moving up

Hey guys so I'm kind of worried I might not move up levels for the 2017-2018 meet season... I'm training level 5 and have all the skills I need to move up for level 5 except on bars but none of the level 4's training 5 have the skills either One of my close level 7 friends told me that the...

DD just got moved up from her L3 group to train with L5. (There is no L4). They are 1-3 years older and obviously further along. DD has done very well and none of her teammates moved with her. We are only 1 week in but the new girls (who she is familiar/ friendly with) have been very welcoming...

DS competed L5 last season. We have recently switched gyms due to a move. Our old gym was somewhat aggressive about moving boys up through the levels as the philosophy was to get them to compulsories as soon as possible. Our new gym has stated that they keep boys at each level for more than...

I am currently a level 4 gymnast but I'm working hard to get to level 5 next year. I am working lots of level 5 skills and some 6 and 7. My question is what skills do you think a gymnast needs to move to level 5. Since summer is just starting I have a bit of time to work on skills before...

Hi, everyone. We're new to gymnastics and I'm so confused and frustrated right now. I started my daughter in rec this June. I didn't know to have her skill level tested first so she started in the beginner class. Turns out, she's more at the intermediate level. She walked in knowing how to do a...

DD1 and DD2 are both l6, but their coach was talking about moving DD2 to l7. I was pleased. But i had to ask about DD1, was she moving up too? No. Of course i am gonna let DD2 to l7. DD1 is so jealous because she is 1 year older. What should i say to her?

First time posting here and would appreciate any thoughts. DD is 12. Competed 7 last year and did quite well. For the last couple of years I feel her current gym has not been fair to her (basically not setting her up to succeed, really setting her up to fail in some instances.) They do...

Has anyone heard about Gymnastics Ontario implementing move up scores? Meaning, if a gymnast has an average score from the qualifiers and/or at provincials that is above a certain threshold then they must move up to the next level?

DD has been competing on a rec team in level 2. Her gym can only take them through level 3, so we would have to make this decision in a year anyway. A lot of our kids feed into the team at a sister gym, and my daughter tried out and was offered a spot on their bronze team. It's a big jump from...

What criteria or score does your gym require for boys to move to the next level? Our gym is moving from evaluating each boy's skills and situation independently to a hardline score, so I'm wondering how other gyms handle this.

Has anyone ever done a move up meet in house where you just bring a judge in to score gymnasts out of level 5? At my old gym we used to for (old) level 6 but i am in a new state now and not sure how to request a judge here. Can you just do it for only your team or do you have to invite other...

As a parent, would you rather let repeat your soon to be 8 year old dd in lv 3 and score high (she will be competing as a young 9 @state next season 2016), or would you rather see her in Lv 4 and maybe once in a while or rarely gets up in the podium? I am having a hard time deciding. I just...

My old thread went missing... so, here I go again. continuing on.... we had the parents meeting, was very brief lasted only 30 mins. Hc did say that only those who scored top 10 are moving up.  im worried and my dd is worried.

My dd's bf is lv3 this season. She wants to move to lv4. This girl is good. Scoring 35 AA on recent meets. However, head coach is hesitant to move her up. I'm not sure why, but head coach want a strong lv3 for next season. I believe that this girl is going to be really bored if she stays another...

Do girls at your gym ever move up midseason if they are scoring 9.8's and up without the bar skills needed for next level?

We just had our first compulsory meet of the season last weekend. The girls did really well, I was actually pretty impressed! A couple falls, esp beam...but otherwise pretty good. Anyway, my main question is concerning one of our level 3s. She's 8 years old. She got a 36.0 AA at her first meet...

Just curious how other gyms do it. Our gym just does testing in between fall and spring competition seasons and then based on the skills required for the levels moves them up. However, DD did not have her BH or FHC when she was moved up from pre-team to L3. I guess our gym thought she had...

I was talking with a friend of mine, I'll call her A. Her daughter is 11 years old, I'll call her B. B competed level 8 last season ( 1st season competing level 8) . B did NOT medal at States, or qualify to Regionals (we are in a pretty competitive region for B's age group in level 8) To my...

So just last week I said how my daughter is "this close" to her kip. Apparently, she GOT it! Received the email Friday evening that she's invited to move up to L4 (and subsequently add a 4th class...). Saturday morning I spoke with coaches about grips (she was able to try on some right in the...
