Thank you for your responses. Not sure why, but they have stopped on that skill.

My daughter is a level 9 who was out with an injury for over 3 months. She recently began practicing again and has competed one time. When she competed she did not do her overshoot as she is having fear issues right now. She did a pirouette and took the deduction for only having one bar change...

My daughters gym just brought in liquid chalk and does not want the girls to use regular chalk anymore. One of the team girls likes it but the rest do not. My daughter (and others) said that she flew off of the bar while using it. My daughter is working on level 9 and 10 skills and has been...

Does anyone know how you have to place at regionals to advance on to level 9 eastern nationals? I think it is top six all around but do top event girls go as well?

Hello Everyone, My daughter is a level 9 gymnasts who has suddenly gotten a fear of doing her roundoff full beam dismount. Would a front layout dismount get her a 10.00 SV as long as she has everything else she needs including her bonus combinations? Or would that also have to twist? Thank you

I often hear you need so many As, so many Bs, so many Cs etc. Could someone please tell me what some of those skills are? My daughter is a level 9 and is having a couple of fears right now, so I am wondering what some skills could be replaced with. Thank you.
