    Women Split leap floor and beam drills?

    My team is relatively weak on their split leaps and split jumps on both beam and floor. There are several problems. I have several that have good height and good split but their legs are bending getting the split position. Kind of a stag but it's certainly not a lift straight up with front or...

    Women Xcel floor music help

    I am making a routine for a 13 year old Xcel silver gymnast. She is very tall and fairly graceful but is slow twitch in her tumbling and hasn't been doing gymnastics very long. Her dance is not great so I can't make it too fancy even though she does things very pretty. Any ideas for some music...

    Parents DIY Floor Bar

    Anyone here ever make one? And, if so, are you willing to share specs with me? Seems a reasonably safe at-home apparatus for conditioning/play don't y'all agree?

    Women sifting through FLOOR MUSIC......

    Going crazy! So far what my daughter has picked was not OK'ed. She picked music from the Squirrel Nut Zippers, some gypsy music, and some weird electro- swing stuff......I love what she picked. Coach feels what she picked is too old for her and she wants something a bit 'younger' I guess. Alice...

    Women Level 4 floor critique, please?

    States are coming up soon, and her highest score all season has been 8.3. She watched the video, and she doesn't see anything wrong. I don't see any obvious mistakes either. She says the coach doesn't give her many corrections at practices, or she just doesn't remember them, I don't know. If...

    Women more floor music L4 and up

    My daughter is currently Level 4/Xcel Silver. She has floor music. Trying to be proactive. Next year she will be Level 5 and Xcel. At what USAG Level do they get custom floor. I am trying to budget and decide, do we keep current floor music for another year or 2 or start thinking about...

    Women Floor music - overused? (overwhelmed!!!)

    We don't go to many optional meets, so I have no clue what's flooding the meets, or might be good for DD (she will be either XcelGold or L6) She is not one of the kind of girls that I can picture doing 5 straddle leaps in a row (I know that wouldn't happen anyway, but I'm trying to set the stage...

    Women Floor music - where do you get yours?

    DD will be moving out of compulsories at the end of this season (either Xcel or L6 next year) and needs floor music. We were told to bring in 3-5 and let coach decide which would work best for each child. She has been SCOURING energym, and of course has found no less than 40 that are her...

    Women Floor music length for 6 vs. 7

    Okay, level 6 is 1:15 and level 7 is allowed up to 1:30. Could a gymnast use a 1:15 in level 7 and get everything in she needed to? Basically, if a gymnast competed both 6 and 7, could the same floor music/same cut get used for both seasons?

    Women Level 3 floor exercise question

    I have a question about one of the elements in the L3 floor routine. The backwards straight arm roll to what looks like a push up position to me. Earlier this week I saw them running the routines at the end of practice and little bit is doing the full on back extension roll. Hitting the...

    Women Required length of Level 6 floor routine

    Hi all! Just an observation and quick question. At a meet over the weekend, Dd competed against a Level 6 team that had extremely short floor routines. I didn't time them, but they were definitely shorter than the norm. Despite this, the team all scored extremely well on floor (mid 9's). Is...

    Women Level 6 Floor & beam question

    My DD had her first level 6 meet this weekend, my husband and I both thought she fell coming out of her side leap (after her first tumbling pass). When I asked her she said she's supposed to roll on the floor like that, but am I wrong in thinking she got deducted for a fall there?? She scored a...

    Women Xcel new changes- lower start value on Floor Routine?

    Hey guys. At my meet on Saturday, us Xcel Silvers performed our floor routines just like at the previous meet in late december, where we started out of a 10.0 start value. At this meet, we were judged out of a 9.5 start value! I can't seem to understand why we were lesser this time, as my coach...

    Women Editing floor music

    DD is not quite ready for level 7 and will compete her 1st meet this season at 6. Her floor music is now 4 seconds too long. I would like to edit out a small repetitive section in the middle. Can anyone recommmend a good ipad app for this- hopefully free or just a few bucks? Thank you!

    Women Level 5 Floor critiques?

    OK, I'm going to be really brave here and ask for some thoughts on my girl's Level 5 floor routine. She's been pretty stuck with the same score for the past 3 meets - so I know the judging is accurate, lol! But, she's a little frustrated that she's working on things and not seeing the score...

    Women Learning Custom Floor Routine

    Currently I'm in xcel gold and at my gym, everyone has to choose between 3 music pieces and routines until they're platinum, when they get their custom routine. There's a chance I'm moving up next year so I want to know, after you choose your music what happens? Does your coach choreograph it or...

    Women Kind of a specific question about Level 4 floor

    If you watch this video of a lvl 4 floor routine, at 0:25, the girl runs forward a few steps with her arms extended in front, opening them as she moves forward before dropping to her side (there may be more technical terms for this that I am clueless about). Does anyone know if there is a...
