This focused gymnastics clinic helps athletes who already feel secure on the bar move from static holds to dynamic swinging and circling. Coaches teach the technique, strength, and timing behind two cornerstone skills, the pullover as the entry into front support and the back hip circle as a clean, controlled circling movement. Training includes progressive drills on low and high bars that emphasize the coordinated pull and push needed to travel over the bar into front support. Participants learn correct shapes, grips, and hip drive for a tight back hip circle, with attention to staying connected to the bar and managing rotation. Conditioning for grip, core, and foundational swing patterns builds the base for future bar work. Experienced coaches provide hands-on spotting and individualized feedback to address sticking points and build confidence on the high bar. Athletes should be prepared to focus on bar-specific strength and precise mechanics to lock in these fundamental skills. Prerequisites include independently holding a front support on the high bar and casting with hips off the bar. Cost is $25 per athlete.
