If a gymnast has competed level 5 already, then went on to compete a few meets at 6, can they compete level 5 this season?
I saw where one girl is doing this and I didn’t think it was allowed???
Wondering if you and the OP are discussing a girl that you really know or someone you've just seen at a meet or somewhere. I don't mean to sound rude but if it's someone that you don't know, there can be SO many reasons that this could happen.I don’t get it either, but I have seen it happen
I completely understand that and respect it. And for those who have fears and blocks or injuries I get it also. But when this is not the case, and the girl is healthy and fine, no outside factors like moving to new gym, divorce, injury, bullying, etc, yes it can be a bit of a head scratcher. And having conversed with the OP before on things, I am pretty sure she wouldn’t be criticizing anyone (nor am I), it’s just puzzling. But of course, everyone has their own reasons why they do what they do.Wondering if you and the OP are discussing a girl that you really know or someone you've just seen at a meet or somewhere.

There may be people out there that said the same thing about my dd. She missed 4 months of practice over a period of 13 months because of injuries. Not everyone knows this or understands what it did to her confidence.
I realize that sandbagging happens but there are definitely cases where it it completely justified.
6 not being mandatory doesn’t actually have anything to do with it being OK to drop back if that’s what you’re trying to say.The why doesn’t matter to anyone but the gymnast.
Yes it’s allowed. Level 6 is not a mandatory level.
It’s 4,5 and 7. So as long as they haven’t done 7, 5 or 6 doesn’t matter. It’s a gym/gymnast decision.
Which has nothing to do with moving between 5 and 6.,And even though it’s not mandatory, if you do decide to compete it then there is a minimum mobility score to move to 7. (Just a fun fact.)
5 | Reached 7th birthday | 34.00 AA at Level 4 | Level 5 or 6* | 32.00 AA at Level 5 or old level 4. Mobility back and forth between Levels 5 & 6 is allowed |
6 | Reached 7th birthday | 32.00 AA at Level 5 | Level 6 or 7* | 32.00 AA at Level 6 Level 6 may be skipped if a 32.00 AA was achieved at Level 5 |
7 | Reached 7th birthday | 32.00 AA at Level 5 or 6 | Level 7 or 8* | 32.00 AA at Level 7 Ind. Event Specialist: 8.5 per event |
8 | Reached 8th birthday | 32.00 AA at Level 7 |
Yes, they can move back if they have done 7 as long as it’s before the declaration date.Which has nothing to do with moving between 5 and 6.,
If they have done 7 they can’t just move back. If they have not met score out they can’t go to 7. Again nothing to do with 5/6 mobility
There’s no mobility score from 6 to 7; you can score a 32.00 AA in level 5 or 6 to compete 7.6 not being mandatory doesn’t actually have anything to do with it being OK to drop back if that’s what you’re trying to say.
And even though it’s not mandatory, if you do decide to compete it then there is a minimum mobility score to move to 7. (Just a fun fact.)
You can skip 6 but if you choose to compete it you do need a 32 to move up.
My sources are just talk online so I believe I could definitely be wrong!No that's not true.
