    Coaches Rules for Scratching

    I have an athlete that has a conflict with an upcoming meet. She is only a Level 2, and the meet starts at 8 am. She has to leave at 11:00 am. I am going to put her first up on our last event and hope we can get her through on time. However, if not, she will have to leave before the last...

    WAG Level 3 bars

    Are gymnasts required to stop after the glide and then chin up, hold, pullover? I don't read the text that way but kids that do it that way seem to score better than those that glide, feet hit the floor, then immediately pullover.

    Parents GK Warmup Sizing?

    My child wears a size AXS leotard. She wears a size 10 in pants. I'm having the hardest time deciding what size GK warmups to get her. I hear they run small, but I don't know if they run small enough to move her up to an AXS in the warmups? I don't want the sleeves or length to be too...

    Coaches Deduction for lack of arm circle Level 2 Vault?

    I don't have the book with me right now, but I was wondering about the deduction for a lack of arm circle for Level 2 Vault. I have a gymnast who has a great vault, but doesn't circle. When she does circle, her vault slows way down and is just generally not as explosive. We will keep trying...

    Coaches Level 3 Beam

    My level 3s don't compete for a few more months, but I am looking at scores from fall meets and it appears beam scores are much lower than they were for the old level four. I will get to go watch a meet in December but I was wondering if that was the case in your area and if so, what they are...

    Coaches Can a coach still be on the floor during level 3 floor exercise?

    My understanding is that there is no deduction for a coach on the floor unless a spot occurs. Is this correct? I have an athlete that likes someone "close" for her tumbling. Thanks!

    Parents Meets that dictate your hotel?

    Is this common? I could be wrong but my understanding of the Disney meet is that you HAVE to stay at one of the hotels on a list, unless you can provide proof that you have family in the area? Is this accurate? Having to prove anything to a meet I'm paying to enter and paying to watch rubs me...

    Coaches Conditioning for Level 3 bars

    I have a gymnast that struggles mightily with bars. She's more solid than my other athletes who have a leaner body type and just struggles so much with bar conditioning. Even her pullover is very labored. We do chin ups and pull ups but even then she can't pull herself all the way up. Is...

    WAG Level 3 bars-kip

    What do you think the percentage of kids will be competing the kip? With the start value the same, I wasn't sure if it would be just a few or if gyms would start to require a good kip for Level 3.

    WAG Level 3 handstand on beam...

    Is it cross handstand, split on top, come down...... Or kick up, stay split, never bring feet together?

    Parents New level 3 beam handstand

    Do the gymnasts kick up to handstand, then show split before stepping down? Or do they never bring their legs together and remain split throughout the skill?

    Parents Will the current level 2 (new level 1) be a competitive level next year?

    We are in Texas, if that makes a difference. I can't find it on the website anywhere. Thanks!

    Parents Current Level 2

    Next year, when the current Level 2 skills move down to the level 1 routines, will level 1 be a competitive level? Here in TX, I mainly have seen competition start at Level 2.

    What's the deduction for kicking or stepping into the pullover at Level 3?

    My daughter can do her pullover when she kicks up with one leg, but is about 50% with it when she takes off from two feet. What's the deduction for stepping into it?
