Hi everybody - haven't been on in awhile. After a summer of struggles and thoughts of quitting dd had her first level 7 meet yesterday. She was expecting low scores as she hasn't mastered some of her skills - namely she doesn't have her flip flop on the beam and her giants on the bars. But...

Happy to be able to say that dd did not quit after our last meet and we were able to compete at Chicago Style on Friday. DD got her highest AA score so far as a level 6 (32.825 - not quite the 33 she was hoping for but so close). She was on vault first - score 8.25, still can't seem to get...

DD has had two bad level 6 meets in a row. After today's meet which she didn't finish she says she is quitting. Last meet was travel meet right after our vacation so she had only practiced once and made two critical mistakes - on beam she touched the beam after saluting and then withdrew her...

Well we had our third level 6 meet report. I will start by saying I wasn't expecting great things given our family holiday party was Saturday and dd was playing with friends and cousins at party all day. We had to sneak out right after dinner for our 5pm check in. So I was pleased by the...

DD had second level 6 meet of the season Friday 8am check in. We were hoping for some small improvement from the first meet, not sure how much improvement we got - dd says her routines were overall improved but the scores don't necessarily show it. First up was bars - still struggling with the...

DD's 2nd level 6 meet is tomorrow am. Hopefully she can stay on the bars and improve her AA score. She did well at practice tonight - Wish us luck!!

First - Thanks for all the Good Luck Wishes! Well we have the first level 6 meet under our belt, so we can relax and start looking forward to the next. DD did ok - not her best performance but she took home two medals, so she was happy and her team placed 3rd. First up was floor -...

DD is competing in her first level 6 meet on Sunday. She is nervous, and needs all the good luck she can get!:eek:

Any suggestions on how to overcome fear! My daughter is moving up to level 6 and she is now afraid to flip! She can't do the fly-away on bars - she has never really tried to flip, even into the pit. She says she is afraid and doesn't know how. And now she can't do her round-off flip-flop...

My nine year old dd competed level 5 last year - she scored ok, but wasn't in the medal running most of the time. She wants to move up levels and her coaches have said as long as she gets her fly away by the end of the summer she can move up. I've been told by some that she should move up and...

Hi - I'm new to the chalkbucket. My 9 year old daughter has been doing gymnastics for about three years. She competed level 5 last year and did ok, her coaches said she can move up to level 6 if she gets her fly away on bars. She feels strongly that moving up is the best thing. I'm not sure...
