    My dd has been sick with a bad chest cold for more than a week. As a result she is truly exhausted. She missed two practices ago, only made it though half the last, and I'm not sure she will be able to practice tomorrow. The next day is state comp L4. Any advice on whether or not to compete...

    Minimum ages to compete USAG levels

    Lots of people have been asking about how old their dd has to be to compete various levels and does their age on the day of the meet count or their age on the day of the state meet count for this. So I thought I would copy across the info from USAG to make things clear. There are minimum ages...

    TO COMPETE OR NOT COMPETE... missing skills

    This is a thread similar to Level 5 Bar Deduction Question in Technical Talk. The general issue of the thread was gathering opinions as to compete as a Level 5 knowing a gymnast could not successfully complete kips or not, and what would be the deductions. I also am facing this question with a...

    Parents Finally DD will get to compete!

    So we got a schedule for 3 meets in the spring. DD will be 6 so she's eligible to compete finally. The first meet is in Cancun and we won't go to that one. It's way too much money to spend for a first meet at Level 4. The other two are more reasonable. Both are really big invites. I...

    Parents skills and when to compete

    As it is only August and our first meet isn't until November, I am deciding with the coaches help as to when each daughter should begin the season. Oldest-has her level 4 beam routine down, vault is looking much better, she has bars(little weak on front hip but can do it, but is struggling with...

    to Compete, or to not Compete, That is The question.

    Hey there, this is my first, and I think this is where this topic would belong, but forgive me if it's not. :) So I've been doing male artistic gymnastics for about 2 years now (I'm 13 years old), and now I have the option to compete. But here's the thing... well, things. Number one is that...

    Coaches Why train/compete/require these skills?

    This is 2 questions really. British Grade 13 beam set dismount is a round off from the beam (hands on beam, feet to floor). As I understand, a round off should finish off balance leaning backwards, to accellerate into the next movement. On floor for the same grade the round off goes straight...

    Wants to train hard but not compete

    Hi I am a gymastics fan from Connecticut. My daughter was training to compete at level 4, but didn't want to do it anymore because "it wasn't fun anymore and I get tired of working on the same stuff over and over." She wants to train but not compete and it seems like if you do not compete you...

    Parents "I don't want to compete..." :(

    My daughter, who just turned 13, is going through this phase (I hope) where she doesn't want to compete. Earlier in the year she didn't want to go to practice. Now she seems ok with that and chose to sign up for a couple meets. However, the last meet and now one coming up this weekend she...

    compete a level again or wait for next level

    Does anyone have an opinion on whether it is better to repeat a level for another year if not ready for the next level? My daughter made a quick jump going from level 4 to 7 in one year. She has competed 2 1/2 years at level 7 but isn't quite ready for 8. (She is having trouble with giants...

    Too old to compete?

    Hi, so I started gymnastics last month. I am progressing extremely fast. I am as good as the other girls in my class who have been there for atleast one year. I was in gymnastics from age 3-7 and I somehow kept my flexibility and a lot of skills. I know that I'll have the necessary skills to be...
