level 3

After they finish the mill circle, they need to do the leg cut back, right? DD had a meet this morning, and I didn't even notice it at the meet, but when I was watching the video after, I saw that instead of a legcut, she moved her hand over the leg, and then swang the leg over the bar (like...

My daughter who is in level 2 will be moved to Level 3 after Sate. She is 6 yrs old. On our gym there are only a couple of girls moving to level 4. So that means, my daughter will be with girls who are repeating the level 3. I had a conversation with 1 of the moms in lv 3 and she told me that lv...

Long story short: this weekend is the last weekend my daughter (9 years old, level 3, first year competing) has a shot to qualify for state. She has improved over the course of the season though she still struggles with the mill circle on bars and back hand spring and needs a spot for those. At...

Is there any benefit to competing a glide kip in Level 3 instead of a pullover? My DD just moved up to Level 3, has her kip, and her coach mentioned she could compete it if she can get her straight arms consistent.

Hi all. Previously I had posted to get advice about DD moving from rec gym to pre team at 5 yo. She has really been enjoying her new class and has gained new strengths and skills! After returning from winter break and talking with one of her coaches I was informed that the plan for DD was to...

I have gotten back into coaching after a lengthy hiatus. I am only coaching a low level (3) team, but we went to our first meet and there were a few scores that were quite a bit lowest than I expected. I know we have tons of little things to clean up but I was wondering if I am missing...

Are gymnasts required to stop after the glide and then chin up, hold, pullover? I don't read the text that way but kids that do it that way seem to score better than those that glide, feet hit the floor, then immediately pullover.

Could I please be added to this group? Thanks!!

As a spin off to an ongoing thread about these, I noticed that a US parent posted that her daughter is level 9 and can't do them. I thought they only went up to level 10 and that's when a college scholarship was a real possibility so I'm assuming their level 9/10 is more advanced than our level...

My daughter is 10 years old. She started gymnastics two years ago coming from ballet. The coach allowed her to practice with the team girls on the old level 3 but not compete with them as the competition season had already begun. We only compete August-December USAG. Then when the changes...

What is the proper way for the L3 to salute after their vault (Handstand flatback) Do they have to sit up on the mat and salute, or can they get off the mat, stand on the floor and salute?

So I recently passed my level 2 coaching exam and am now considering whether to do level 3 women's artistic. However I'm slightly confused as to how it works as it seems to be different from level 2 in that there are technical modules as well as a generic level 3 course?I was wondering if there...

What do you see here that is wrong....I know there is plenty! I am just trying to figure out what the judge did not like! Normally she gets between a 9.3 to a 9.6 They smacked her with a 8.9! She was really PO ed .....me too!

My level 3s don't compete for a few more months, but I am looking at scores from fall meets and it appears beam scores are much lower than they were for the old level four. I will get to go watch a meet in December but I was wondering if that was the case in your area and if so, what they are...

My understanding is that there is no deduction for a coach on the floor unless a spot occurs. Is this correct? I have an athlete that likes someone "close" for her tumbling. Thanks!

My DD is a new level three but now I'm being told she will just work out for a year and compete next year. This gym does not have a pre team. They don't start competing until December. Which means she won't compete until almost a year and a half. I did not like the sound of that. I'm tho king of...

Hi Everybody! My 9 year old daughter was moved from her pre-team class (L2) to the Level 3 team in May. She is practicing three evenings a week for a total of about 6.5 hours/week. She has made great strides and is having fun. The L3 team she is on has about 11 girls ages 6-14 and two coaches...

Hi all, I have noticed in my gym that some level 3's are doing their entire floor routine right, but doing their split left? Is there a deduction for this? Or is it better to take a deduction for the wrong side split if the split goes all the way down (some girls only have left split all the...

Upon landing on the flatback (for L3 vault) is there a deduction if the arms or feet are up in the hollow position, or does the whole body need to be FLAT on the mat?

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. :)
