compete

This question is not for me, but got me thinking because a friend asked me advice in regards to her DD. My DD is very, very happy at our gym with her level, her coaches, everything etc. I'm just wondering if I gave good advice. So her DD competed one level in the fall and she wanted to compete...

My dd would normally be a level 4 next year from what I've gathered BUT I've been hearing about how there are going to be changes next year and level 4 would then be level 3? My gym only competes levels 4-10. But I was thinking, what if any of the level 4s need to repeat wouldn't that mean they...

Compete Level 4 as young 7 year old (next year) or keep training for Level 5 (skipping learning mill circle and any other nonrelated Level 4 skills) and compete Level 5 probably at just turned 8. Alot of uptraining lost learning Level 4 routine and competing Level 4. But get the Experience and...

I tend to think stuff like: "Ok nice, now go, um ok keep going, good hollow, almost done" ect. My mind sort of goes blank on floor...

Hi! So here's a little overview: when I was younger I did gymnastics and then switched to TNT. Since then, I quit and now I'm back in normal high school gymnastics. I take private lessons and classes weekly and I have level 10 skills on beam, vault, and floor. the only problem is that I have...

I'm 12 soon gonna be 13 and am about to start gymnastics is it to late cause i would love to compete big and possibly be like nastia or shawn .

I have a competition tomorrow and I have a cold/cough/sore throat etc. I feel tired and weak (and not very good in general). I really want to compete but I don't know if I should? Do you compete when you have a cold/flu?

I am putting this here because I didn't want it up in any of the main threads. I am meeting with the coaches this afternoon to hear their take on the matter, but here is the basic scenario: DD went to warm up at Gymnix. They do the whole warm up in a different gym, then go out and compete in...

I have seen it on here before- tried to search for it both on Google and on the CB with no luck. The reason I am interested is DH and I were having a conversation about this yesterday- he was surprised how few level 10s there are across the nation. I quoted a number-but it was an estimate- but...

My daughter is 9 and competed level 4 USAG this year. This was her first introduction to competitive gymnastics and she loved it. Her gym didn't participate in many meets - only two - and they didn't bring the girls to sectionals or states even though they all would have qualified for...

My dd is competing L5 this year. She is doing well except she has a block on cartwheel on beam. She has done it some but not often. Her coaches are talking about not letting her compete her next meet. I am not sure how i feel about this. My dd wants to compete. I am just not sure how i...

Hi again! I have a quick question. DD switched gyms last month, to a group of girls who all just competed L3 in fall. DD's former gym did not compete their 3's, so she has never competed anything, ever. The entire group of girls is competing in one final L3 meet in a few months. It is a big...

Hi My 6.5 yr old daughter has two options with gymnastics right now. I would really appreciate some feedback. One gym would have her at level 3 (learning level 4 routine) preteam. Gym seems a little more serious, but she liked it. It is a pretty new gym/new group of girls for her. 6-7...

I have 2 DD's in gym, ages 6 and 9. DD9 competed Level 4 last year and is going to start the season as a Level 5. DD6 competed as a Level 3 last year. Her coach says she is close enough on her kip that by December when competition season starts she'll have it. He is planning on having her...

DD is scheduled to compete next month. It'll be her first competition this year and she's really looking forward to it. I on the other hand am chewing my nails because she hasn't actually started learning her routines yet. This is kind of standard practise at her gym. They focus more on...

PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND! My 9 year old daughter competed Level 4 for two seasons, from September to April. During this time, she doesn't "remember" training to do the kip. I am sure she performed basic drills to prepare for it, but she never tried doing it on the bars. So in the last 3...

Hello All, I guess I fall into that catagory of 'over the hill'... I am almost 43, and still trying to get in good enough shape to compete just ONE MORE TIME. My wife reminds me I am crazy, and this week I am nursing a strained lower back... yeee ouch! I am working out at a university gym...

I guess this would fit in the Adult Gymnastics thread but I figured I'd post here that way if someone else knows the answer they can answer. :D Question: Can 18 year olds (Or over, I mean I turn 18 in August, so I'll just be 18) compete AAU? Is that possible? I've heard some of the other...

I have this burning question that has been bugging me for a while. I see USAG has a min. age limit to compete at least starting at level 4 anyways, does AAU have one as well? Specifically for level 2? We compete starting at level 2 and I have coached kids that starting competing it as young...

we are back from vegas, and my ds's first gymnastics meet ever. He was very nervous, but he said he had lots of fun. If you remember, last Tuesday night at practice, he injured his foot and ended up at urgent care getting xrays. Turns out it wasn't broken, but he had pulled a tendon, and it hurt...
