DD selected floor music from a list her coaches recommended. So excited for her as we are starting her choreography over spring break, which gives her about 9 months to perfect it before she competes it! My question is do you share selections with friends from other gyms that are usually in...
What is the deduction for being ahead of music? My daughter had to pause for a bit for music to catch up because she went to quickly. She still did great after performing her first floor routine after getting off her back brace for stress fracture. She did not even know she was competing floor.
Many people would argue that the 17 year old Japanese gymnast's 7.4 D-score performance to win the 2013 Antwerp Worlds was one of the most dazzling and exciting examples of a Floor routine in gymnastics history. But is it? Sure, the ability to twist 24 times in total in a routine, including...
Hi! My dd is a level 3 and is scoring lower on her floor routines so far this year compared to last year. Yes, I know they are much different routines, etc. but I would love some feedback other than from her coaches.
Let me know and I will PM it to you. Thanks!
For those of you who have kids compete the same optional floor routine for 2 years (to save their parents from having to pay choreography/music fees every year), what do you plan to do from L6-7 since the time limits are different? I'm tossing around a few ideas that would all work, but I'm...
Hi all,
I have noticed in my gym that some level 3's are doing their entire floor routine right, but doing their split left? Is there a deduction for this? Or is it better to take a deduction for the wrong side split if the split goes all the way down (some girls only have left split all the...
I finally got to see some of the new Level 3 floor routine today. They started working on them a couple of weeks ago, but my DD was out that whole week for camp, then her gym was closed all last week for the 4th. I like the routine. It has some really pretty elements. I haven't heard the...
I just want to be certain I'm understanding this correctly...
Level 6 floor length is 1:15. level 7 (and all higher levels) is 1:30. But if a gymnast does a 1:30 floor routine in Level 6, she will only lose .10 for being overtime, correct?
Assuming the above is correct, does anyone else think...
DD learned it today. She hasn't done it to the music yet; but knows the routine and showed it to me at the end of practice. I think it is a lot prettier than her AAU 3 routine from last year. She really likes it too. :-)
I also think that what I have seen of the beam routine is prettier.:p
My apologies if this thread is in the wrong location - I wanted to post it in archived competitions but the only thread that shows up for me there is the 2012 Olympics.
I know this is a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone knew whose floor routine was set to "Money" on day 1 of the women's...
I was wondering if there is a deduction for moving your front foot in the ending pose of the USAG level 4 floor routine. I thought I read somewhere that you can't move your front foot. I might be wrong, though. My coaches picked my ending pose:( and it requires me to slide my front foot back to...
In my teammate's floor routine she has one arm up by her head and one straight out in front of her and her legs are sort of in a lunge but all of her weight is on her back foot and she twists her hands twice and on the second time she bends her back knee (sorry for the complicated explanation...
Not really a brag at all, but nothing else on this silly pre-fix list fits...
Daughter got back from gym about an hour ago and she was bursting with excitement, because she's finally getting her own floor routine.
When she joined the club in April she'd only competed a couple of basic routines...
I have a curious (non-obsessive) question about these 2 floor routines.
There was nearly a full point difference in the 2, and I just don't see the differences-however, I am not a judge, nor very good at spotting the intricacies involved.
But I am curious...:p
She is a level 5 age 9 if that...
L4 DD is allowed to pick her own ending pose, now that she's got her ROBH on the floor. Some of the girls are coming up with some really cute ideas, like blowing kisses, thumbs up, etc. DD isn't so creative, so we're looking for some suggestions! She just turned 7 and is still considered one...
I just received DDs floor music for the year and its so short. Its 1:07 long. I am not sure if she is competing 8 or 9 yet but wanted to know what the rules say about routine length.
Ugh, I need another new floor routine.
There are 4 different music options I like, but I'm still open to listen to more.
Has anyone used energym (I think I spelled that wrong)? How much money is it? And, is it easy to use, legal, and all that other stuff? Also, does it have some good choices? I...
I just started back up in gymnastics after quitting for 7 years. My gym instructors are trying to teach me the level 6 floor routine, but I am a slow learner with the dancy stuff. Does anyone know where I can find a video of somebody teaching it slowly? I am talking about this routine...
Hello,
My daughter is starting her second year at a new gym. She is a second year level 9. She has had 3 tumbling passes since level 7(routines given by her old coach). She is getting a new floor routine this year and her new coach wants to give all of the girls only 2 tumbling passes. He says...
