Well you guys did such a great job on sending luck for my judging exam, i thought i'd ask for a little bit more (call me greedy if you want!)
My gymnasts have their Level 5 (UK) Regional competition tomorrow. It is a massive competition - 60 gymnasts in the 8yr old competition, 46 in the 9/10 competition and 22 in the 11+ competition.
I have 7 gymnasts in the 8yr old section and 2 in the 9/10 yr olds section.
They all have to do the same skills:
Floor - ROBHS (one doesn't have this yet) Handstand Forward roll, Cartwheel or backward walkover, Tuck jump, Split leap - Catleap, Full spin
Vault - Flatback onto 110cm stack of mats
Bars - upward circle or glide kip, cast to horizontal, BHC, Squat on, Catch HB, Long kip or 3/4 circle, cast to horizontal, BHC, Straddle shoot.
Beam - Squat on mount, split jump-stretch jump, Forward roll or cartwheel, half spin, backward walkover (only one has this!) Tuck jump or catleap, Roundoff or handspring dismount.
It is judged VERY harshly - if their casts don't go to horizontal on bars they don't count as a move! If only one counts they should be ok as they will still have 7 moves, but if neither count they will have a short routine and only be marked out of 6 not 10! eek! (Same on other apparatus)
There is a 'pass mark' but it means very little if they hit this mark which I think is 40 they HAVE to move to level 4 next year, if they don't hit the mark, they can either re-take level 5 next year, or move on to 4 anyway!
Any fairies you might have, please send them this way!!
Thanks!!
