Does anyone know the value of a Higgins Roll? My DD said she was told it was a C. I saw one place online that said a B. She also said it counts as a release since you let go of the bars to regrip prior to connecting it to the bail. I just can't see this being worth much in her routine. Looks...
I heard that they changed the release move requirements to be 1 high bar and 1 transitional bar release. So the standard bail/Chinese sit up doesn't cut it. Has anyone heard about this?
I heard that USAG is changing the uneven bars to ones with more "bounce". They are definitely harder to hit handstands. Anyway, I heard that change was THIS season. Someone else said it was next. Does anyone know for sure?
Is defined as this on the GymDogs website:
Kick Over front - gymnast starts standing and swings one leg backwards overhead making herself flip forward landing in a sitting position on the beam with one leg straight and one bent.
Does this have another name? Not seeing any YouTube videos where...
Are there any technique tips, tricks or certain stretches specifically for getting the BACK leg up in the switch leap. Her leap is 180° but not horizontal so it gets deductions and looks like it doesn't meet requirements. Just workings splits is not doing it... losing precious tenths.
I have a couple teens, level 9 and 10, looking for a serious cirque style summer camp. So far I am finding camps geared towards all ages and with no ability requirements. Does anyone know of any circle style camps geared to a higher level athelete? Mostly interested in acro and aerial training.
What are the scoring requirements for being a L9 event specialist for state, regional and nationals?
I found on one site it is 9.5 for regionals in Region 8 but on another site for Region 4 it is a 9.0. I would think all regions would be the same.
What is the start value for these vaults?
Front handspring on and full twist off
Front handspring on and 1 1/2 twist off
Front handspring on and double twist off
Thanks in advance for any help on this one. :-)
My DD can't hit 180° in leaps. What are some other options for getting bonus on beam at L9? Someone said a double turn with a flutter kick leap. There have got to be several more. Any ideas?
My daughter has had some twist, tweak, sprain, pain, jam, etc. every month for the past eight months now. She is getting so tired of it and feeling a bit beat down. The PT said to expect this while she is in puberty and growing until she hits 14. Does this seem like a correct assessment? Or is...
I have a 13 yr old, 7th grade L8 gymnast. I am thinking 8th and 9th grade she will do L9 (seems to take 2 yrs). Then 10th-12th grade L10.
Is getting to L10 in 10th grade too late to create interest with colleges?
We are realistic about not looking at the top 15 schools. They are picking...
