Sounds like it could be a fast track situation, which could consist of a scoring out of 5 following Level 4 season with transition to Level 6/7 in January.Yep! Totally possible. We live in an area where Compulsory season is in the fall and Optionals is in the Spring. Do you know if you do? If so, then that gives you a lot of time between season 4 ending and Level 7 season beginning to get ready.
Here's how our gym transitions all girls from Compulsaries to Optionals:
Oct-Dec: Compete Level 4
Following Oct-Dec: Compete Level 5
Jan-April: Compete Level 7
So, if they are just going to have her score out of 5 versus competing the whole season, it will actually be even more likely for her to be ready for Level 7 by the next January. Does that make sense?
have they already competed 4?Thx everyone! Great information gonna share with the parents
Perfect thx!Yes, you only need one score out at L5, which in NY is a 32
Do they have to score out L5 to do L6 or just L7Yes, you only need one score out at L5, which in NY is a 32
Do they have to score out L5 to do L6 or just L7
BHS on beam may be an individual gym requirement, but it is NOT a USAG requirement.Totally possible....Level 5 and 6 are very similar...all levels are mandatory EXCEPT Level 6....
The toughest skills going from 4-6 will be
freehip- IMO the hardest......it MUST be at or above horizontal.
Casthandstands.
BHS on beam....
flyaway.....(but this is more a fear thing)
IF the child is well on their way with these skills, then the Giants would naturally be the next step and would then dictate if L7 is the goal.
The biggest change in thinking with going from compulsories to optional besides the fear factor is that the skills take a longer time to master......so giants in one month are NOT the same as giants in 6 months. Casthandstands take a LONG time to be able to control.....The evolution of the skill is what matters and how quickly the kid gets them and progresses dictates if the jump is possible.
Yes that is what concerns the parents!There are many gyms in our area that do this. I would say that besides the one super selective power gym the others that do it usually see the kids repeat level 6/7 that following year , meaning 2 years at those levels.
Yes and a giant is not a USAG requirement for level 7BHS on beam may be an individual gym requirement, but it is NOT a USAG requirement.
Yes that is what concerns the parents!
Yes that is what concerns the parents!
Repeating a level or doing 5/6 and seven is pretty much the same difference. They all get to where they are supposed to be.Yes that is what concerns the parents!
