It didn't seem right. These are level 1 and 2 girls who are just starting to understand gymnastics. The team has its 1st meet in 2 weeks. My dd has been taught since she was 3 to arm circle before punching. A new coach whos only experience is as a level 4 gymnast just changed this and I think its going to be the last piece of icing on the cake to warrant a gym move.That’s very odd. Our kids require an arm circle on all vaults for all levels.
