    Parents Beam, Vault, Floor shoes?

    Hi, at a meet this weekend we saw a team wearing shoes for beam, vault and floor. We've never seen any girls do that before. What is the purpose of wearing them - do they really help the girls grip the floor, beam better? Give better traction for vault and tumbling?

    So, here's the situation: I'm currently at level 6, but I'm moving up to novice optional the first weekend of March. That means I get to pick out my own music and routines (FINALLY!).

    Coaches Full Floor Time for Compulsories

    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.

    Parents Floor Routine

    My daugher just choreographed her level eight floor routine. I watched as it was being done. The music was a combination of Flamenco, Malaguena and modern synthesizer. I was captivated by the artistry involved in creating the choreography moves with the cut music. It was like watching a...

    The level 5 men's vault is a front tuck (no vault table) off a spring board with an arms circle that ends below shoulder height. How does this relate to a front tuck on floor? While I do not teach an arm circle for a front tuck on floor I have seen some gyms that do. What are the advantages...

    USAG Floor Routines

    USAG Floor Routines? It's so interesting to see how USAG chorographed (sp) them where it's the same routine with increasing skill variations. Do you think that was to just avoid confusion in learning /teaching it or help gymnasts progress faster through the levels or a little of both. KWIM?
