She is an amazing gymnast. My DD (who at 9 yrs old is not much younger than yours -- but not on any kind of elite track) loves watching Lily on Youtube. Thanks for sharing her journey

Beautiful! Can you explain to me what a compulsory qualifier is? My daughter is a level 4 and I am still learning all of the different terms. Thank you

The girls that are trying to qualify elite must get a compulsory qualifying score (compulsory is like levels 3 4 and 5 where all girls do the exact same routines). At a compulsory hopes qualifier meet all the girls compete the exact same routines on all 4 events and there isn’t any music during the floor routine. The judges are looking for form and power in the skills. The compulsory qualifier is judged using the JO 10 point system. The girls also try to qualify in an optional qualifier which is where they do their level 9 or 10 JO routine but with much harder skills thrown in. This meet is judged on the FIG scoring system.

@FlippinLilysMom -- is your daughter competing at Twisted Moose?

Thank you for the information! Would a gymnast do this before advancing to optionals?

Optionals like levels 6 through 10??

I have watched a few elite compulsory qualifier videos on youtube. Does anyone know why I see differences in some of the routines?

Example Trinity Thomas did an FHS LO LO on the floor where others do FHS LO FP? I took compulsory to mean everyone did the same routines.

These meets are for the girls who are already in optionals at level 9 or 10 and want to go on to Elite

There are 3 different levels so the hopes girls all do the same then the junior elite girls all do the same and the senior elite girls all do the same. I’m guessing she was trying to qualify as a senior??

There are a few options/choices available in some parts of the compulsory routines. For example: UB - can do two clear hips, stalders, toe shoots or combinations of one of each. Beam - back tuck or pike, FHS or FWO. FX - Front pass can be FHS/FLO/FLO or pike, or just FLO/front pike. Last back pass can be layout 1/2 or 1 1/2.

I am sure she will qualify next time! Did any of the girls on her team pull it off? Fingers crossed.

3 of the 5 (including Lily) got their compulsory qualifying scored but none of them got their optional score. Will try again in 2 weeks in North Carolina.
