level

My daughters beam mount just got downgraded from a D to a C... In the grand scheme of things, how does that effect her start value for beam?

Hi! Question: Would roundoff - arabian stepout - front handspring be an acceptable pass for level 7 front tumbling? Or does it have to be two connected front elements (like fhs - front tuck)? Thanks! :)

Hi we had our first comp today. Much fun was had. Lots of kids were LT, our comp was L2. The ones that passed do they now compete at a L3?

Hello! We attend a fairly strict gym, and we love how safe they are, low injury rate etc... but my almost 11 year old daughter is being asked to repeat level 3 even though she has most of her level 4 skills. She did struggle the beginning of the season in level 3, she took a while to get her...

I guess I am trying to learn from experience. Our last gym was not up front about team or expectations until we tried out and said she was too old but never offered any other opportunities (nor did I inquire but had no clue what all gymnastics meant until I began looking what team and levels...

If anyone can help me with this, I would appreciate it. I need the bonus value of a switch leap, split jump, split full vs a tourjete half, beat jump, split full. Which one would give more bonus? My daughter thinks it would be the latter, because it’s an E,A,E vs a C, C, E. Anyone?

This is a split from another conversation to help people (parents primarily... I guess) understand the difficulties of running a high level (Level 10+ / Hopes / Elite) gymnastics team. This team would be one that can consistently put athletes at Level 10 Nationals and understand the Hopes /...

I’ve been following the discussion about level 10, but there are so many parts to it and whenever I think of responding, it’s gone off in a different path. Lol. So I thought I’d start a new thread about this because I’m curious. I think the changes to level 9 are great and I definitely see how...

Am I correct in understanding that the fwd salto on floor in L7 no longer has to be done in combination?

I am a level 8 gymnast and have been working hard to improve my bars and beam. Especially bars it has always been a weaker event. I have 2 things I am currently struggling on. 1. Doing a giant with straight legs.when I do my giant i arch kick with my legs slightly bent but then to continue to...

Just as the title states... Level 9 now has difficulty bonus!

My daughter is wondering what level of xcel she could do with these skills: Vault: FHS and 1/2 on Bars: kip, back hip circle, free hip, kip with light spot on high bar, half turn dismount Beam: tuck jump without hands mount, full turn, bw cartwheel or cartwheel cartwheel connection, split jump...

I have a question. I know many gyms train up and compete down, but if you made an elite compulsory qualifying score, but competed level 8 for season doesn't that just mean you should be competing at a higher level? One of the gyms in our area qualified 3 kids. 2 of the 3 were competing in elite...

Hi, I’m looking for some information on the classic challenge cup vs the voluntary levels. My gymnasts are turning 11 and 9 and planning to compete bronze and either copper or zinc. The head coach mentioned that he may enter some girls in levels rather than the classic challenge. All the girls...

I’m relatively new to the gymnastics world. DD is switching gyms. At the new gym tuition is $350/mo and the level 3s practice 9 hrs/wk. This price is substantially more than our old gym, which I understand was priced way below average. Im not sure if this is average pricing or way over priced...

My daughter has done bhs layout stepout for the past few years as her series. She has some issues with her hip joint. The series is pretty painful, so in order to pull it off, she isn't using the best technique. Her back knee is very bent on the layout stepout because of the way she is...

I am currently working on level 9 skills and I have some questions regarding floor requirements. My coach and I have been going over options for tumbling passes to have a 10.0 start value. I have a really solid double back (I have it on the floor already) but I am not a very strong twister so we...

I'm just a gym parent and not a coach or a judge by any stretch of the imagination. But I do try to keep up with what is required so I have some semblance of understanding of the scoring at meets and where my kid might end up next year. I was under the impression that for DP level 8 you...

I hoping for some honest advice. My daughter is a level 6, 9 year old. She has been doing well scoring 36-37. Some events better than others. All girls on her team are 12plus. No one her age. She doesn’t seem to fit in with them as they seem to useTic/Toc instragram and she does not have social...

Hi everyone I am new here :) I have been reading over all your awesome threads and have noticed a big difference in hours as to what some of your girls do vs what our gym seems to do. I am in Canada my daughter is 9years old in level 3 doing 16 hrs a week. She will be doing at least level 4 in...
