compulsory

:: USA Gymnastics :: Women's Artistic Gymnastics While I like some of the new themes in the L5 and L6, I still find it a bit choppy to me. I do like the L6 more but perhaps I'm so used to the old music ( I like the L6 music and can deal with the L5 music grudgingly ) I don't like some of the...

Back when I posted my thread about how I hate hollow casts, Rick McCharles posted about my post on his blog. A heated discussion followed in the comments section, in which I briefly touched on similar issues I have with the progression used by USAG to teach a front handspring vault. So I'm going...

So yesterday at dd's practice they had a conditioning test! Coaches came up with a point system and they were tested on several things. They gave out 6 metals out of 30 compulsory girls. First up was pull ups/chin ups with straight legs and chin must come over the bar. Liv did 15 but only 14...

Level 4 compulsory was a good season for us. Sam is a first year L4 and had 5 competitions this year. She has worked very hard and her focus this year has been exceptional. She has competed since L2 and has amazed me with her desire to progress. She wrapped up the season with an average score...

Ah, just back from a great week before the state meet practice! My L3's are looking solid and consistent, heavily favored to win state by a considerable margin. My 4's are FINALLY putting it all together, including my DD's front hip circle and a teammate that has also made them in practices...

What skills does your gym require gymnasts to have at each of the compulsory USAG WAG levels? (In other words, list things in Level 4 that they must have to move up to Level 5?) Please take the time to answer in the format below... Level 4 Vault Bars Beam Floor Trampoline Strength & Flex...

Any boys coaches out there.....Anyone have any opinios on the new routines for boys?? I have DS definately done with L4. L5 seems quite challenging...It seems like with the bonuses, there is a lot of room for awesomeness....

and have you ever had a situation where you child was ready to move up but there weren't enough slots? My DD is at tryout camp this week and I think that she has a good chance of making the team. I think that she would make the team no problem if they weren't under a numbers crunch. Our level 4...

Another mom in the gym just told me that all of the compulsory routines and music are going to change at the end of this year. I thought these routines stayed until 2013. Are the routines or music changing this year? Thanks for the info.

Are the compulsory routines changing next season? I thought they were good until 2013 but a friend of mine said they change each olympic year.

Just wanted to let you know how my daughter did at the TN Compulsory State meet yesterday. She is a 7yr old level 5. She place 1st on vault with a 9.700,1st on Bars with a 9.625,1st on beam with a 9.375 and 1st on floor with a 9.650. She took 1st all-around with a 38.350. We are so very...

How much FULL floor time do the compulsory teams get at your gyms? Not combined. For example, how much time does the Level 5 team get on FULL floor per week. Not all the compulsory teams added together.

Does anybody know of a good site that describes the different compulsory routines? My niece is Level 5 and her best friend is a Level 4. I don't get to hang out at the gym anymore because of my job, so I'm not there to see exactly what the coaches are showing the girls. It seems they are...

Do High School teams in your area compete optional or compulsory routines? Here in California most teams compete Level 5 Comp. for JV, and Level 6 for Varsity. When I competed we were able to do optional routines and it was awesome because it gave gymnasts who were having a hard time...

iyNmOiK73lA Here is a great video from the 1985 Worlds...this is the compulsory round. I remember watching the compulsories in the 1988 Olympics, it added such a level of perfection to gymnastics. In compulsories everything had to be perfect, no bobbles...every landing stuck. It was...
