    Coaches Double checking level 6 floor routine composition

    Order doesn't matter, but I think the walkout would make them not directly connected, which is required.

    Coaches xcel regionals

    They go by the numbers, how many platinums are in the state meet, and how many platinums are in all Region 8 state meets. Then they assign each state a number of slots according to the number of platinums in their state; that's where the percentage comes in. A state with a lot of platinums gets...

    Vault Scoring best of the 2 or average of the 2

    It's never the average of both vaults, it's the best one. The judges' 2 scores are averaged, but not the 2 vault scores together. Not AAU, USAG, or NGA.

    [Meet] Atlanta Centennial Classic

    We are going this year. My daughter also hates this meet. Every time I mention it she groans.

    WAG Points for B value skills in Xcel???

    I’m confused by your question. There’s no bonus in Xcel. They dont earn points by doing a higher skill. In many cases it is detrimental to their score. Can you elaborate on what you’re asking?

    Parents New gym....mean girls

    my daughter recently made a switch because of several reasons, but one of the big ones was friends. The group she was in was mostly new-to-the-gym girls, much younger than her and very cliquish. She begged me for the switch, and I agonized over it for weeks. I finally relented and after just 1...

    Parents Levels

    Often parents see their kid doing higher level skills than their level, and think, "She's more advanced that her level, why isn't she skipping up?" Often a gymnast can throw lots of higher skills, but they have to learn to perfect the skills in their routines. She may be able to do a back tuck...

    Parents Competing in shorts

    Competing in shorts is allowed, and it's not something that judges even think about while judging. There is no judge I know that cares if a gymnast is wearing shorts or not, so it really won't draw any different attention or response. Gyms really can't forbid it, because it is now in the Rules...

    WAG Competing low levels

    So, my DD's gym has been competing Levels 1-2 (along with all the other levels)for years. Those levels are actually very competitive in our state. Our girls even get the same uniform as every other level (although if it were me picking, I'd go with tank Leos). Any way, my oldest started in old...
