    Women Level 8 beam & floor requirements

    Can someone clarify the level 8 allowable/required skills on beam and floor? Our girls have been working back tucks on beam, but the coaches are now saying that only C dance skills are allowed on beam & floor. No C acro. This contradicts my understanding from previous threads on here. I have...

    Women RO and BHS in same beam routine?

    Can you do say a BWO/BHS series and then a RO/BT dismount in a level 6 or 7 beam routine? Then for the jumps a split leap split/ jump combo or is that too many "b" elements? All in the same routine. Just wondering not saying that is the plan or anything DD was just asking.

    1st Somersault on beam

    DD is competing her front on beam for first time tomorrow.....eeeek . Was going to do flick-tuck as well, but this has been removed as still using a mat. So that's one less thing to worry about. I will pass the camcorder to dad and close my eyes !!

    Women New level 4 and 5 beam.

    I just have a quick question about the level 4 and 5 beam routines. Right after the mount there is kind of an 'arm circles' thing as you stand up. I learned the level 5 you do a full circle and then pose verse level 4 is kind of a one arm then pose. The videos are posted here...

    Women Front Tuck with a Half on Beam

    So my daughter was pulling up old videos and found a routine with Vanessa Atler where she did a front tuck half on beam. It was very cool, but I don't think I've seen anyone else do it. Does it just not have enough value or is it deceptively hard? Just curious since I technically know nothing...

    Women "I need to get my back walkover on beam!"

    My little one brought her little foam roll-up beam out of the closet last night at 10:00. I said, "Sweetie, why are you getting that out right now?" She replied, "I need to get my back walkover on beam!" I said, "Why? You don't need that skill for this next level." She gave me the look and...

    Coaches Chalking the beam

    Can compulsory kids do this in a meet? I've always allowed kids to chalk their hands or feet if they need to, but I have a kid in class that feels like she needs to chalk the beam for her full turn...is this allowed in a meet? Also, what about the runway for vault? I know that you can't stick a...

    Women Cartwheel on beam - realistic goal?

    As some of you may have read, my coach is leaving soon. I have been working on a bunch of skills with her, and it makes me sad to think that she won't be here to see me get them. I've decided I want to get one more skill with her before she leaves, and I think the one I am closest too is getting...

    Women Back Handspring on Beam - Trouble with hands on.

    We've just started doing back handsprings on beam. We've done drills (Back handsprings up to panel mats and others) and now we've started trying them with mats stacked up so it's not quite even with the beam, but high enough so you won't crash if your hands don't land on the beam. Well my back...

    Women Backwalkover fear on beam

    I have recently developed a fear on beam with backwalkovers! I used to be able to do these fine but then my mind freaked out and now I can't get my self to go backwards even on low beam! Any suggestions on how to get myself to go backwards? Thanks!

    Coaches new 2013 L3 beam handstand.

    In the new elements for L3 (would be old l4) Do the girls do a split handstand on beam, or do a full HS and show a split before stepping down? Some of the descriptions are not to clear ;)
