    WAG Higgins Roll to Bail Value?

    Does anyone know the value of a Higgins Roll? My DD said she was told it was a C. I saw one place online that said a B. She also said it counts as a release since you let go of the bars to regrip prior to connecting it to the bail. I just can't see this being worth much in her routine. Looks...

    WAG New Level 10 Bar Release Requirements?

    I heard that they changed the release move requirements to be 1 high bar and 1 transitional bar release. So the standard bail/Chinese sit up doesn't cut it. Has anyone heard about this?

    WAG New Bouncy Bar This Season or Next?

    I heard that USAG is changing the uneven bars to ones with more "bounce". They are definitely harder to hit handstands. Anyway, I heard that change was THIS season. Someone else said it was next. Does anyone know for sure?

    WAG Back Leg in Switch Leap

    Are there any technique tips, tricks or certain stretches specifically for getting the BACK leg up in the switch leap. Her leap is 180° but not horizontal so it gets deductions and looks like it doesn't meet requirements. Just workings splits is not doing it... losing precious tenths.

    WAG Event Specialist Scoring Requirements

    What are the scoring requirements for being a L9 event specialist for state, regional and nationals? I found on one site it is 9.5 for regionals in Region 8 but on another site for Region 4 it is a 9.0. I would think all regions would be the same.

    Injuries and Puberty... What is normal?

    My daughter has had some twist, tweak, sprain, pain, jam, etc. every month for the past eight months now. She is getting so tired of it and feeling a bit beat down.

    I have a 13 yr old, 7th grade L8 gymnast. I am thinking 8th and 9th grade she will do L9 (seems to take 2 yrs). Then 10th-12th grade L10. Is getting to L10 in 10th grade too late to create interest with colleges? We are realistic about not looking at the top 15 schools. They are picking...
