This is exactly how my daughter’s gym operates. Sounds like you have the exact same philosophy our head coach has and has communicated to us as parents.
My daughter only scored above a 36 once in compulsories. Once she hit level 7,8,9 she regularly scored 37+ (level 10 has been a different...
My daughter had some issues with Patellofemoral pain months after recovering from an unrelated knee surgery. She did a virtual PT session with Ian Crider (the gymnastics doc on FB) and whatever he had her do resolved things almost immediately. His pricing is super reasonable, and he is also a...
Looks like it’s listed as a .2 deduction for no B turn, which I’m pretty sure is how it was previously? It was never one of the .5 special requirements I don’t think.
Have they published the details on the composition credit requirements yet? Or is it all mostly the same as before just as a credit now instead of deduction?
The end score should be the same, my understanding is that the composition requirements aren't new, they just are additions instead of deductions. A clean routine with an easier series can and will still score well.
(I'm curious to see what the actual CC are)
There’s another thread here discussing some rumors, but I don’t think anything has been officially released yet.

We went in person and it was SO much fun! My daughter has a former club teammate at Minnesota so we were able to get seats with their cheering section on Thursday night and it was crazy. It was exhausting (lol in a good way) organized cheers after every single routine. We all lost our voices...
I would absolutely travel if my daughter qualified as an alternate. They still get to do the opening ceremonies, practice day and rotate with their region. Totally anecdotal but her teammate who was an alternate last year got called up last min, I think she found out Friday she was competing the...
My daughter had surgery summer of 2024, the gym gave us one month off tutition and then we paid the full amount. Even though she was literally just coming in for an hour or so to do PT in the beginning. She didn’t do her first back handspring until 7 months post-op. It was a lot of money for...
My daughter has always straddled her giants, however her coach recently switched her to pike instead to help with her tap technique for double lay dismounts. (I have no idea how that helps, but that’s what she told me) She’s 5’2.
