DD's foreign coach who doesn't speak much english was telling here the below changes were for level 9 and 10 beam, for this season. Are these really coming out for this season? 9 and 10: Has to have 3 different flight skills Cannot do a front layout or f.full or f.double anymore, you would...

DD is working back tuck back tuck for her level 10 beam series. She has nice back tucks, but is struggling to get the connection fast enough to count w/o swinging her arms. Does anybody have a video of this connected correctly? I looked on youtube, but I didn't see any. She likes to see...

Is a side somi supposed to land both feet at the same time or one after the other? DD's coach said at the same time, but I was watching Jordyn Weibers beam routine, and it looks like one and then the other.

I took DD to the doctor on Monday for her shin splints. The good news is that there is no stress fracture, but she has a bad case of shin splints. She has been dealing with these for over a year, and nothing seems to be working. She broke her foot two months ago and had to take 6 weeks off...

DD is changing her vault from a tsuk layout to a handspring front. DD put it on her youtube account, and would love some tips on how she can make it higher and also land it. Thanks in advance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Ee0yQzmso&feature=youtu.be

DD has a front full front pike in her routine, and whenever she does it, it is very pretty. However, she gets her twisting direction mixed up when she twists, so sometimes instead of doing a full she does a 1/2 one way and then a 1/2 back. She is a righty, and her coach says she is getting her...

What are some good things to do to improve bar endurance? By the time dd has done her shootever and hiccup to high bar she is already tired and her blind change front giant looks really sloppy, and then her dismount is not as high as it usually is. Her coach has them doing a lot of cardio, but...

What are your thoughts on a gymnast competing that doesn't quite have all her skills consistent with good form? DD's first meet level 9 meet is coming up and she is not ready yet. The main problem is getting the .3 bonus. Her blind change front giant is not very healthy looking (HAH! :P) and...

Hey Guys! My daughter has set a new goal of qualifying for elite. She knows that it is very slim of her actually making it, but that is what she is going to aim for. I had a few questions on the qualifications. How do you qualify for elite? I have heard a lot of stuff about the elite...

I know to qualify for state you have to get a 32. For regionals do they take a percent, or is it a 34? Thanks!

What is the value of a front handspring pike 1/2? Thanks!

Hey guys! DD is starting her level 9 training tomorrow. I was wondering if anybody knew some easy or medium c's for floor? She is working a 1 1/2 twist, and I believe a double turn for c's but I was looking for a wider variety. BTW, regionals went well. She only placed on vault and all...

The owner of our gym told us last night that region 3 (I don't know if it's all regions...) is stopping giving out level 8 regional leotards. Does anyone know why they did this and if its true?

Well my DD competed yesterday at state and she qualified for regionals!! She placed 7th on vault with a 9.575, and got a 9.3 on bars. She fell on beam but still got a high 8, (believe it was an 8.9?). Floor was a little dissapointing, she went down 2 or 3 tenths from a 9.5 at the last meet...

How exactly do you get to regionals for level 8? My oldest dd has gone to regionals and another one of my dd's has state next week and I relized I still am not sure what she has to do. I believe that it is more placing instead of a certain score. Anybody know what percent you have to be in or...

DD2 is competing level 8 at the new gym this season. She has come so far on all the events but she is still struggling on bars. Her coach said that it is 3 tenths deduction every time you don't hit handstand. So she is getting 6 tenths off for just casts. 3 tenths for not hitting cast hs...

My two twin daughters competed at a level 7 meet a few months ago and scored really well (this is their second year). It was an in house meet, so we had a judge come out. One got a 36.9 the other a 37.1. So the gym they are currently at moved them up to level 8. We are considering switching...

My lvl 7 DD has this very wierd problem. She has an amazing bar routine at practice, but when she gets to a meet (only on bars) she gets "tired, and feels like she can't breath, and her chest feels tight." I don't know what is going on. Is it because she is nervous? This doesn't happen on any...

UGH! I am really started to get annoyed with some of DD1's teamates. DD came home very fraustrated because of one girl. This is girl is always being a pain and goofing off. I don't even see why she is still on team. Level 8's and level 9's workout togather. DD=level 9. Girl (I am gonna call...
