    Women JO Code changes 2018-2022

    Thank you. I should have mentioned, I am Canadian, so we don’t need to score out of levels and our club usually goes right from L4 to L6.

    Women JO Code changes 2018-2022

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what would be the deduction if someone did the L4 bars dismount rather than flyaway for L6? Am I right to assume that this is likely to be the most difficult skill for most new L6s? (Aside from the new vault- I can’t even let myself thing about that!)

    Parents Extra Activity Ideas

    If Aeriel silks are an option in your area, you might want to check it out. We find it to be a fun, low stress way to use (and probably build on) all that upper body and core strength + flexibility.

    Women Activating glutes

    I have this issue and have been going to physio for it. I second the glute bridges. Also squats, perhaps adding a jump at the top. If she has trouble sitting back into the squat and tends to lean ahead, get her to touch her butt down on a low bench. If she has trouble with glute activation...

    Parents Lots of new questions

    Re meal ideas- on gym days we always give my kids a hot thermos meal of leftovers for school lunch so I know they had one good solid meal for the day. Then they get a snack on the way to gym, at gym, and after gym. They get typical lunch food - waffles (we make and freeze whole grain ones), pb...

    Women The next big skills (beyond compulsaries)

    Thanks- this is a useful list. I have a hard time seeing my DDs do many of these!!fyi- I'm in Canada and we don't need to score out of any level so that is why I said we didn't do level 5.

    Women The next big skills (beyond compulsaries)

    I can clearly see the skills needed for compulsary levels, but after the level 4 skills, what are the next "big skills" to look forward to? I realize that each kid will find certain skills harder/easier, but are there some typical level 6 skills that most kids will work towards? Thanks!

    Women World Gymnastics Championships Montreal 2017

    I would love to hear restaurant recommendations, too. We plan to go to this obstacle/ropes course Link Removed and maybe this one, too (right at Olympic Park) Link Removed. I am thinking these would be attractive to many of the gymmie spectators.
