I think it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen!:p
Younger DD (6 yo) has been struggling BAD with getting all the way up to the top of the mat stack with the L4 vault. Just in the last week or so has she even been able to even run and jump up there and do a forward roll! (that...
My daughter is 7 and on level 4 at her gym. She was on Level 3 last year. Last year at the meets, she was doing her front mill circle just fine. (with the exception of a few times she went around 2 times instead of just one time)
However, I just watched her at the gym today and now she...
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...
I just found chalk bucket and after reading for a few days decided to join.
I have a 5 year old Level 4. DD started gymnastics about a 1.5 years ago. She was asked to join Level 4 in March and has done so much better than I expected. She has all of her floor, beam and vault skills, but...
hi, i only coach "lower" levels, so i was wondering what the progression of skills on vault is...like, what is the typical order of what skills you learn on vault after a front handspring? if any of you can make a list, starting with a front handspring as #1, that would be great. you dont have...
Hello,
I'm a level 4 gymnast and I have a question about the handstand bridge in the floor routine. I started to learn the level 4 routines after state last year and have been following videos. My coach is now telling me that in my handstand bridge that it is just a tap with your feet then...
Are there any new drills or a different way I can teach the level 4 bar dismount. I am dealing with the girls piking around the bar and shooting their toes down to the ground for the under swing. I have them work on double back hip circles and back hip circle stop half way but once they go on...
hi! This mainly for my grandaughter, who is just starting level 4 team.She's been in gymnastics for 1 1/2years and loves the sport and we are doing everything possible for her. There will be questions on my part for others with more experience in order to help her excell. I am constantly amazed...
Well, the season is over....and what a ride. My little sparkler had that meet on the day it counted! She was first session and started on Bars....9.725 Best of the season.....Next Beam....9.7 Best of the season....floor 9.450...close and last was vault her nemesis...last meet she got a...
Hi all
Quick question...How long did it take your "young" level 4 (5, 6, 7 years old) to really learn the L4 beam and floor routines?
My little DD (just turned 6) just started level 4 this week. I am not as concerned with the skills, I think she will get them just fine...but all the tiny...
Hi! So happy to have found this site. Looking forward to learning alot of info. My daughter has only competed in non sanctioned meets so far. She will start the sanctioned meets in September. She has all of her skills in level 4, she just needs to get them more consistent. She will be...
Our team starts practice much before my husband or I can get them there from school/work. I am working on looking into carpooling but that doesn't seem to be working out. Another concern is the time? Now practices are 6 hours a week. But it won't be long until practicing consumes much more...
My DD has one meet left (states) in the competition season. With the end of the season in sight, the girls (and parents) at her gym have started to talk about who will move to the next level. Overall the team had a fairly tough season at L5 - L7, so the rumor is that they may move NO ONE to the...
Little DD had her in-house "meet" on Saturday. Our gym uses these meets as a way for girls to move from level 1-3 before going out to "big" meets as L4's.
My little DD has been training L2 for a little over a year...she started when she was 4 years old, turning 5. She struggled and...
Ok, I think we're ready.....last meet before states and little one did great in 3 of 4 events.....took AA around for the 6th meet in a row!! 37.550 AA score. Virginia states in 2 weeks!!! Can't quite get her vault score up...but GREAT all around in the end.
Any feedback on the video...
Well we survived our first state meet. I swear I am glad that is only once a year. I think our entire family except for DD was stressed out. So here goes. DD was in the first session of the two day meet. She was so excited to compete. She started on the "BEAM" which did not help the nerves but...
We have been going crazy since before the end of meet season and I have been horrible about updating and posting. I haven’t even watched the video from her meet, much less uploading it to the computer in order to do a montage.
We had a lot of fun over that weekend. Madigym00’s DD...
Hi again.....well with the time change last weekend and such an early start I was worried but my little bit did it. 37.5 all around and a 9.675 on Beam....top all around score of all 228 girls the whole weekend!!!
GO...on to states now. The best part is she admitted she didn't feel well...
