Our first meet is coming up next weekend and we have several girls who just can’t seem to get the skills they need to meet the requirements for their level.
Before you ask why the girls simply don’t compete at a lower level, I am going to say that decision is made by the gym owners and not us (the coaches).
Anyway, I have always assumed that for gymnasts to meet the Silver requirement for their dismount on bars they needed to do either a sole circle (sorry, I’m way old school) or an under swing. I know recently that a squat on/stretch jump was included as a dismount.
I know that Bronze can do a cast to stand or roll forward to a controlled chin hang. Would either of these meet the requirements for Silver?
I hope my question is clear enough. I’m trying to type while my two younger kids are requesting things left and right!
