level 3

Hi, my daughter competes usag level 3. In her meet today she started on the wrong side of the beam. She saluted the judges put her hands on the beam and did her front support then realized she would be facing the end of the beam once she swung her leg over so she stopped, and went around to...

Whew, what a day! Even though Midget did not start until 1 PM we drove up last night and stayed in a hotel so there was no rush this morning. Drive is not bad but still 2.5 hours early was not something I wanted to do. Plus it makes the whole thing a big deal for the dd. Even though there was...

Well as I have posted before the last meet, where Midget did so well, was really a fun meet. Saturday is the first one of the 'real' meets. Unsanctioned, level 3, but still real to us! She has a 1 PM call time but we are heading up to lovely Paducah, KY tomorrow after school for our traditional...

Hello all I am brand new to this! J did some tumbling (on a team) and is 6. She is interested in learning more "gymnastics" so we went and had her evaluated at a gym. They placed her with their "preteam" My questions is this? Last night was her first night and there are 30 kids in the class. It...

So we had our first meet on Saturday. More geared towards fun and identifying coaching opportunities, and to let some of the newer girls see what they will be getting into in a month or so. Midget looked really good in warmups on beam, floor, and bars. Vault though, well lets just say her run...

The midget has her first meet tomorrow morning for level 3. Luckily this is a 'fun' meet hosted by our gym but there will be other gyms there. I think I am way more nervous than she is. Hopefully it will go well. Though it might not. Her run for the vault is comical at best and that darn mill...

Just wondering if any of you have been in this situation. I have a 5 y/o that is on level 3 now. She loves gymnastics, is excited to wear her new competition leo, but states she doesn't want to compete, but then later she'll say okay she'll compete later on. I don't want to push her if she is...

Our gym is starting an L3 program for some of the girls. This is their first year doing it. My question: Is L3 part of the USAG Compulsory program? Thanks for the help.

Since level 3 is not a sanctioned level is it possible to move from competing Level 3 last season to competing level 5 this season without competing level 4 at all? I ask because another girl at my daughters gym has all the skills to move to level 5 but she is not sure if they will move her or...

Hi! Here is the video from her State meet. She had a great day and is still smiling! Today is her first official day as a Level 4, although they have been doing the skills for months...she is super excited about the new music...me too! Thanks for watching!:) YouTube - Level 3...

My DD is 6 years old. She has been on a non-sanctioned team doing USAG level 3 routines. She loves practices, but isn't so crazy about the meets. She just got invited to move up to sanctioned level 3 starting in the summer months. Her practice will be twice a week for 3 hours each time. She is...

So as of this week, I'm now coaching the level 3s at our gym -- coming in right at the end of competition season! Friday I did beam and bars with them and was very disappointed to see that not one of them can properly do their beam dismount (cartwheel to handstand hollow body down to floor)...

Hello! I finally have video to show of my dd's first Level 3 meet of the season! First, I just want to say to all of you who regurlarly post video on here, I am so impressed! Maybe I will get better at this in time but I am so computer illiterate...it took me forever to figure out how to do...

My Nastia had her 1st spring meet today what went "OK". She was having an off day, and most of her scores were about .25 lower then what's typical. However, her beam score is a mystery to us. She scored an 8.10, which is lower then even some gymnasts that fell off the beam. Can someone watch...

What are the differences between Level 2 and Non-Sanctioned Level 3? Our gym does not have a Level 2, only Non-Sanctioned Level 3. Another gym in a nearby city has a Level 2 team. Are the skills the same? Are the routines the same? Would they be competing together at the same meets? Oh...
