So my DD (kinda in the middle of this transition right now)…. I really think that it depends on your definition of “getting comfortable and scoring well” Getting to a 9.7 SV… Easiest to hardest has seemed to be: Floor Vault Beam (getting a B dismount) Bars (high to low transition) But getting...

Maybe think about it as helping to coach a life skills on how to make choices — what college to go to, what job to take, what city to live in, etc. For example — Teach/coach the concept that your opinion will naturally be biased. Suggest who they go to biased information in the other...

Lol!

I agree many people enjoy the meet more when they aren’t looking at rankings/scores live. I’m kind of neutral. When I watch I’m more looking at the range of scores rather than the rankings. We compete against a lot of the same teams frequently and so you kind of get a sense of the scores are...

Since you are new flight B will be the second group. How it often works is… let’s say she starts on Beam. Flight A will warm up on the beam first. Then when they are done warming up they will start their routines. While that group is competing — the B flight will start warming up on a...

How does one go about learning more about which schools offer A&T and club? I’m guessing ideally I’m looking for something similar to mymeetscores that would help me see how big the teams are, how competitive they are, etc? And not that there is a “right” answer to either of those — more of a...

Parenting is hard sometimes! But I tried to use situations like these as a teaching/learning moment for my DD. I would involve her in the decision on if she needed to go to the doctor or not. I would talk to her about — since it is her body - she is the only one who knows how it feels...

You seem to be interested in getting your DD into the “right” gymnastics program. There are different paths of gymnastics in the USA. And different gyms focus on those paths differently. What a gym focuses on doesn’t make them good or bad, but it could make them the right or wrong fit for a...

Rec - Age 5 Pre-team 1 - Age 6 Pre-team 2 - Age 7 Level 3 - Age 8 Level 4 - Age 9 Level 5 - Age 10 Level 7 - Age 11 Level 8 - Age 12 Level 9* - Age 13 (*what she is registered for this up coming season). She is at that age where she isn’t very chatty with her parents about her goals. It seems...

I remember watching a in house practice meet for my DD and was impressed how they do vault. They have a group of 8-12 girls depending on the day/health etc. Everyone is level 8 or above (all doing flipping vaults). Ages are 12-18. They go in a very specific order every day to make it most...

Thank you!!!! Good to know that it was just because I was using outdated information. And even better that I now know where to find the updates.

Like I said, I’m not a judge — but I like to learn. I am curious about why the floor would be 0.15 on acro. I have the 2018-2022 up to level sheet — so it might be old.. But it says a 2 pass routine 0.05 B. 2-salto pass with 1/B Tumbling passes may be in any order The first pass FL FT...

Not a judge.. Beam: I think 0.10 for Acro Floor: I think 0.05 for Acro I think everything else is ok.

My DD will likely compete level 8 or 9 this year. 2 flights (900+ miles each) 2 longer drives (200-400 miles) 2 shorter drives (100-200 miles) 1 local meet

Just a parent, not a judge. This is fairly similar to what my DD competed last year. I think this is a 10.0 SV with a 0.05 up to level deduction on Acro. To get rid of the up to level she would need a 3rd pass (where the final pass of the routine has a B or better salto)… or two directly...
