    WAG Level 8 Routines Question

    I competed level 7 last season and did quite good. So this year I will be moving up to level 8. I have a mental block on back tumbling and would like to remove that completely from my routines. I have the bar routine and am going to do a tsuk vault but I have some questions on floor and beam...

    WAG Bar Adjustments for JO Levels?

    My kid is starting level 4. We are at a very small gym with only one set of bars and the coach has them set to full height and wide distance. If my daughter is 4’4” (shortest on the team) is it normal for a coach to not be willing to adjust the bars? Is it safe for her to train at that height...

    Anon higher-level gymnast in lower level or lower-level gymnast in higher level

    My DD who will be a junior in high school next year wants to start competing (xcel). She currently competes for her high school at the varsity level (around xcel gold level for skills). She gets skills faster than most gymnasts (according to her coach) and her ultimate goal is to do A&T in...

    WAG Can giants be the only circling skill for level 6?

    DD competes HS to CHS to giants to layout for her bar routine - she said her back up routine is HS to giants to layout without the CHS if (insert random gymnastics words about pushaway angle) is off. Would that actually fulfill her requirements? I know they have to have a circling skill for...

    WAG Vault table Level 5 2022 height

    I saw a lot of old posts about minimum vault table height for Level 5 but nothing updated. My daughter is 9, short, super petite. She is now vaulting with a practice squad of girls who are 11+ and is having trouble getting over the table. She says the table is too high and her coach won’t lower...

    Parents Xcel bronze to JO? What level?

    If your daughter did a season of Xcel bronze and then switched to JO what level did she go to? My daughter can do all the level 3 skills except for a front hip circle and round off backhandspring. She hasn't tried those skills yet. I have her going to a gym to be evaluated this week and I was...

    Parents BG coach level

    Is there a place you can look at what level of qualification a coach has? British Gymnastics is very keen on safeguarding and being open. Is this information available?

    Parents Remind Me Again That Level 4 Scores and Placement Isn't So Important

    My 8yr old daughter had her last meet of her first competitive season on Friday. We only do 4 meets, she came in last in her age group at this meet and once again, she was the lowest AA score on her team (she was the lowest at the three other meets as well). She is handling this fine. She is...

    WAG Would This Count As A Level 6 Bar Routine?

    I recently watched a video of my cousin's bar routine. It appears to be around level 6 level but it was the strangest routine I have ever seen! For Level 6 in our region, I see most girls do the level 5 first half on the low bar, and Kip-Flyaway on the high bar, sometimes with cast handstands...

    Parents Mental block on bars - Level 6

    My daughter is level 6 and recently had some kind of incident on bars where she was practicing her giants to flyaways. Now she is scared to do her flyaway dismount in her routine. Last meet her coach had her scratch on bars. I'm trying to figure out the best course of action for the next meet...

    WAG Level 10 parents - need some happy stories

    Ok without typing 2 pages of backstory. Need some pick me up stories from level 10 parents about having literally a disaster first year but coming out on the other side in the end for another year. She is not a young gymnast so next year would be her last. Talent is there the pieces just...

    Parents Level 7 bar deduction??

    Is there a deduction in level 7 bar routine if you do a roundy round (you may have different name?) after squat on when jumping to the high bar? Can’t find it anywhere online and my daughter’s trying to perfect her routine for state. Bars is her strength but she’s always hated that squat on by...

    Parents Is it time to let her move on? Daughter , level 7 has a new mental block each week.

    My daughter is a level 7 gymnast, age 10. She was on track to be a level 8 last year but coaches decided to continue level 7 again to give her some added confidence. This season has been like watching someone else's child. Every week she has a new mental block. Two meets ago we were scoring 9.4...

    Parents Level 8 vault

    My daughter can’t flip fast enough to land her level 8 vault. The coach said their is a front handspring that has some sort of twist that also has a 10.0 SV but I can’t find this online. Does anyone have a video they can share of this vault?

    Parents Level 7 Vault Scores

    Hello, First time posting here. Our daughter is doing pretty well in L7 but no matter what she does in a meet her vault score is almost always between 8.6 and 8.8. She scores in the mid 9s on all other events. This video is from her meet today and while I thought it was her best vault ever and...

    Parents Struggling level 6 gymnast

    My daughter is a level 6 gymnast, she’s not doing the best. Actually her last meet she came in last place with a 33. When she first started competing in Level 3, she would always be in first or second place but over the years she has not been in the top 10. My husband and I are really...
