    We're just getting started in competitions and I'm curious of the deduction for a fall....it was on her dismount and she got back up and re-did the dismount correctly. What is the deduction for this? Thanks for your help:)

    Parents Please send some beam fairies....

    to Pennsylvania! Olivia is all but freaking out about her BWO on beam. At practice Saturday she was fine until she got up on the high beam to do her BWO. She gets teary eyed and you can just see the fear in her face. It breaks my heart to see her like that. Her coach is so good about it...

    Teaching Back Extension Roll on Beam

    Yes? No? This is a pre-emptive post because I haven't tried yet either, but I don't really understand how this skill will work most effectively. I guess I gather that it is going to be bent arm and the kid wants their hands placed kind of behind their head (yes? no? when I do a back extension my...

    How long is a beam?

    For Christmas, I am asking my parents for a floor beam. I already have a low beam, but it isn't as long as a real beam is. I want a floor beam so I can work on upper level skills :). But I see beams in all these magazines/internet that are 8, 9, or 12 feet long. So my question is...how long...

    Are there any good beam choreographers on here?

    I do high school gymnastics and I have to make up my own routine. The problem is that I suck at making up poses and little dancey things. :( Is anyone good at making up routines? If you are... would you make one for me? You would be my hero! It would mean soooo much to me! The skills that need...

    Level 8/9 Beam Mount

    My DD competed Level 8 last and her beam mount was some kind of swing onto beam, never could find it in the code of points, but I believed she got credit for an A element. This year I heard that beam mounts will have to be directly "out of the code of elements" to get credit. Is this true? Can...

    Level 7/8 beam series

    Hey there, I seem to remember someone saying earlier this year that a series of RO, RO or CW, CW, or CW, RO wouldn't be allowed anymore because technically they cannot be directly connected. Can anyone confirm or debunk this?
