compete

Is it wierd for my gym to compete at level 5? I am a level 3, almost a level 4, and I want to compete as soon as I can. What level does your gym start competing? What is the average level for someone to start competing? Thanks!:)

My dd has been sick with a bad chest cold for more than a week. As a result she is truly exhausted. She missed two practices ago, only made it though half the last, and I'm not sure she will be able to practice tomorrow. The next day is state comp L4. Any advice on whether or not to compete...

Lots of people have been asking about how old their dd has to be to compete various levels and does their age on the day of the meet count or their age on the day of the state meet count for this. So I thought I would copy across the info from USAG to make things clear. There are minimum ages...

This is a thread similar to Level 5 Bar Deduction Question in Technical Talk. The general issue of the thread was gathering opinions as to compete as a Level 5 knowing a gymnast could not successfully complete kips or not, and what would be the deductions. I also am facing this question with a...

So we got a schedule for 3 meets in the spring. DD will be 6 so she's eligible to compete finally. The first meet is in Cancun and we won't go to that one. It's way too much money to spend for a first meet at Level 4. The other two are more reasonable. Both are really big invites. I...

As it is only August and our first meet isn't until November, I am deciding with the coaches help as to when each daughter should begin the season. Oldest-has her level 4 beam routine down, vault is looking much better, she has bars(little weak on front hip but can do it, but is struggling with...

Hey there, this is my first, and I think this is where this topic would belong, but forgive me if it's not. :) So I've been doing male artistic gymnastics for about 2 years now (I'm 13 years old), and now I have the option to compete. But here's the thing... well, things. Number one is that...

This is 2 questions really. British Grade 13 beam set dismount is a round off from the beam (hands on beam, feet to floor). As I understand, a round off should finish off balance leaning backwards, to accellerate into the next movement. On floor for the same grade the round off goes straight...

Hi I am a gymastics fan from Connecticut. My daughter was training to compete at level 4, but didn't want to do it anymore because "it wasn't fun anymore and I get tired of working on the same stuff over and over." She wants to train but not compete and it seems like if you do not compete you...

Thanks to all who gave advice on my daughter suddenly not wanting to compete. She opted not to compete after we talked it over with coaches and gave her several options. She did stay with the team on the competition floor. Thirteen is starting out difficult year as I have heard it can be...

My daughter, who just turned 13, is going through this phase (I hope) where she doesn't want to compete. Earlier in the year she didn't want to go to practice. Now she seems ok with that and chose to sign up for a couple meets. However, the last meet and now one coming up this weekend she...

hi so i have my first trampolining meet of 1010 on jan 9th(i think) and i have the option of performing 2 different routines one of which i have been practicing for about six months and can do almost perfectly the other higher level one ive only started doing last week.Also if i do the lower...

Does anyone have an opinion on whether it is better to repeat a level for another year if not ready for the next level? My daughter made a quick jump going from level 4 to 7 in one year. She has competed 2 1/2 years at level 7 but isn't quite ready for 8. (She is having trouble with giants...

Hi, so I started gymnastics last month. I am progressing extremely fast. I am as good as the other girls in my class who have been there for atleast one year. I was in gymnastics from age 3-7 and I somehow kept my flexibility and a lot of skills. I know that I'll have the necessary skills to be...

when people say they choose not to compete, why not? Just out of curiosity.

Just wondering if any of you have been in this situation. I have a 5 y/o that is on level 3 now. She loves gymnastics, is excited to wear her new competition leo, but states she doesn't want to compete, but then later she'll say okay she'll compete later on. I don't want to push her if she is...

What's the youngest L 4 you have seen compete and done well? What is the age you feel is the youngest one can compete?

What is the minimum age to compete in power tumbling level 4? Do you have to be 6 like girls' artistic?

How long do you have to be at a gym before you can compete for them? And is that for competing all together or can you compete for them just not count for their team score until whatever it is?

Hi everyone i'm sure someone has come across this before my daughter is sick!!!! she has quite a high fever since yesterday she is suppose to compete tomorrow morning at 8 am i have been drugging her to death with tylenol and advil trying desperatly to get her ok to go ...... now for the...
