evanni Roberson from Emerald City Gymnastics Academy earned a spot to compete with her 38.25 All-Around at the Nastia Liukin Cup held the weekend of March 4-5, 2016 in Newark, NJ!

I’m disappointed in the Trinidad and Tobago Gymnastics Federation for over-reacting to a photo supposedly of its 2015 Sportswoman of the Year nominee, Marisa Dick.
New topless photo rocks gymnastics; Marisa and Thema sent to disciplinary committee
They should have downplayed the issue. It’s no big deal. Both gymnasts should be focused on training. Not getting distracted by media sensationalism. 😦
