    WAG Level 9 Beam Dismount

    For level nine dismounts, are you required to do at least a full twist? Or is this just one option that fits the requirement? Also, what would the deductions be for doing only a roundoff back tuck?

    WAG Tumbling

    To start off, none of these things aren't really for me, but I was wondering anyways. Is a gymnast allowed to not to a round off? So they would just do standing backhandspring x2 (or other numbers), then back tuck/layout/etc.? I understand it would be more challenging, but is it technically...

    WAG Value for Turns

    Sorry this is kind of random, but what are some turns that are Bs for beam? Full turn with leg at horizontal? Half wolf turn? Full wolf turn? This but only a full? One and a half normal is a B, I know. Illusions? Half, full, outward, inward, one hand, both hands, no hands- Any of these a B...

    WAG Level 6 Beam and Floor Requirements

    Level 6 Beam: So could a beam routine have a back walkover, not a back handspring? What skill value is a back walkover on beam? Would this routine meet requirements- BWO, backward roll, beat jump connected to sissone, full turn, cw bt? If that doesn't fulfil, if I replaced the full turn with a...

    Customize Me A Workout?

    Not sure if anybody is willing to do this but... I would like a short and a long version of a workout that I can do at home. I have ankle weights and push up bars incase that helps. I need some exercises that would help for better kips and press handstands. Other exercises are fine too, but I...

    WAG Hours

    Today at practice our coaches were talking about the level 8 girl on our team and her progress towards level 9 & 10. After a little bit of talk the conversation changed to a gym a little bit away and how crazy good their girls were. Then one coach said that their level 3's trained 12 hr/week...

    WAG Is This a Deduction On Bars?

    I dont know why, but recently in practice I have been doing weird squat ons. I have had my squat on for years, not a problem. Now, every few bar routines a will cast to squat on, but i will overshoot it and my feet go past the bar a couple inches, but dont touch. I hold it there a second, then...

    WAG I Almost Found Floor Music...

    I was recently watching youtube and I stumbled upon a Level 7 floor routine with amazing music. So, I went on to find it, and narrowed it down to Batter's Box by Taps Guevara. But, I can't seem to find a version without words. Wondering if anybody can help. The gymnast's floor routine here...

    WAG I Have Too Many Weird Questions...

    WAG Advanced Toddler Classes?

    I was reading some older posts and a few (and some less old posts) mention advanced toddler classes as a pathway to team. My question is how common are these class? And what do you even do in them? How long are theses classes? I have never heard of this before.

    WAG Weird Vault Question

    So to start, I do know you have to compete a skill you made up -for example, "The Biles"- at a national level for it to be considered a real "skill." But how would you do that on vault? Let's say in a few years, when more and more people do front handspring landing on the springboard, then...

    Off Topic How Long Will ChalkBucket Last?

    Just wondering, I thought this was interesting. How many of us gymnasts now will become parents, coaches, judges or owners? Kinda spooky to think about it really.
