    Gymnasts Pre-Meet Advice

    Hi! I have a meet tomorrow and I would like some tips. Its my first platinum meet and I am not ready at all. I have lost a lot of skills this week and I don't know what to do. I'm really scared that I'm going to get really bad scores because I'm used to placing a lot. What should I do?

    Gymnasts Grips or no grips?

    WAG Back uprise?

    Could someone please explain how a back uprise on high bar works? I haven't seen it in many routines and apparently you're not supposed to be on the bar and almost like you're dropping back into a clearhip??? How would you cast out of that though and is it even a cast out?

    WAG Vaults getting worse?

    WAG Platinum or Gold?

    Hi everyone! So this is something my coaches and I have been thinking about for a while and whether I should be in Gold or Platinum. I competed Silver last year and before you say that it's not possible to skip a level I'm pretty sure I could score out of gold or something similar. I have had...

    Off Topic what level should i be in?

    I'm currently competing xcel silver with decent scores in the mid 9s on all events and all my teammates are saying that I should be in xcel gold. the coaches don't seem to notice me much since I don't think I have much problems so I don't think they have to talk to me about much. I haven't...
