I have a 2nd year level 10, who is in high school. This year she decided that she still loves gymnastics, but doesn't want to do it in college. Don't let your gymnast give up things or miss events for gymnastics.

My daughter used to go to a gym where each girl was allowed to select their own leo, they could be any color or style. My daughter's current gym has sometimes had a mix of leos when changing to a new style. The only deduction for leos would be for improper attire, such as spaghetti straps or...

It was mentioned at Congress in the Xcel Update. They are calling it Xcel Plus currently, with a name TBD. I understood it was being piloted in 2 regions, but didn't pay attention to which ones because it wasn't my region.

I also had a 9.3 with the RO the biggest deduction.

I have had both vaccines and my husband and 2 teens (16 and 19) have had 1 so far.

An extra cast is 0.3

I had my first a week ago. :)

I was thinking the same thing.

I just realized that I said she could do a switch leap, but didn't specify that's a C and isn't restricted. She could add a B to it for her dance series or just do the switch alone in addition to another dance series, such as split jump beat jump. Some Bs are split jump, straddle jump, tuck 1/2...

It's just math. This is just hypothetical, but if there are 5 up to .3 deductions and 1 judge takes .2 on each and 1 judge takes .1 on each, there is already a .5 difference. Judges scores have to be with a certain range. The range is 10-9.5=.2, 9.475- 9= .5, 8.975-8=1.0, etc. For these...

collegegymnews.com puts up the schedule of where you can find a lot of the top 20 each week.

There's no balance or flexibility skill requirement. There is a dance series requirement, but that could be met other ways. To not have a composition deduction she needs 2B and 1 A dance skills. If her A is a full turn then she still needs 2 Bs, which could be switch leap + Split jump or even...

Gymnasts on my daughter's team are competing if they are willing to travel from our area with a VERY high Covid rate to other states with very high Covid rates. So yes, gymnasts on her team are competing and no, she is not. First year level 10 as a sophomore is shot.

My family has been very careful as well, with gym being our family's main risk factor. My daughter's gym signed up for only out of state meets and the only one I opted for her to attend is in AZ in February. In looking at that meet I thought with the size of the convention center and the...

The gymnast receives credit to 135. the deductions are .05-.1 to 160 and .15-.2 to 135.
