Same thing happened with us... we paid for the music and the choreography with a former gym. After my daughter switched gyms, we only found out that they "reused" both with a new gymnast when we went to compete at a High School meet. My daughter was surprised, but so were a ton of other...

I am probably in the small minority here on this question. But, if you are still in communication with parents of team girls I would say something. You might want to phrase it carefully "I heard something that may or may not be true...", but I would give them the heads up to at least look into...

This makes me wonder... WHY did they want to repeat Level 8? My guess is that their perception may be that Level 9 would be difficult at best and they would not be competitive. Or, at least not as successful as they would like. So, the thought that the levels are getting harder is there -...

As a parent, this would be of concern to me - especially if you feel the changes you mentioned are a step back for her. It's hard to be in the "in-between" spot for sure. But, given she would likely be the most advanced pre-team member (after having already done it for a year), I think it's in...

Thank you!

Great... Thank you!

My daughter is a L7 gymnast who has been scoring in the high 8s with her current floor routine. Her skills seem comparable (if not even sometimes better) than teammates who outscore her. While her music may not be as upbeat as the rest of the team, she believes she has all the required...

My daughter's current gym would not let those gymnasts compete those events. However, we came from a gym that was more laid back. On that team, there was a couple of girls who displayed fears on events. For example, over the years one girl had issues every practice with the jump to the high...

Good luck to your daughter in USAIGC!!! My daughter competed in that organization for four years (two at Bronze and two at Silver) before moving back to USAG this year. In fact, her old gym competed at a few gyms in Syracuse! I'm sure your daughter will do very well coming from a JO program...

I completely feel your pain here.... this is my daughter's third year completing club gymnastics (with travel meets) while also competing on her high school team (which has up to three meets within a week's timeframe). Of course, there are the almost daily double practices on non-meet days...

Thanks to everyone who replied! Glad to know I wasn't crazy or reading the site incorrectly. :) I'm leaving the topic alone and will leave it up to my daughter to discuss any necessary changes in the routine with her coach. Hopefully, it'll result in not only a cleaner/better scoring...

What is the maximum time limit for a Level 7 floor routine? Can it be 1:30? My daughter just switched gyms and levels, and is being told the max length is 1:20. But everything I'm reading online says Levels 7 - 10 can be up to 1:30 (and Level 6 can be up to 1:15). I completely understand...

This may be completely obvious to most of you, but I am confused. I know Biles is moving on to the Vault Finals. And, I know that to do so, she competed two vaults (from two different vault categories) during qualifications. What I don't understand is why Raisman, Hernandez and Douglas did...

USAIGC has had a larger presence in New York State for the last few years. I've noticed, however, that outside of the NYC area, the number of USAIGC teams seems to be shrinking now. At least two of the good sized programs we have competed against no longer have IGC teams. And, the Hudson...

I would like to join as well..... Thank you!

OP… I completely understand where you are coming from - as I've stated before. What I don't get is: 1. Why individuals here are suggesting your question is creating drama. It was a legitimate question to ask and people should be respectful. 2. Why other posters are comparing "being...

Ginger, actually, I think that b/c you have had issues with communication from coach; This is what I would do, I would definitely make the younger dd leave gym (if for a few months). She may have indeed some focus issues, either from being distracted or maybe it's a coach and gymnast thing...

To the OP: This would bother me as a parent as well. You stated that they were MOVED to the Level 3 team (as opposed to being offered an opportunity to train with the Level 3 girls, but compete Level 2). To me, that means they should have the benefits associated with earning the Level 3...

I was hoping to get some opinions from judges (and coaches too) who are familiar with the requirements for USAIGC Silver level floor routines. Recently, my daughter was given a new Silver floor routine. She’s very happy with the music and the choreography. However, I do have a question. Of...
