Parents Bars dismount

[XcelMom08]

My DD said her coaches indicated that her squat on on bars would be her dismount moving forward.
I know the straddle was a dismount but I didn’t know the squat on was as well. The only time I’ve seen a squat in is when the gymnast jumps to the high bar or when they are just practicing their squat on in general.
Is it considered a dismount too? Jw.

My daughter did a squat on and jumped off the bar as her dismount in xcel silver.

All level 3 gymnasts now do squat on, jump off dismount for the "new" compulsory routines that went into effect last year. It is a useful progression towards jumping to the high bar in level 4. An underswing dismount was used in the previous compulsory L3 routine. My daughter did the underswing straddled in pre-team.

My daughter started out in Xcel and the squat on was her dismount in Bronze. At that level it seemed like a reasonable dismount and is a good foundational skill for moving forward.

This is the dismount level three does at our gym as well. Level 2 does a sole circle dismount.
