    Women Floor Music Debate

    I need some tie-breaking votes for my floor music next season! My current floor music is by Lindsey Sterling. I really love the “Sugar Plum Fairy” option but I’ve proven to myself that I’m not the best lyrical dancer. Option 1: Sugar Plum Fairy by Lindsey Sterling Option 2: Dance the Night...

    Parents Beam full turns

    Based on what my coach has told me, foot can be at ankle and arms can be down at sides without deductions.

    Women Platinum Bar Routine

    Will this give me a 9.7 SV? Kip Cast (is this above or to horizontal?) Back hip circle Squat on Tap swing/counter swing Level four dismount + half turn I’m not sure if I would need a second back hip circle.

    Women Xcel Diamond Bars

    I might be wrong, I don’t think you will get credit for the second cast/free hip. Most likely you need a different entry. You could probably do the free hip on the high bar to get the credit.

    Women Snow storm and meets

    How are meets affected when there is a snow storm? I have a meet next week and there’s around 12-17 inches of snow the night before. Would the meet be cancelled, moved to a different weekend, or simply just be skipped?

    Women Minimum # of Meets

    Is there a national/region/state wide rule that xcel gymnasts have to attend a certain number of meets to qualify for states?

    Women Grips what should I do

    I don’t think there’s much to do before going to the gym. Personally, I would just open them from the package and take them to the gym. Your coaches could probably help you break them in.

    Women B value skill on beam

    I’m not sure what a lever is, but some acro B skills are round offs, BHS step out, front walkovers, I think FHS step out too. If she’s competing next weekend, I think front pike dismount, 1.5 turn, or tuck 1/2 jump would be easier to put in.

    Gymnasts Goals for 2025?

    Usually I’m quite score driven, but this year my goal is to have fun, and not care about the scores. Just trying to loosen up at meets and not glue my eyes to the scoreboard after my routine.

    Women XP bars dismount

    https://static.usagym.org/PDFs/Women/Committee%20Minutes/NXC/nxc_ntc_051623.pdf Is the tap swing 1/2 turn 1/2 dismount still an allowable dismount for XP? Has anyone competed this?

    Women Clear hips

    I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’m a platinum who struggles with dropping from the clear hip. Only other way I’ve seen an exit of a clear hip is on the high bar + dismount. From what I’ve seen on another post, it should be allowed but the only problem would that it may not be counted.

    Parents Vault deduction question

    I may be wrong, but I think L6 vaults are a round off/half on while L7 vaults are yurchenko timers.

    Women Kips

    I keep bringing my knees up to the bar instead of my toes in my kip. How do I bring my toes instead (gliding out more, shooting my feet up more)? Also any general kip tips? I’m so inconsistent and recently they haven’t been working. What helped you guys get your kips? Any tips, techniques, etc...

    Women Dilemma

    I think I could get bars down in two months. I wouldn’t mind my score, but I’m sure my coaches would if I get those throughout the season. All my teammates are doing three kips in their routines, and a clear hip.

    Women Dilemma

    Currently, I’m working towards platinum. My noticeable trouble spot is bars. I can’t kip, and my free hip is somewhat there. I’m above or meet the requirements on the other events. I have a meet coming up in November, and I know that I won’t have a bar routine put together by then. Is it...
