level 2

So feel free to tell me if I am being crazy and just need to chill out and be patient. 7yo dd competed the old L2 last year. Right after states last month (about 1/2 of the team competed states, including dd, and it was the top half of the team), the coach sent out an e-mail to the parents whose...

This is rec level two, so unfortunately not a lot of time available for conditioning.. These kids can get their hips onto the bar, but their pullovers stop there! they get stuck and will just hang there until someone helps them up! ive never had kids have so much trouble with this! how can i...

This is mostly out of curiosity, but it seems like USAG ultimately wants more participants in level 1 and level 2 (makes sense from their standpoint). I'm not opposed to "future team members" doing a meet or two for fun and experience, but I'm not really into the level 2, 3, 4 Olympics, which is...

Level 2 dd's coach advised that she is definitely moving up to the new level 2 but they are going to see if they can have her skip a level to the new level 3, but they won't make those decisions until June or July. What are the big skills in the new level 3 (old 4)? I'm assuming it's the...

Could someone please tell me if the new level 1 (formerly level 2) will be competing in meets, or is this more of a preteam level where the kids will learn the routines but not compete? Thanks!

Hi! I am a Level 2, hopefully a level 3 soon, but I am 16 years old. I feel really embarrassed about my age and height, because the group I'm in (9+ years old) are like 4'10" and shorter. Whenever we warm up, I feel really embarrassed. The team girls warm up at the same time on the other floor...

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

Hi Coaches, Ok so my 7 yr old daughter just joined level 2 team. She's doing ok but having trouble on what seems to be a pretty simple skill. But I have no idea how to help her get it. In the level 2 beam routine, they swing their leg over and then tuck legs up, straighten one leg out and then...

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.

Yesterday at practice the L2 team was doing some uptraining on bars-- dd got both her squat on and her single leg shoot through! She was the only one to get both. Her coach was impressed by her determination that day and acknowledged her in front of her team with a ribbon. She always works hard...

I am on my gym's rec team and levels were posted for the girls the other night, and I was very surprised (to say the least) to see that I was level 1. My two other besties were on level 2. :( I can do tons of things that they cannot do, but I can't do a back hip circle and neither can my other...

Can someone name out the level two skills in the USAG program? I am in Georgia. :)

This one was a little rougher on me than it was on my gymmie. I definitely learned some lessons. We were competing against 12 other teams this time. DD was pretty nervous, but she didn't really show it too much. She started off on beam and did pretty well (8.925). Next was floor, which she...

yeay just been told my daughter is training level 2 for competition next year, im so happy for her!!!

Hey everyone my little lady just got moved to what our gym calls level 2 team. I went to the first workout and sat and watched, wowza, some of the moms were kinda mean. Anyways they kept asking why my daughter moved up to level 2 if she had not tested out of level 1 and I just answered back...

I'll try and make this short and sweet ;) Im just looking for advice, everyone I talk to is giving me mixed feelings.. My daughter (im her coach) is turning 5 next month. Last season she competed L2 and always blew everyone outta the water. 1st on everything including AA. Now that she is age...

Well they had a little different rotation this time than what they have had at all the other meets. She fell on beam (which is normaly a pretty good event for her). But she got right back up there and picked up where she left off. Besides falling, she was a little weeble wobble, and went over...

At least Im assuming its her last L2 meet. (i assume she is moving up to L3..lol). But you know what they say assuming makes out of u and me..lol. She has her final meet this sunday morning. We are both so excited about it. Its only about 2 hrs away, but with the early meet time we will be...

Will points be deducted if my daughter lifts her feet, bringing them together in the air for her tripod to pike position instead of leaving them on the floor and sliding them together?

I have a question about the level 2 aau routine in Florida. My daughter is competing for the first time this season. In her routine they do a tripod (feet straddled, touching floor, head down) moving to a pike position. In her class there are two coaches. The one coach was working mostly on...
