    WAG New Xcel Dismount Tap Swing 1/2 1/2

    Does anyone have a video of what this would look like? DD is doing well and is working for platinum but doesn’t have a bar dismount yet (maybe a flyaway, but it’ll take time). She competed tap swing half turn last year for gold and it sounds like something she would find easy. Any advice on the...

    WAG Cast-away kips (clear hip into kip) drills?

    So DD is currently training Xcel Platinum and their coach is having them heavily train clear hips and “cast away kips ”. DD has a pretty good clear hip (she drops fairly welll, gets good clearance at the end) but she can’t figure out how to fix the kip out of it. Her coach says she’s not...

    WAG Roundoff Dismount (9.103)

    DD, an Xcel Gold, was wondering if doing the roundoff dismount on beam with one hand would count. When she uses both hands, it is sloppy and she can’t stick it. When she only uses one hand for support, it is smoother and she can usually stick the landing. We looked through the code of points and...

    WAG Xcel Gold Bars Circles

    DD has really clean FHC, and can pull off several in a row. For Xcel gold, the coach is training them all in two connected circles, which I know is technically not required, but is something our gym requires for gold. The two options the kids have been given so far are FHC cast BHC, which DD...

    WAG BWO-BWO on Floor, Do you step-in?

    My daughter competed at regionals yesterday and her coach told her for the first time ever that she was supposed to “step-in” in her BWO-BWO pass for it to count as a connection. Is this good advice, or not?

    Parents One judge panel?

    At DDs meet today, she had two-judge panels on everything but Beam. Over half the other teams in her session had two judge panels on beam too. Is it allowed to have a one-judge panel? And are scores accurate with one judge?

    WAG Would this work as an xcel silver bar routine?

    My DD is feeling uncomfortable with parts of her routine. She did some research and wants to change it to kip, front hip circle, cast, cast, dismount. Would that work? Her other possibilities would be doing two front hip circles or a single back hip circle, but she doesn’t like back hip circles...

    WAG Would a gymnast have to scratch if she arrives in a different Leo than team comp Leo?

    For some background info. The coach ordered Leo’s extremely late (ordered in November, first meet in December) Some of the kids at my daughters gym still have no comp Leo, and they can’t even wear an old one, because some of them are starting comp this year. Would they be forced to scratch or...
