I am hoping that someone who knows the requirements of L7 can help me with something that I can't seem to get an answer for from either my dd or her coach. Her L7 floor routine keeps losing its start value. In the past 4 meets I have noticed that the judges lowered her start value to 9.7. Prior...

I am curious about level 7 vaults. My dd will compete L7 in the fall and said that she is bored with the fhs vault and is planning on doing some sort of twisting vault. I think she said a half on half off. My question is this, which vaults are most common in L7? Also, how is scoring? Has anyone...

I was wondering how my DD's summer schedule is compared to other L6/7 gymnasts. Just to clarify, all of the girls already qualified for L7, but their skills at the end of the summer will determine their comp level for next season. They will be practicing 4 days per week for a total of 18hrs per...

Is anyone going to the Pink Invitational this weekend? It will be extra crowded there this year because the annual flower show starts at the Convention Center on Saturday morning! Parking will be a nightmare. This is always a fun meet and the girls love getting the "pink" leo.

My dd just started competition season a few weeks ago and has been asking to do a lot of things such as going to the trampoline park, roller skating and ice skating. I am hesitant to let her do these things because I fear an injury. I feel like she spends all year training and to risk an injury...

My DD is about to start her competitive season as a new level 5. She did well last year, but other parents at the gym are telling me to expect lower scores this year because they believe that the scoring at level 5 is much more stringent than that of level 4. I am a bit nervous because the coach...

My DD currently competes as a level 4 and will be moved to level 5 after this season is completed. The coach wants her to compete in two meets at level 5 next year and then go directly into level 6. The coach said she will learn both level 5 compulsory routines and level 6 optional routines over...

My daughter has long hair and prefers to wear it in a ponytail rather than a bun during competition. She says that a bun bothers her head when she does certain skills such as a back extension roll. The first two meets this season she wore a ponytail and there was no issue. At the third meet...

My daughter broke her big toe during vault practice last Monday night. We saw 2 different doctors who both said it was a small fracture. They put her in a boot & said she will probably be in it for about 4 wks, possibly a bit shorter or longer. She is devastated about missing a meet this...
