    Women L7 Floor -- 2 tumbling passes or 3?

    My DD is competing L7 and her floor routine has 3 tumbling passes (FHS-FT, FHS-FP, RO-BHS-LO). I seen other routines at our meets with only 2 passes, so I'm curious what the coaches on the board think. On the one hand...it offers more opportunities for deductions. On the other hand...I don't...

    Women What do judges look for in a Level 7/8 USAG floor and beam routine?

    Hello, I understand they (judges) are looking for precision and tightness. Maybe they are looking for what they see in the Olympics, but I want to understand why when you look at a gymnast doing a routine that looks very good yet, gets a low score. Are they looking for complicated movements...

    Men Floor routines: Difficulty or style?

    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...

    Women Can someone judge my dd's last floor routine?

    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!

    Coaches Time limit for 6/7 floor routines

    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...

    Men boys' floor choreography

    Curious after reading through the thread on the girls' side -- how does your gym do choreography for the optional boys' routines? Now having been to some optional meets for girls, I can see how good choreography that plays to a gymnast's strengths can make a difference. I would imagine it is the...

    Women Gymnastics Floor music

    Hello All, Just wondered if people can recommend to me some sites online where I can get floor routine music? If it's free, that would be great, but I know this isn't always possible. I do know of some sites already, but I would like to know what you recommend. Thanks :)

    Coaches Can a coach still be on the floor during level 3 floor exercise?

    My understanding is that there is no deduction for a coach on the floor unless a spot occurs. Is this correct? I have an athlete that likes someone "close" for her tumbling. Thanks!

    Women Need help picking out Xcel Silver gymnastics floor music?

    This is my first season and I need to find my floor music within a couple days! It has to be a minute long. I'm good at dance and flexibility and grace and I am tall and old for a gymnast. I really like Katelyn Ohashi's 2012 floor music "Onegin's theme" and Nastia Liukin's 2008 music. I would...

    Women Question about lefty/righty Level 3 floor routine

    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...

    Women Bronze Floor Dance sequence question

    My question is regarding the straight leg leap and dance sequence. Can I have examples of what can be performed in this sequence? The 60 degree split leap is an absolute requirement? But it states that there needs to be a minimum of 2 group 1 VP or Group 1 Bronze skills directly or...

    Coaches Floor tape

    What does your floor look like? Do you use floor tape to make "lanes" or no? Do you use tape to have a diagonal line for cross tumbling? At my gym we have all of the above. I see the pros and cons to each. Curious to see what others think... A coach before me did our lane lines with duct tape...
