    Pixie Grips for Level 4

    My daughter's gym strongly recommends grips for Level 4 and requires them before Level 5. My daughter is just starting Level 4 and is 7.5 yrs old. She's never had a rip; her hands are rough and slightly calloused. She's a good gymnast, but of the four events, bars is her weakest area. Her...

    Repeating L4

    I know that I have posted something similar in the parent forum, but I'm still wrestling with what to do in this situation. DD is 8 and competed L4 last year. Did fairly well, above 35 at state. She was expecting to move to L5 as half her class did, but she didn't. And she also didn't move up...

    Spinoff from Cost of L4 Thread

    I know that gym tuition varies from gym to gym but was surprised to see such a huge difference. For 7 hours a week at level 4, our gym costs $340/month. I saw that someone posted that they pay around $150 (can't remember the exact amount) for level 4 at their gym and they get more hours...

    just wondering...training hours/cost for L4

    I would like to get others' opinions on L4 training hours & costs. My dd competed last year as a L3 and for the fall season had been training 9hrs/wk. Now at L4 her summer training hours are 16hrs/wk with a cost of $320/month. Is this on par with other gyms? I'm not so worried about the...

    Parents moving up from level 4?

    Hi All, I'm fairly new to the gymnastics world. My daughter is 8 and competed for the first time last fall, level 4. She made it to state with over a 35 all around score. Since then, she has taught herself a kip and a cartwheel on the beam. Her coaches know that she can do these things...

    Parents My youngest dd did a novice lvl 4 meet today

    And I'm so stinkin proud of her. She had 3 falls on beam and froze at the near end of her floor routine-but she did connect her robhs, she needed a spot for her fhc and threw in an extra cast...or two.. :) but she rocked on vault. She got a 9.1, not only was she the top score in her age group...

    Parents Little DD's L4 state meet report-longish

    Little DD had her L4 state meet today. She had 5 weeks since her last meet (where she qualified for state...barely!):cool: So, we were hopeful that we would see some improvements today! She had just gotten the hang of her mill circle in the last week, was making big improvements on beam, and...

    Men How is Level 4 Mushroom judged

    Hello everyone Ok so i want to know how is Level 4 mushroom judged in your region/state The manual specifies 3 circles and a half. The 1st bonus is 3 1/2 circles without a fall, and 2nd bonus is 5 1/2 circles no fall. So that means that no bonus routine is circle stop, circle stop, circle...

    Parents Guess the score: level 4 floor last meet

    OK all, would really like some input. DD had her last meet a few weeks ago and was a bit disappointed, especially with her floor score. Would like to hear what you think was her score. Having trouble putting it on here, so I've put it on my youtube page. Link is below. I'm proud of her...

    Chinese New Year level 4 meet...best meet ever!

    Hi all, we went to a really cool meet this weekend. All of Maliya's team improved their scores and had a really great meet. Going into the meet, Maliya set a goal for herself to improve her scores and to back up her "better than 34AA" so she could prove to her coaches that she's ready for...

    Parents DD's first Level 4 meet - she got her beam dismount!!

    OK, it was messy, but she got it! Even in warm-up she wasn't getting it, but during the actual competition she was able to. I was sooooo proud! I felt for her, though, because she fell off doing the heel snap turn, which has never happened to her before. But she was very nervous and shaky...

    Parents Level 4 and 5 meet reports...back to back sessions! long, of course.

    Both DD's competed this weekend. Actually, it was today (seems so long ago now, it all started at 7:30 am!). We went up to "the beach" a day early for the meet and had lovely weather and just generally had a nice day yesterday before we had to go to the meet today. Stocked up on flip flops...

    Parents Circle of Stars Meet- level 4

    Well, my DD's first level 4 season is winding down. After a fun local meet (Flip Fest), we headed to Indianapolis for Circle of Stars. It was a huge meet with something the girls had not seen before-they used a strip of floor, instead of a whole floor for the floor routine. The team was a bit...

    Parents 1st Level 4 Meet and the drama that follows..

    My dd had her 1st meet this past weekend. She actually surprised us with her scores considering how her practices were. They had a mock meet, and her scores were hovering between 7 and 8s. At the actual meet they were mid 8s and high nines. She put her game face on and really did an exceptional...

    L4 - Cast after front hip

    DD's team is really struggling with getting a cast out of their front hip circles. They all have the front hip, but are coming out of them with bent arms. I assist their coach 1x/wk - any suggestions? Also - what are the possible deductions for having a small, or non-existent, cast after FHC...

    L4 vault question

    This is for judges, coaches, anyone who might know. What happens if a gymnast does something that looks more like the L3 vault than the L4 vault (as in, she doesn't kick up to handstand and kind of...rolls...)? Will it still be scored as a L4 vault...or be void or something like that? My 6 y.o...

    Meets in NY for boys and girls, level 4 and up?

    For some wacky reason, it is often cheaper for us to get from Barbados to NY if we fly JetBlue than it is for us to travel to Puerto Rico or Miami on American, even though they are much closer to us. So we have started looking for meets that are in driving distance from JFK. Plus, we are...

    Parents 1 month till first level 4 meet...
