My DD has had some tumbling issues (not her area of strength). Her new gym is playing around with her floor passes. They had been working hard on her front layout but apparently it just wasn’t going well. They now changed it to this (she used to do 3 passes at old gym but new gym does not to...
Hi all! I was wondering if anyone would know where to find or perhaps has a copy and would kindly share the USAG Level 5 compulsory floor music prior to 2005? My teammate (we are college club gymnasts) was looking for it and could not find it online or on YouTube. Thanks!
I've been a competitive gymnastics coach for seven years now, and this is my second season as the head coach for our Xcel program. I've always choreographed the routines myself and taught them the same way. This season the problem I'm running into is that the Silvers just aren't memorizing their...
We paid a choreographer for a floor routine, and found our own music. My daughter competed it for two seasons, and we have now left the gym because it is unsafe. Tonight we found out the coaches have given the routine to another girl. Is this common? She really loved the routine and felt it was...
My daughter found this music on YouTube and loves it. I haven’t been able to find a similar version anywhere. Does anyone know if there is a way she could use it? Or can I purchase it?
There is a thread from 2015 about this but was hoping for some more recent info. Has anyone had success using either Jumptwist or Energym for custom music? Or, any other recommendations would be great. DD found music but it's not cut and needs more than a cut at the beginning or end. Thanks!
I have always been saving floor music to use for the future. But after re-listening to all of them . . . I don't think they'd fit me very well. I have been looking on youtube for weeks now, asking advice from coaches and I'm stumped! I am not able to find any floor music to suit my...
We have a folding floor beam. It can wobble on the floor and I know you can get some thing to steady it but cant remember what they are called does anyone know or have Any advice?
I had so much fun doing this two years ago, and I've just started cutting music again. Let me know if there's any music you'd like cut!
Here are some examples of what I've done previously:
One of my younger gymnasts is intent on using pop music for her optionals floor routine.
She's 8 (turning 9) and what I would call stocky, short and muscular. She's neither the most powerful gymnast nor very poised/ballet-like. More power than ballet though. :D
She likes this song but I'm not...
My daughter is trying to find floor music for this year. She really likes Isis Lowerys for Oregon State, but another neither one of us can find what the music is called. It is most likely a custom piece, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any the songs from it.
My daughter will be a high school junior in the fall and is looking for something different in floor music for her last 2 years. She really likes this song that her sister did a contemporary dance to last year. Any suggestions for something similar? Her coaches accept requests but typically...
I am working to revamp my beam workouts and am curious to hear what other coaches find works best.
Previously, I did a beam complex with all the usual stuff (releves, walks, kicks) with a big focus on posture and just being on the beam and getting comfortable. Then it moved into bigger skills...
Does anyone know anything about Marliiexx from YouTube and how to reach her/him? He/She cuts really great floor music. My DD's song is from there and we'd like a copy of it. She's been practicing this whole time from the youtube track at the gym! We are leaving her gym and she may or may not...
Hi All,
My daughter competed level 5 last year but AA only twice due to fear and mental blocks with tumbling. She is now xcel gold and enjoying it but still had to scratch floor at first meet because she wouldn’t even do a front handspring! She scored well on the other 3 events but really wants...
Would any judges be willing to give feedback on a level 8 floor routine? We don’t see anything that stands out as a big issue. My daughter is trying to figure out if it was a bunch of little deductions or if there is a bigger deduction she can fix.
DD recently moved to a new gym (September) and has commented from the beginning that she finds the floor very hard. She's getting more rebound, but recently has been complaining of ankle pain. She uses supports for her wrists; I was wondering if there are comparable supports for feet/ankles...
