My little one is all over her RO BHS, hitting it well enough to be working on form corrections already. She nailed her font hip circle on her first try and keeps hitting it. I was honestly nervous to see if she would be able to transition from Level 3 to Level 4 by fall. It looks like it will...
Little dd had a bit of a mental error on floor and started her routine by doing bounce bounce split jump, split jump instead of straight jump split jump. The first split jump was not as much split as the second one, but definitely not a straight jump - what would you judges do with this?! Just...
DD had her last level 4 meet yesterday, and I had more fun watching her than I have ever had before! I laughed and I cheered and I gasped and I smiled. DD tied her highest AA of 37.7 and she had a fall! A fall for her is unheard of- but I cracked up when she did! The parent sitting next to me...
This was DD's biggest meet ever - prior to this the biggest had been Crown of the Carolinas when she was in level 3. It was well-run and we enjoyed both the meet and being in Orlando. It was a little on the expensive side, especially when my other DD lost her spectator ticket and I had to buy...
Well we went to Louisiana (about 3 hours away). We made it a 3 day 2 nighter.
We took the kids to an indoor playground and arcade. We spent hours on sunday in the SciPort museum. They had the Bodies Alive exhibit there. I love that kind of thing. The kids were fasinated by it too.
They had a...
DD had another successful Level 4 meet!
DD had a mishap on bars and posted her lowest score of the season with a 9.25, but it was still good enough for 1st place in her age division! DD stubbed her toe against the low bar during her shoot through- but the weirdest thing is she sort of held...
Hi guys,
Little dd had a beam issue this weekend and the coach tried to make us both feel better by saying how good her score would have been - judges... here is what happened. She did the best beam routine I've ever seen until she got to the dismount. She kicked up to the handstand, held it...
I overheard a mom saying her dd was practicing for her level 4 skills test, but the girl had already moved up to level 4. What is a skills test and why was it going to be taken after she had already moved up? I don't want to ask the mom at our gym because she is the "know it all mom":)
My daughter is 9 and competed level 4 USAG this year. This was her first introduction to competitive gymnastics and she loved it. Her gym didn't participate in many meets - only two - and they didn't bring the girls to sectionals or states even though they all would have qualified for...
What are some suggestions or common deductions that we can work on to get my daughter from a mid 8 score to 9's? Her coach has been very supportive about her progression but not specific about how she can improve. Any help is appreciated.
Well, she raised her AA by over a point this time. I really do have mixed feelings about this meet. I understand that judging can is often times subjective. And I understand I do not know all the details of judging. But, from my view point this was her worst meet. She went all wonky on her front...
So I'm training level 5 and have been since the the fall. I joined back in artistic gymnastics after doing just a tumbling class for a year but not the other 3 events.
As of now I'm pretty good on Vault, Beam and Floor. Not outstanding and I struggle on certain aspects but I can get through the...
I bought the disk of all the images that the professinal took at the meet. He said I had all rights to post them on FB, (or any other social network), message boards, send via email..I can even print them. The only thing I couldnt do was copy or scan into my computer the one free image he...
Well, DD had an out of state meet this morning. We had alot of fun. Just being "girls"..while the boys watched the Cotton Bowl (Wooo Pig Soooie!..lol).
Even though she didn't really "place" any better than her first meet. (10th AA out of 12 girls in her age group 6-8 yrs old). She brought her...
I have girls that can do this skill with perfectly straight legs, but when their feet touch the ground they "bounce" a little. I'm wondering how that "bounce" would be deducted? Would it be better to have them drop to a bent leg bridge with no bounce?
Of course, I have already focused on...
Hi Everyone! Crazy gymnastics weekend for our family - my gymmies competed back to back on Sunday so we literally spent 10 hours at a gymnastics meet!
I'll start with little dd because she competed in the morning... I'll start by saying her goal for the day was to get an 8 on bars since she...
Posted the meet results over in the meet results forum. But just got the new video software uploaded to make the video. Im still really new to the software and really need to sit down and figure it out before I do more damage than good with it..lol
Anywho..Im proud of her. Lots of wobbles and...
State meet-the toughest meet of the season. She was in a much tougher section this year than last and I had no idea how things would go. Of course to look at her, she showed no nerves. ;) Started on floor-she put out the best floor routine of the season after working hard on it at practice the...
DD had her 2nd L4 meet yesterday. She ended up in an 8-11 year old age group because there weren't enough of each age to break it down furthur (and she's still 7)! Here's how she did:
Started on vault - Our team was up first and my DD went first (she volunteered - ugh! lol). Score was 8.0, down...
