    L3 or L4

    Bella had gym last night and the L3 coach asked if we could speak. She told me that the plan is to move Bella up to "team" in March/April after the competition season. She said that she would like for herself as the L3 coach, me as the mom, and the L4 coach to have a meeting to discuss whether...

    level 4 deductions

    Hey all! I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. My daughter just turned 7 and is a level 4 gymnast. The last skill of her floor routine (roundoff back handsprings) she lands probably 20% of the time. The other 80% of the time she lands on her shins. My question is: If she lands...

    Feel the love for Level 4!

    I have permission to repost this excellent and very funny list of advice from an extremely experienced gym mom. After nearly four years with a dd competing, I can say that this is all SO true. Thought it would be great for our many members with gymmies just starting out in competition...

    level 4 beam deduction

    My 7 year old level 4 daughter performed a beautiful vertical handstand on beam yesterday and then fell off the beam. She got right back on and completed her routine. She received a score of 7.50. If she had not fallen off, what might her score have been?

    Level 4 Scoring Changed?

    Hi everyone! I'm the daddy that my team's moms have turned to for scoring questions. I know it's only level 4 but the moms are a little frustrated that we seem to have no idea how scoring is done (and I am too). I have this scoring book and I thought I had made some progress in figuring it...

    Level 4 floor back handspring question

    My daughter just finished her first level 4 meet and loved it. However, she still doesn't have her back handspring. She is working on it and is very close :) How much of a deduction is taken for a roundoff without the back handspring? Would it be better to have a spotter or just continue...

    Issues with the Level 4 vault

    I have a question for the judges (coaches too, if you can help) about a month ago, at one of my dd's level 4 meets, all our girls scored low across the board on their vaults...lower than they normally do. After the meet, one of our coaches approached the vault judges and asked them for some...

    Level 4 Vault Question Series #1 - Run

    I am going to pose a series of questions about judgements on Level 4 vault, picking the Code of Points apart. I'm a coach, and if you've followed any of my posts the last few years I'm rather judgemental myself at the lack of consistency in our state's judges. Rather than ranting... I'm...

    Parents First Level 4 Meet - Guess the Scores

    Hi Everyone, Last weekend was our first level 4 meet after competing Prep Opt Novice last year. As many of you know, DD is hoping to move up to level 5 mid-season (we only do states in the spring, so she would move based on when her coach thinks she has her kip down and can do the level 5 bar...

    Alexis' first level 4 meet!

    Alexis had her first meet (ever) this past Sunday. She had SO much fun! She kept saying she was not nervous, however, when they ran out and headed to beam we could tell she was very nervous. She fell off the beam but got right back on and continued... so proud of her for that :) After that...

    Level 4 bar question for judges

    My daughter has been struggling with her shoot through lately. She had it for the 1st meet, but then has missed it at the last 2 meets. I was wondering what the deduction is for missing the shoot through and what the difference is if she hooks and swings herself back up or if she hooks and the...

    L4 bars shoot through question

    My little DD has just started doing her shoot-through on bars again (it was lost for a long time!) She is casting and getting her foot over the bar, but then falling forward into a sort-of-mill circle, getting stuck upside down!:eek: It's like she is surprised that she has gotten her leg...

    Parents Question for judges on level 4 floor

    My dd did her robhs at the last meet and in her rebound she bounced up really high, brought one knee up, came down one foot at a time, and took 2 small steps backwards. Could someone please tell me what the deductions the judges might have taken for this would be. Thanks:)

    Parents How many meets? Level 4

    We just got DDs meet schedule. Our gym is relatively relaxed and I know from last year's experience that they don't expect the girls to compete at every meet. There are 9 meets on the schedule - which DD got to before I did! She thinks 9 meets sounds great! I think it is a bit much. She...
