    Women Level 10 scoring poorly on beam

    My dd is a first year level 10. She is scoring poorly on beam although she has a very competitive routine. For example she had one fall in her last routine and scored a 7.6. This was not the case last year in level 9. Has anyone had this experience in level 10? She is very upset about it. Thanks.

    Ok so I am a assistant coach and for a few weeks one of the gymnasts I coach has been crying in the washroom when we go to beam. She never tells me but you can see like when someone has that look on their face that they were crying and she had that look. So I coach 3 or 5 other gymnasts...

    Women Balance beam mat height

    I was at practicing with a 8 inch mat under the beam, and my coach said that it wasn’t allowed and I could only have a thinner mat under neath for meets (I think it was 4 inches). I was confused when I was told this because I’ve always competed with an 8 inch mat underneath the beam. Did they...

    Women Level 9 beam questions

    Would a handstand on beam fulfill the front/side acro requirement in level 9? If not, any ideas on how to fulfill this requirement? She is not flexible enough to do a front walkover or front aerial.

    Women Beam Mount Question DP level 6

    Weird question: Can a back extension roll be used as a beam mount? The gymnast would stand on the floor, back to the beam, and then do a back extension roll to handstand and then lay their stomach on the beam to get to front support on the beam. The reason I ask is one of my gymnasts wants it...

    Anon L9 beam

    Can you repeat the same C skill in the routine? DD is planning to do BHS BT along with a split jump back tuck. Is it okay to do two back tucks in the routine or does she need a different acro skill?
