    Parents Question from a new L2 parent

    I have been lurking for a while, but I just can't stop thinking about what is expected from Level 2. DD is 6 yrs old and competing L2 we started in recreational at 3, moved to the advanced pre-team, now L2. She has been having tons of fun, and still hasn't quite grasped the concept of the...

    WAG Question about L2 vault

    I know most areas do not compete L2 seriously, but our area does. DD is doing great on everything but this handstand flat back vault. They use a low mat (same as L1 vault). She has a lot of power and is basically propelling herself through the air like she's doing a front handspring. On some...

    WAG Level 2 bars question

    Can anyone tell me what the deduction is for someone not landing on their feet on the dismount for the level 2 bar routine? I'm not talking about taking a step, but more landing and then falling backwards onto to their bottom. I'm still new to competitive gymnastics and am trying to understand...

    WAG Mom getting upset at L3 workout schedule - with L2's!

    I would really like input from other parents as well as coaches! My 7-year old DD and another 8 y/o girl were moved to the level 3 (from 2) mid-summer after scoring 36's at our in house JO. The girls were thrilled - and have both performed VERY well this season - 35. - 37.5 -- my issue however...

    MAG FIG Academy level 2

    Hi all, anyone here attended the FIG level 2 academy? I have a gymnast entering level 7 so need to get a senior coaching qualification, but this year they said the senior qualification is being replaced with the academy and if i pass that, I get the senior qualification as well. Seems a bit...

    WAG Rationale behind competing level 2

    Can someone explain why some gyms compete their JO level 2 gymnasts and others do not? What are the gym's possible motivations? And what are the implications for the gymnast - both pro and con? When we were put into a pre-team class, the coordinator was sure to mention that they DO compete at...

    BG L2 Assessment

    I have my L2 tramp coaching assessment in 2 weeks. I am a bit of a trampoline geek and thought I was all prepared and knew everything I needed to know about how the assessment works. Then I looked at the 'timetable for assessment' thing (which can be found on the second page of the BG L2...

    Parents Level 2 - 12 hrs/week training?

    Hi, I'm new to this team gymnastics. My daughter, who is 5, was on pre team at her gym and was training 5 hrs/week. She was invited to Level 2 (by a letter in her mailbox), which requires 3, 4 hour sessions per week. Does this seem like a lot of hours for Level 2 and for a 5 year old? I'm...

    WAG level 2 question

    A coach mentioned today that she thought you could not switch certain parts of the routines for level 2 from right to left or vice versa. She said that only certian skills could switch. Is this true?

    WAG Level 2 Daughter Just can't get her stride circle

    So my daughter has a nasty habit of 'sitting' on the bar before she 'falls forward' for her stride circle, making it practically impossible for her to get her stride circle. She knows that she shouldn't sit on the bar, but I think that fear has created a bad habit that she is now unable (at...

    T&T Connections in USA level 2&3 tumbling passes

    We're in the process of turning our trampoline team into a full tramp and tumbling team, and I could use some clarification on how the connections in the lower-level passes are supposed to work. First, in the cartwheel-roundoff connections in levels 2 and 3, how exactly is the entry into the...

    WAG Please help me level 2 deductions...

    Ok, so my daughter is competing level 2 and has done quite well...but it seems as a whole our team is missing something on floor. Can someone please help me with deductions? I have tried comparing our routines to another gym with high scores, and have hopefully discovered the differences. 1...

    Coaches Deduction for lack of arm circle Level 2 Vault?

    I don't have the book with me right now, but I was wondering about the deduction for a lack of arm circle for Level 2 Vault. I have a gymnast who has a great vault, but doesn't circle. When she does circle, her vault slows way down and is just generally not as explosive. We will keep trying...

    Coaches Preteam/Level 2 Dance

    I currently coach a preteam and competitive level 2 team. We've just had our first meet and the skills went well enough but we struggled in dance. Our kicks, pivots, heel snap turns, leaps, etc are weak. We spend a lot of time doing releve walks/lifts and kicks in gym but it isn't translating...

    Parents Would anyone be interested in a Level 2/Level 3 Group??

    Searching the groups I do not see a group for Level 2s or Level 3s. Would anyone else be interested in one?? If so I can start it and then we can all just join in. :)

    Parents Does anyone know the new level 2 beam routine for August 2013?

    My DD is in a very large group and doesn't get help like she needs. She only goes 1 day a week and can't get the routine down. They only practice beam about 20 minutes.

    New Level 2??????

    So as you've heard, I moved up to level two. I heard that USAG made a change in the levels, so does that mean I'll be competing new level two in fall, which is equivalent to old level three? This is very confusing and I'm wondering if the is only for level 4 and up? Any help would be...
