We go All Access with Level 9 and 10’s from BIG Gymnastics in Burr Ridge, Illinois as they prep for the 2026 competition season. In this work, you get to see all four events with each having its own prep work for meet warm-ups and routine construction. Owner and Head Coach Kara Reid is easing her athletes into double salto passes on the floor with air mat tumbling while still keeping the bigger tumbling passes in the resi. She has a nice circuit complex they use to both train the skills and get the necessary conditioning done at the same time. On bars, Coach Mike Hauser has started to incorporate meet warm-ups into the bar plan as they begin doing overlapping combos and 1/2 routines. This bars rotation is very detailed and lots of great coaching info here. On beam Kara has a team related assignment which features a partner dismount stick assignment. Did Karl and James get it done???? Last on vault, Mike has lots of different vaults going on. They do a lot of pre-hab during vault and you can see some of that in the background.
