    MAG Connection question

    My son was wondering if this could receive a connection bonus. He did a triple Russian on floor and immediately flaired to handstand and flaired back down. Is it a connection going directly from the triple Russian to flair? Or are these considered two separate skills? Thanks!

    WAG Kip connection

    I'm struggling with connecting something out of a kip. I can do a baby cast out of a kip on the low bar but that's not enough for a cast handstand. I can't even connect a squat on for some reason - I always end my kip with my hips away from the bar and pushing down on the bar which is probably...

    Coaches Handstand Roll to Forward Roll Connection (and others)

    Hey all! In the "Handstand Roll to Forward Roll" connection, are they meant to stand up fully between them or just raise up to a crouch from the handstand roll and then roll out of that? For the cartwheel into backwalkover, do they land on both feet in the cartwheel, then put feet together...

    WAG Level 9 Acro series connection with side Ariel

    Hey I’m a level 8 gymnast tryna go 9 next season but am struggling to find an acro series. I did backwalk backhand as my series this year, and was gonna do backhand back layout for 9. The whole reason I didn’t put backhand backhand in my 8 beam routine is because I place my hands really weird...

    Parents Connection on Bars

    DD is struggling to connect the timing for her bars rountine. She pauses between each skill. She said you have to almost think about what your doing before you do it. Which as fast as girls go on bars I am sure to some level you do have to. I told her maybe visualize the routine before...

    Parents Quick beam connection credit question

    So, as those who read my recent “Hello Old Friends” thread know, my DD is having a rough time in the gym. Not surprisingly, this translated into a rough first meet today. DD has been struggling (fear) with her beam connection — the same one she has competed for more than a year — which could be...

    WAG FIG connection bonus

    I keep seeing a cat leap linked to free cartwheel on the beam. A top club has proudly posted one of their young elites doing this combination tonight. But I can't see any connection or bonus for it if the rules are that it must be D + A in that order. My DD enjoys doing it, but can't tell me...

    WAG Level 7 beam - deduction for missing acro connection?

    I think the title says it all. More details, my DD's acro series is CW-RO. This past meet, she had a big balanced check after CW, then another big balance check after RO. So my guess is, the deduction for these two balance checks was around 0.5 total, but then another deduction was added for...

    Parents Help for level 8 front tuck -front pike/layout connection

    Hi, my daughter is competing level 8 this year and she is really struggling with her front tuck front pike on floor. Her front tuck is nice and so is her front handsping-front pike. When she does the first front tuck though it seems like she just gets no “rebound” for the second one, so the...

    WAG Level 9 connection bonus

    I was wondering if my level 9 does a front handspring connected to a Front full on floor, does she get the A-C connection? Or do we need to add a front tuck to the end for the C-A connection? Thanks!

    We are going to be in the Chicago area over Christmas (actually south about an hour). Dd will be out of the gym for 2 weeks and then we are literally flying back home straight to her first meet of the season.

    WAG Level 9 Bar connection bonus question

    Hey! I have another USAG level 9 question about connection bonus (this time for bars) If one of my gymnasts competed a free hip handstand into a double back dismount, does she get the connection bonus, or not because the second skill is her dismount?

    Hi everyone :D I have been working really hard on connecting a kip to a big cast - and I'm still struggling a little. I can hit horizontal on low bar now - which is fine, but I want to make it bigger. High bar I get a small cast and then have to do a second cast to hit a little over horizontal...

    WAG beam skill connection question...

    And I'm just too lazy to ask the hc, lol. My dd can do flick lay and flick bt, is there a difference in value? Hc really wants the flick lay, but dd says flick bt is easier and less scary. This would be l9. Any preferences to what would be better...score better...advance better?
