m belief is once you compete at a different level, you should continue competing in that level. but i often see girls compete with my daughter as a level 5, and not come in first place, and at sectionals they compete as a level 4, so at states they compete as a level 4 imho, i thinks that is...

this past weekend, a gymnast threw up on the runway on the vault..:ill: so i would say no.. do not compete, it was gross for the others, and i am sure the poor girl was so embarassed.. states.. is not the olympics, there are 2 seasons, and it is just another meet, there will be many more..

wow, a good question.. my daughter has been doing gymnastics since she was 3. we picked a gym that was close to home. she had a few friends that went to that gym from school, but was not on team, but ok.. last year, she was having a hard time with one of her coaches, and at 7 yrs old, begged me...

i just recently attended a meet, and watched a coach from a team taping an event of all the competitors and their scores. these gymnasts, including my own daughter does not go to their gym. is this allowed, i thought it was kind of strange.. thanks for your info:confused:

i was recently told by a parent of a level 4 gymnast, that there is a deduction for not using a arm circle for a vault. my daughter is a level 5 and doesnt use this before her vault. how true is this..

you are so right when it comes to scores. you never know what is a winner score, and as lonng as you see your gymnast creeping up their score every meet, that is an accomplishemnet.

i was a competive novice figure skater and now that my daughter is in gymnastics, i am loving the sport even more.. no more early am practices.. and i want to do a floor routine and beam routine with much grace, and different requierements.. skating and gymnastics are very similiar in some parts..

i have a son that plays baseball and basketball, it is no different keeping score in those sports as gymnastics. you work so hard , this is a reflection on how well you practice...we love to see our children suceed in sports, and have fun, but it is actually the child who is concerned if they...

awesome perspective, thanks for the advice. how could anyone possible be able to pay attention to others scores. there is so much going on..

i definately agree with you on just enjoying the moment. it is so great to see a new floor routine, and watch them jump to the high bars.. kips are cooler to watch then mill cirlcles and shoot throughs.. lol.:D

hi, my daughter is 8, and just competed her first level 5 meet. what a difference in the scoring from level 4 to level 5. so my advice is to make sure they are ready to move up, because as level 4 goes to 5, there is not alot of 9's.lol
