This will be my daughter’s second year competing, she did xcel gold and is now doing level 3 JO. Last year she competed a front hand spring on vault, and her highest score was an 8.6, though in general she scored in the low 8s. She just had an intrasquad meet and I am noticing that she seems to...
My daughter can barely stop herself with the tips of her toes after her glide swing and then has to do a dead hang pullover. At meets will they adjust the height of the bar?
I'm new to the gymnastics world. My daughter will be turning 7 soon. She competed as a level 2 last season and then we switched gyms. Her gym now is talking about skipping 3 altogether because she already has level 3 skills. She has the whole summer to learn level 4 and they think she can do it...
Which mistake is worse (bigger deduction) in a Level 3 bar routine?
1) Putting your leg on the bar during the shoot through?
2) Completing the shoot through correctly and then falling backwards?
She has been doing Option 1 all season and it is killing her all around score.
The coaches decided...
My daughter (level 3) did a handstand forward roll on floor where she was supposed to do the bridge kick-over. She was wondering: What is the best thing to do once that happens to end with the most points possible? Just go right into the bridge kick-over and continue as if she hadn't done the...
Hi everyone,
I am so thankful I stumbled upon this site! It has been super informative as I’ve tried to navigate my way through learning about my daughter’s journey though gymnastics the past few months.
My 6 year old was unexpectedly asked to join the level 3 team that started training this...
Hey everyone! My daughter is new to level 3. She fell after her rbhs and got a really low score (6.975) other girls got higher scores even though they didn't attempt theirs.why is this?
I just checked the schedule for Tinker Bell's meet this weekend and it turns out that there will be both L2 and L3 in her session along with L4. I thought we were done with the L3 music forever. Guess I will be packing earplugs. Anyone got vodka gummy bears they can send me?
I have a few questions about Level 3 beam timing.
1. Does your routine have to be done in 55 seconds or 1 minute? I recall seeing both numbers and I'm confused now.
2. Does it start when gymnasts place their hands on the beam and does it stop when they land on the mat or when they release their...
So last season it was end of march/first week of April, this year it isn't until the first weekend in May! Meaning they have like a month and a half from their last qualifying meet until state. Seems weird doesn't it? The rest of the levels have their state meets all in March....anyone know why...
My gymmies coach mentioned to her she could do a kip instead of a pullover and a basket swing instead of a mill circle for her bar routine this season- has anyone else had their kiddo do this? My daughter is very excited about the possibility of switching up skills, but since her pullover and...
Hi. Pretty recently my daughter has started struggling to do her ROBHS in her floor routine for Level 3. She's been doing it for months- and has even done a ROBHSBHS multiple times. I think it is mostly nerves. What would the deduction be for just doing a round off in the floor routine? They...
Hi all,
I am hoping to help a good friend with a decision. Disclaimer: This is a question for a friend who does not live in the same region, I think they are region 3 but not sure.
Here is a little background first. My friends dd is a year older than mine, almost to the day, so she just...
Hi! One of the rec kids at our gym is travelling to Michigan, Genesse county and looking for a gym (Flint, Clio, around that area) that she could put her girl in for Level 3 recreational. June 30th until July 15th.
Any gyms there that would take a kid for a couple weeks?
Hello all! I'm new here, but have been reading many posts and learning lots about the sport! My daughter has taken to gymnastics and keeps asking to do more, more and more gymnastics! She is in a level 2 equivalent training right now but wants more. The next step at her gym is level 3...
Does anyone know how big the deduction is for moving the feet after landing in the bridge in the handstand-bridge kickover in the L3 floor routine? What about for feet that bounce when landing the backwards roll to push-up position?
Hi All,
My daughter got moved up from preteam level 2, to training level 3. We moved to region 1. The new hours are 6. Which I think is perfect. In just 2 months when they start learning level 3 routine, it moves to 9 hours a week. Personally, I think this is too much. She will just be turning...
