    WAG Exceeding requirements in compulsories

    Is there a deduction for this?? I can't imagine that there is, but maybe I'm wrong... A coach from another gym who went to congress (I did not go) and learned the routines from Tom Koll himself keeps telling me that he said if the athlete exceeds the requirement in the text, they will revive a...

    WAG Elite Compulsory

    Does a gymnast have to do her elite compulsory routine every year even when she has already gotten the qualifying score the first time? I think she may have to unless at one point she qualifies for a specific elite meet. Can someone explain this and is that meet the U.S. Classic that she has...

    Parents What does compulsories mean?

    I have seen this word come up on Chalk Bucket before and wondered what it means and how it relates to gymnastics. Does it relate to some sort of level or some sort of set routine within a level, sorry if it seems like a silly question, I really don't have much idea about the "other side of...

    WAG Scoring better in optionals than compulsories?

    My daughter will be competing level 7 this year. She was pretty good at lower levels, but not dynamite. We have been told that the coaches believe she will shine at L7 because she won't be doing cookie cutter routines. She is good on bars, beam, and vault, but just ok on floor. She is a great...

    WAG Will the new compulsory changes also impact the optionals?

    I've been hearing about new changes to entry of jumps in the compulsory routines. I haven't seen the new routines as my compulsory level daughter had last week off. But if the entry into jumps has changes in the compulsory routines, will the judges be looking for the same types of entry by the...

    Coaches Compulsory Floor Music

    Just need to vent...why is it so bad?? I used to think the really old Level 6 music I used (what some refer to as the "funeral music") was bad. Sadly, it seems that is my favorite of the past 20 years. It seems to me they go about it all wrong. It looks like they make the routine and then find...
