    Not Ready for Competition Next Month (Level 3)

    My 5 year old daughter has her first meet at level 3 next month. She does not know her beam routine or her floor routine. In fact they haven't even heard the music.We have had some coaches leave for college so we are short on coaches but they do their best. Our gym is very low key on level 3. I...

    USAG Level 3

    It's been kind of a long time since i've been on chalkbucket - and I've missed it! :D Anyway, I overheard some new mom's last night talking about level 3. One of them then asked me if I knew anything about it (and of course, I didn't, i am WAAAY out of the loop these days:rolleyes:) Is USAG...

    Too many girls in L3?

    Hi all :) I took my DD, who is a first season L3, to practice last night and I found out from the coach that the group (which I thought was quite large to begin with at 11 girls), has now increased to 16! I decided to just keep my mind open and watch and see what happened. Well, the entire 3...

    Parents Level 3 new athlete ?

    Hello all. My daughter is a new level 3. Her first meet will be in August. I have a question about the USAG fees and wanted to know if anyone could help. Our booster club is saying we owe $20 for the USAG #'s and $54 for USAG membership because they are new athlete's. I can't find it...

    Level 3 bars - deductions for cut fwd

    In teaching our new group of level 3's, I'm reminding them to keep the leg straight, lift the arm from the shoulder, and cut (rather than climb) - however, it was brought to my attention that there may be a deduction for allowing the back of the leg to hit the bar after the cut - is that...

    Parents Other L3 or L4 parents - how many on team?

    I was reading another thread and someone mentioned that 12 girls on an L3 team seemed like too many. So, that made me think - we have 35 on our L3 team, with roughly the same on L4. There are 4 main coaches, each with an assistant. The girls warm up together, but then are split into...

    Level 3 bars deductions?

    Hi, my DD got a score of 7.6 on her Level 3 bar routine over the weekend. She would have gotten major deductions for 2 things: (1) she was nervous and put too much power into her back hip circle, and she just couldn't hold on to the bar after coming back around to her start position - she...

    At home program for L3 5yo?

    If I could have chosen strength and flexibility, it would have been more accurate. My brand new L3 is beyond excited to start "big girl team" in two weeks. She'll go 2x/week for 2 hrs/each, which is only a slight increase from the schedule she's kept (at *her* request) for the last year...

    Mom of a new 5 year old Level 3

    My daughter was just accepted onto the Level 3 team at our gym. She has been in gymnastics for 2.5 years now and turned 5 in April. She's excited, I'm nervous! She'll move up from 3 hours/week to 4 hours/week, with some additional times available throughout the season. I'm just here to...

    Parents Level 3 state meet tonight!

    DD went to her first state meet tonight. We weed prepared by the coaches not to expect much, they said the judges tend to be harder and we knew the competition would be stiff. I think DD did a great job! She was at vault first and scored an 8.55. Reasonable start. Next was bars, which...

    T&T Level 3 Artisic Combined With T&T

    My 4 year old went to her second trampoline and tumbling class tonight. The coach/owner wants her to compete for her gym and says that she can make her national champion by the age of 6. I have no doubt what she is saying is true because, barring injuries, my dd is a natural tumbler and this...

    Level 3 meets

    Just curious - I see many posts here about meets at level 3. Our gym doesn't start meets until 4 - if there are 3 meets out there is there a reason that a gym wouldn't start letting the girls compete at 3's. It just seems like the more meet experience they have under their belts, the better...

    Question - Level 3 Floor Routine / Scoring

    My daughter's team has a local, non-sanctioned meet this weekend and I have a quick question regarding the Level 3 floor routine. (I'd ask our coach, but she's been away a few weeks for a variety of reasons). At our last meet, I have seen a skill done one of three different ways: 1. lay on...

    Parents Who Has Competed Level 3?

    I really want to get a feel for parent's opinions on competing level 3. What were the pros and cons? Did you feel it benefited your gymmie and if so, how? I am trying to make an educated choice about my DD competing level 3 next year. She would start training the routines in March. I think it...

    Parents Need a current level 3 video please

    Hi, my just turned 6 year old is competing in her first meet tomorrow level 3. She wants to watch some videos of other level 3 kids, but all the ones that I can find have last seasons skills. Anyone have a current video? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Coaches Competing level 3 states (mirrored from parents' section)

    I'll be honest: I don't like to compete level 3 at all. I think a strong focus on competition at that level is counterproductive in and of itself; add to that the fact that the level 3 routines are terrible from a developmental perspective. I especially dislike the level 3 vault and bars.

    Parents Thoughts on L3 competing at state meets?

    I will start by saying I am not overly experienced with all of this. Having said that, I think that having L3 compete at state meets is silly. The reason I think this is that its supposed to be a developmental level no? Sure, gain some experience with local meets but anything beyond that, is...

    Parents dd's first Level 3 meet

    Honestly, I'm proud of her - big time. It was not her best performance on either of the 4 events, by a long shot. Well, actually, beam was really amazing! She started out on floor. I was very thankful that she was starting on floor - she has a beautiful floor routine. It's cake for her...
