    Yes, it’s published. It’s mostly the same as before: minor differences and clarifications with the things I listed above part of the “composition credit” added to start value and other stuff (lack of a dance series on BB, failure to tumble/acro both fwd/sideways and backward on BB and FX, ext.)...

    Okay...I bought it. I just started skimming, but the main differences I see thus far are: Level 6 floor now requires two tumbling passes: each with directly connected flight-elements and a different salto (or 2nd pass option: isolated B salto) - I was hoping for this change as I thought the...

    Women Round Off On Beam Pain

    It might be easier to put a pad on the beam than a pad on her foot. Does her gym have/use beam pads?

    Women Double stag jumps and split angle

    Double stag jumps DO NOT fill the split angle requirement. It has to be a leap or jump with a cross or side split and the front leg must be extended. In other words: ring leap = okay, stag jump or double stuck jump = not okay. A few other things she migth want to try: sometimes gymnasts are...

    Women Glide swing - full extension?

    I am attaching a screenshot from USA Gymnastics showing the line drawing for a glide + return to stand. You’ll see in the drawing how the gymnasts’ bottom is squeezed a little more and the hips are “flatter.” I don’t know what program your daughter competes in (maybe U.K. becuase you said dish...

    Women Beam progressions and struggles

    My take: a back handspring on beam is not a prerequisite for a back tuck on beam. I have plenty of gymnasts who, for assorted reasons, never seriously trained BHS on beam (shoulder flexibility, injury history, mental block) but could do a standing tuck with no issues. Back tuck (“C” acro) is...

    Gymnasts 2 Pass Level 8 Floor

    Yes, this tumbling would fill level 8 requirements with no composition deductions.

    Gymnasts 2 Pass Level 8 Floor

    The tumbling described would fill the tumbling special requirements (and assuming all other requirements are filled) would lead to a 10.0 start value flashed. However, this routine would incur a 0.10 compostition deduction for “salto elements not up to competitive level.” In order to recieve no...

    Parents Scoring out level 4 & 5

    I’ve also heard of gymnasts not being able to compete at States after it was discovered that they hadn’t properly qualified for the level.

    Parents New to XCel Bronze - Crying?

    ADDING ONE MORE THING from a coach’s perspective : If she is melting down mid-practice, is she drinking enough water? Could her coach remind her/everyone to hydrate? Does she need a snack? Many gyms run 2-4 hour practices without a snack break, but sometimes they (especially the younger ones)...

    Parents New to XCel Bronze - Crying?

    I just want to chime in from a coaches perspective and reiterate two things: First, transitions are just hard for some people. I am thinking of a gymnast who cried and clung to her her mom’s leg at the start of every practice and competition until she was 8. That goodbye/transition was always...
