    Anon Level 5 DP cast to handstand requirement?

    Rumors get started through misinformation like this! Our gym told us the level 6 routine was going to have a hitchkick backwalkover connection on floor. Conveniently missed the half turn in there. There were some good laughs trying to figure that one out.

    Parents How do they learn the skills

    I agree with this, especially at this time of the year! Basics, drills, and conditioning. I would see what things are looking like in 6-8 weeks as summer comes to a close. It's actually really fun to watch when it looks like not a lot has been happening and then there are suddenly big skills!

    Parents Asking gym about what level for next year?

    I think it's ok. Say something like, daughter loves gym and is having a lot of fun in her new group. We're just wondering if you can help us prepare financially for any change in level. Thanks so much, we appreciate it.

    Off Topic Streaming Hopes and American

    No, flip now is awful. Meet scores online did the live scores so maybe if you had a copy of the rotation order, the stream, and the scores going you might be able to figure it out

    I highly anticipate another lowering of the qualifying score.

    Women American Classic 2025

    Thank you! I'm also annoyed that the app is only for iPhone. It's completely ridiculous that it's been around for years, barely functions, and isn't available for Android.

    Men MAG National Qualifier

    Are there full results somewhere? The 11-12 hopes winner scored over 50 in the AA so I'm also interested in that.

    Women Move ups versus repeat?

    I wouldn't focus on that score. I know our gym would never move up someone getting a 30 in silver. Honestly they wouldn't have even been on team if they weren't going to be able to average close to a 9 in silver. Generally, you compete while uptraining where possible. At the end of the season...

    Coaches Coach brag thread

    I'm not a coach anymore formally but I am a coach at heart and our two year old did her first unprompted forward roll the other day. I haven't had a lot to contribute lately but I do like when ads go away 🤣

    Women Repeating

    That's not really a great reason, but kids are kids. I would facilitate a conversation between her and her coach. Would she be able to work upgrades? Are they open to her scoring out of level 5 with two 36s at level 4 this year and moving to level 6 for the following season? As a parent, is...

    Women Phasing out compulsories?

    I hope not. I still miss elite compulsories 🤣

    Gymnasts coming back into the sport?

    We have had one athlete move down a level due to a long time off/growth spurt and we had to submit a petition to the state chair.

    Men Pan American Champs

    I was a little bummed about some of the withdrawals though.

    Parents Choosing the right Track

    As someone who coached level 2, 100% agree. It's a money grab in my opinion. I was at a gym that wanted their compulsories to be scoring 37s and 38s so we were under a lot of pressure to have the routines drilled to perfection. It was honestly so annoying to be stuck doing that instead of...
