    WAG Level 5 ~ toe-on and stalder to handstand

    Hi. I saw this at our L5 meet this weekend. Took me by surprise. Great that the kid can do it, but is that okay for a L5 compulsory bar routine? Just curious. Thanks.

    WAG L5 beam - fall and scoring question

    Asking for a friend, since she is not on here and I am not sure. If a kid falls off beam on the BWO without touching any part of a foot to the beam, and then gets back on the beam and resumes the routine with whatever comes after the BWO, does the kid get a deduction for the fall plus a...

    WAG Level 5, wow!

    Whew, DD just had her first level 5 meet and wow that level is tough. Going from 3 to 5 has been a huge jump. She held her own, took 2nd in the AA and medalled in 2 events but it was definitely an eye opening experience. It's the first level that has really challenged her and it was the first...

    WAG Level 5 bars scores

    My daughter has not had her first Level 5 meet yet, but in looking at scores from a meet this past weekend, there were A LOT of really low bars score ( 4s and 5s) in level 5. Is this a known thing? I've never seen scores that low and have another child competing 9.

    Parents Differences between L4 and L5 vault

    Can someone please tell me the differences between L4 and L5 vault? I'm guessing maybe they have different minimum height requirements for vault tables, but I'm not sure at all... And am I correct to assume the minimum height requirement for a L4 vault table is 100cm? My daughter is tiny 8 yr...

    WAG L5 Bars

    Hello! DD has a Level 5 meet in just a few weeks, and I am looking for some judges/coaches who can take a quick peak at her L5 bars routine (videotaped at a practice). She will be attending a "real" meet in a neighboring state with fall compulsories, but her score at this meet will (hopefully)...

    WAG Level 5 Bars Requirements

    Hoping somebody can help. We are moving to the States from the UK and my daughter will be competing with a club in South Carolina. We were looking up skills for various levels on bars but depending on where you looked they were different. I thought USAG Levels were the same across the...

    Parents To do L5 or not to do L5

    So I would like to know the pros and cons about skipping L5. My daughter wouldn't have an issue she has the skills but many other moms are tossed for their own girls. They would do L6 from L4.

    Parents L5 fracture

    My daughter has an l5 fracture is currently in brace. Our orthopedics gave us no guidance, except brace her and come back when pain is gone. I am at a loss as to what to do or not to do. She hasn't done any gymnastics for 3 weeks and pain is only when doing back walkovers and such.

    WAG Repeat Level 5?

    My daughter (10) goes to a small gym and Level 5 is the highest - they started the Team back up with her and some other girls at Level 3 two years ago. Her and her friend have moved up a Level each season. They both competed Level 5 this season and did well. Scored mid 34s and 35s in several...

    WAG L5 beam options

    We were at a meet recently where one of the girls did a back extension roll on beam instead of a BWO or BHS. I'd never seen this before so was kind of curious why you don't see it more often. Is it considered more difficult to learn? Would it meet the requirements for L6?

    WAG Questions about Level 5 bar and beam.

    Short Stack had a meet on Saturday. She tied for first on beam with a 9.075. Due to her all-around score (she placed 12th or 13th on all other events. Beam is consistently her strongest event) she placed second. She came to me and said, "OH! if I got my handstand on the end of the beam all the...

    WAG No Level 5?

    WAG Level 5 Gym Switch?

    I could use some input on my 10 y/o Level 5 daughter. She really enjoys gymnastics and wants to continue the sport but not at her current gym. Reasons include she knows she is not a favorite and bad behavior of some of the other girls during practice and meets. Her best friend who is a year...
