I wouldn't necessarily say my dd's routine is well performed, but here is a really good angle of her floor routine from 2016, level 7. It got her to regionals that year...so I guess it was good enough...lol!
My daughter did that a few years ago. She went from lv 3 to lv 6. She scored out of lv 4 and 5 at one in house score out meet. It was a tough jump but it can be done.
IMO, they run narrow. My dd is an older girl, but carries her length in her torso so they fit her well. So, I would agree with you, if the girls have any curves, it might fit different. My big girl is pretty much curve-less!
Hey! That’s me! :);):);)
I’m a Tennessee girl! But I’m in Chattanooga.
There are a lot of great gyms in the Nashville area! You can message me if you would like to talk more about it!
Oh, gosh no! Lv 9 is a totally different ballgame! My point was that those were the 2 years that my generally solid scoring bar gymnast scored lower. There were many factors that contributed to those lower scores. Personally, I feel that both are big transition years!
My experience, for what it’s worth, is that your dd will get dinged significantly if her cast handstands are not to hs (or really close to hs). In my opinion, lv 6 bars scored as tough as lv 9 bars. My dd is a bars girl, but her two lowest scoring seasons were lv 6 and lv 9.
Level 6 video...
Level 9 is a whole new ballgame! My dd is a 1st year lv 9 as well and boy, it’s tough. She missed nearly every meet last year in lv 8 due to an early injury. My dd has never had scores these low, but it’s not her, it’s across the board, generally speaking. Our goal is to have a healthy, safe...
My dd used tiger paws on beam (vault and floor). She has for several years after her wrist injury (overuse...yurchenko training). It takes a little time to get used to them, but she hasn’t had any issues with them being too bulky.
I totally agree! My guess is that they will eventually be forced to file bankruptcy. The group will renamed. We will all be competing under a different name next year...
It was crazy to see how out of alignment her hips were. Like, by 2 inches or more. I noticed it when she was tumbling on beam! She kept falling off to the same side every time. The chiropractor took pictures to show how bad it was. My dd felt an immediate difference. I don’t think she realized...
So true!! Our gym was incredibly supportive of my dd. During competitions, they had her out in the floor with the team! They always had a rotating conditioning list to keep her in the best shape possible! We were blessed, for sure!
My dd broke her 1st metatarsal, and growth plate...complete break, narrowly avoided surgery. She was non weight bearing for almost 8 weeks, and in a boot for 10+ weeks. She went to the gym everyday. She conditioned a lot and eventually moved to strap bar. Make sure your dd wears a tennis shoe on...
I’d like to add to this (at least my DD’s experience).
After you have it, and it starts to look pretty good, you have a brain fart and you loose it.
Then you cry out of frustration bc your brain gets in the way of your body.
Then you stress bc your meet is XXX days away.
Then one day it...
I didn’t think a full was allowed in lv 6. Could they possibly be planning on her competing a lv 7 or lv 8? I could be way wrong about the full being allowed in lv 6, but who knows!
Mentally, bhs Lo (she has it but won’t throw it on the high beam).
Physically, single bar release moves. She’s toyed with jaegers, reverse hect, geingers (gosh, I hope I spelled those correctly).
