states

Can someone explain to me the difference in approach to states? Why do some gyms have their levels 4-6 compete at fall states vs. spring states? What is the benefit to one over the other? Thanks!

Hi, I have states in 2 weeks and I don't have my pullover by myself yet, only with a spot. I would like to know the deductions on a routine with a pullover with a spot vs. a routine with just jumping to front support? Yesterday I had a trial comp and a girl called Hannah was supposed to spot me...

Photo disk from Level 5 States came today... thought I'd share a handful! "] "] "] "] "] "] "]

My daughter is a L4 and will be competing in her 1st state meet. She has been in great spirits until today....she had a horrible practice. Her HC tried to cheer her up and tell her that a bad practice makes for a good meet. My DD is 8 and I don't think she can see past the simple fact that she...

Well, last one before states....better than last week but still terrified of vault...Any IDEAS? Can't wait to put level 5 in the rear view mirror!! YouTube - Classics Sophia April 2011

Well my dd ended her 2nd year of level 8 on a high note. In addition to having no falls on any event she scored her highest level 8 AA! She also competed with a very painful heel/tendon. Luckily vault was last as it caused the most pain and she barely made it through. She was .75 off from...

DD has states next weekend. What a ride this year has been. After being told she would never place on beam and should consider switching from USAG, she went out at her last meet and hit her series on beam - two backhandsprings. So proud of her for sticking with it and thankful for the new...

Well over all the team did fairly well. We had beam for first event and the whole team had issues and were falling off only one even placed on beam but then the got them selves together and did well on the rest of the meet. My DD I think considering everything over the past year did really...

Can someone explain this to me? The awards go out different percentages per age group. Is this normal? 8 year olds 100% 9 year olds 50% 10 year olds 34% 11- not up yet 12 year olds 24% 13 year olds 29% 14 not up yet 2009 USAG NEW YORK STATE LEVEL 7

I'm still mastering my video softwear... I need to spend more time messing around with titles and such. But it's late so I'm calling it done. I posted the results last night when we got home, but I just want to say how proud I am of Kathy. Her first level 5 meet back in October she got a...

Hi everyone !! Have not posted much in a LONG time because my computer is broken & I have to do any posting from my phone. I'm too long winded for little phone posts !!! I have been reading and responding a bit here and there. Going to try to be more active. DD has her State Meet this...

I know MaryA also has a daughter competing this weekend. Just wanted to let everyone know that we'll be competing this weekend. This is Kayla's first time qualifying for states. She missed it in Level 4 and First year of level 5. She is beyond excited and definitely feeling ready to compete...

Kyrie finished her season yesterday at her state meet. I am so proud of her and think she did a terrific job. She didn't place and the competition was tough but she is always a winner in her mommy's eyes. Here is a montage of her meet and please guess the scores: (I will post the scores...

This good luck forum has been very good to my flipper. She has been trying to clean up some of her stuff, and that often leads to two steps backwards to make one leap forward. She is working so hard and getting a little frustrated, which is ok. She is in a really tough field and the largest...

My dd is injured with a states a couple of weeks away. She hasn't practiced all week and I'm not sure how things will go next week. The positive is that she has had a really good season so if she isn't in shape to compete states, her level 3 season was fun. Please send some healing fairies her way!

Hope all of the NJ Level 5 and Level 6 gymmies have a wonderful States this weekend and that the snow comes in and goes out quickly for Friday!!!

I always read everyone's meet reports and they are my favorite part of CB. I had a question though regarding scoring. I will often see someone post about their DD's state meet and the scores seem so low. In our state sometimes a 36.00 won't even qualify you to state from south/north state...

My dd has been sick with a bad chest cold for more than a week. As a result she is truly exhausted. She missed two practices ago, only made it though half the last, and I'm not sure she will be able to practice tomorrow. The next day is state comp L4. Any advice on whether or not to compete...

Well my daughter survived level 5! She actually had a great meet at States, really her best meet despite a fall on beam. I hope to get video posted later this week but here's how she finished: Vault - 8.650 (No placement but her highest score of the year) Bars - 9.425 (T3rd) Beam - 8.550...

After reading a post about "zones" and only having one chance to qualify for states it brought up a few questions. First of all what is "Zones"? I am curious as to how different states and countries run their qualifying. I was somewhat shocked to hear they only have 1 chance to qualify. Where...
