Well, she's not supposed to "stop herself " with her toes. She is supposed to glide swing out and swing back, then stop at a stand. This isn't done by using the toes to stop herself, but by deliberately stopping her body from swinging and having a controlled stop on her feet. Then she does a standing back pullover, like in Levels 1 and 2. Hopping or jumping up to pull over, or bending the knees is a deduction. So it is a "dead hang" pullover, so to speak. But, she should be able to reach the bar without being on her toes or stretching so high over her head that she can barely grip the bar. The low bar can be adjusted, and mounting mats can be used to start her closer. BUT, with the glide, they cannot glide off a mounting mat and land back on it, that is also a deduction as its considered the same as using a springboard. It would have to be a mat that stays put, like an 8-incher.My daughter can barely stop herself with the tips of her toes after her glide swing and then has to do a dead hang pullover. At meets will they adjust the height of the bar?

I understand this is not what she is supposed to do but she literally cannot stand and reach the bar.
