connection

in level 9 I see you can do both bhs X bhs or bhs X back tuck/LO do you get a bonus for doing the layout/back tuck in the connection or can my gymnast just compete bhs X bhs and have the same start value??:)

Does anyone have a video of a great back walkover back handspring connection on beam? (level 7) And a video of a close connection but no credit, I am struggling trying to decide whether or not one of my gymnasts is connecting, she did not get credit last meet, but I was not there so I didn't...

I heard something recently: that shorter, lighter girls sometimes have trouble getting good swinging momentum on bars. Do you think this is true?

DD's coach told her tonight that if she fell on her BWO BWO series that she wouldn't get credit for the connection even if she landed both on the second try. DD asked if there is any point in trying it again if there's no connection. She was always told at level 6 to redo the BWO if they fell...

My daughter does a FHS/BTK at L9 for her connection. Can she use that at 10? Is it worth the same as a BHS/BT? Are they both Cs?

HELP! JUDGES! COACHES!One arm backhandspring connection on beam (level 9) Where are the arms suppose to be when connecting a one arm backhandspring to a split jump? After the one arm backhandspring are the arms suppose to finish up then swing around for the jump or do the finish down to go for...

Does anyone know what the options are for a connection for L9 beam? BH BH is too much for her back.

Is a front hnadspring/back tuck a L9 connection on beam?

I am a level 8 gymnast. I am having trouble connecting back walkover into a back handspring. I can do it on the low beam without a problem, but when I go to the high beam, I force my self to swing my arms before I do the back handspring, so it isn't a connection. I am scared to do it on the...

So I have been having lots of trouble on my bwo connection. I can make the first one easily, but as soon as I try to go for the next one, I freeze! My coach says to just keep moving my hands back, but this doesn't seem to help. I can connect them perfectly on the floor. Any tips? :confused:

In the required connection of a dance element with a leap to a 180-degree split plus a second (dance or acro) element, if the second element is not done in proper form, does the athlete lose not only the possible connection bonus but also the half point for the Special Requirement? (The specific...

just wondering, anyone know what the connection bonuses are for national 7 wag in australia? any answers appreciated:)

My DD will be moving to Level 9 and I am a newbie to Start Value of 9.7 with .3 bonus for connection values. Can some explain in laymans terms what are connection values, some examples for bars, beam, and floor and how are they earned. Thanks in advance.

Hallo! DD has been working her L7 floor routine for awhile, and has hit a snag...she can't seem to score above 9.2 due to lack of 180 degree split in her dance series connection (split leap to jump)...sometimes she gets partial points off, other meets she loses the entire element. She DOES have...

Has anyone seen a video of this online? It seems there is a huge deduction for not connecting this on beam. I heard you can't swing your arms either. Would love to see this done perfectly.

My 11 year old is working out her Level 9 floor routine. She told me this morning that she thought that her first tumbling pass (round off-back layout 3/2-front tuck) might receive 0.2 points for connection value, but she wasn’t certain if the round off would count in a A+C connection in...

I have two questions about the rules concerning connection bonus on rings. The rules say that in order to be elligible for connection, a strength series must ascend. First question: does this refer only to the final position of the second skill being higher, or does it also apply to how the...

I used to work at a gym where girls did an front hand spring mount onto the beam connected by swinging the arms frome the ears down to the front of their body then back up again into a flic flac this gave them flight plus flight credit...would a step out fhs do the sme thing...fhs step out into...

I have a question regarding the series in a Level 8 beam routine. My daughter, who is having trouble with making the connection in her series (which was BHS/BHS) is now being asked to do BT/BHS. Is this an unusual order? Wouldn't even a back handspring/back tuck make more sense? If she was...

In the current COP men get connection points for ''In-Bar elements + Flight elements'' ...one would interpret this then as Group III + Group II connected or vice versa... why then are gymnasts receiving the connection bonus for doing a 'Stoop in shoot and 1/2 t. thr hdst. in ovgr.' Group IV box...
