Thanks John and she did end up qualifying for states at least! She actually won first on floor sticking her whip 1/2 punch layout the first time out! Talk about ups and downs! Literally!

Yes my level 8 recently scored a 5 on bars...a 5! She made her release move but couldn't complete an "easy" giant. She fell like 3 times. Then she left out a full turn on beam by accident. Got a 7 something. Plus her little crush came to watch! On to to the next one...

When my gymmie came back after 2 weeks off, she was super sore because it was a big conditioning day. Her skills were all fine but we still laugh about it because we went camping the next weekend and she couldn't even ride her bike and was walking like a cowboy. The next practice coach said...

Also remember when looking at levels that there was the Great Level Change that bumped the compulsory levels down. It is very likely that the level 10s you researched that competed level 3 started before the Change. Level 2 is now the equivalent of 3. I dont think level 1 even existed as a...

DD put a long piece of Duct tape on the floor as her beam. It REALLY helped. I don't think she would have made it to level 8 without it! Worth the investment :)

Our level 10s wear big bows and one won "best hair" for the region! She rocked that bow and regionals too!

Please add me! TY

All the ones at DD's gym!

My duagnter who has always struggled with bars, got a shootover and double back at camp. Sbe said tbey are easy! She usually takes a while to get new skills but she picked tbem up very quickly. It is wonderful to see ber excited about bars for once!

I once sat next to a floor judge at level 10 regionals who told me she "may have overlooked" some things because the showmanship was so outstanding.

Thanks everyone! Hers is a B for sure.

How about jump to high bar from other side using spring? Can level 7 do a pirouette? It could be like a boys high bar routine. Interesting.

Would doing the double back help at all? I'm thinking perhaps judges will be less harsh on the kip cast handstand. Also, is a cast handstand required? If not could a gymnast even get around doing it? My DD thinks I'm so dumb when I ask her this stuff!
