    Women Deduction on beam

    I have a friend who after her mount she lays over the end of the beam with her back arched and arms out. It looks really pretty! But in order to do this she hooks her feet on the bottom of the beam. She DOES NOT touch the metal supports of the beam. Is this a deduction?

    I feel stupid for having to just start a thread for this, but my coach said for level 3, you needed a "partial cross handstand". What's that?

    Parents Does anyone know the new level 2 beam routine for August 2013?

    My DD is in a very large group and doesn't get help like she needs. She only goes 1 day a week and can't get the routine down. They only practice beam about 20 minutes.

    Women Connections on beam - extra swings

    Dd was talking about connections on beam for future years and it got me thinking.
