Is it possible for kids to get high enough scores with a fall?

 

[Kidllovesgym]

Kicks and holds are worth a total of 12 points. Add up all scores for each kick & hold, then divide by 3 for flex score

Yes depends on thenfall

fell on front tuck on floor

 

[alsmom]

I believe the fall is zero points for that element. She would get credit for what she did, but not for the skill she fell on...is that right?

 

[Fijiwater]

That's my understanding.

 

[gymnastca25]

how many points is a front tuck?

 

[Fijiwater]

The floor is worth 24 points. The front tuck is one element. Max 6 points

 

[Kidllovesgym]

I would like to hope you could make up for it in other areas but I am not experienced

 

[gotgym]

The front tuck is section 3 of the floor testing. If she fell she received a 0 for just that section.

Today was the last of our 3 tests.(2 in state ,1 out of state). Definitely the best test for my 9yr olds. All 3 tests had 16-18 kids. All 3 had 1 or 2 7yrolds testing.. Personally I was surprised at the caliber at the tests compared to previous year.

Personally I was surprised at the caliber at the tests compared to previous year.

Care to elaborate? In what ways??

 

[gotgym]

In 2 tests there were kids that were trying these skills and definitely not ready for them.. Im talking not just falling or missing a skill but, dangerously falling. To the point of the tester having to intervene

Sounds like the numbers testing are quite low this year.

Looks like 30-40 testers across all age groups here today.
