Older DD had her level 4 state meet on Saturday. She is so excited to be done with level 4 and is right now as we speak having her first practice as a level 5!:)
It was an interesting day because she got a big bubble on her hand on Thursday...which we did not pop...(see post in Q&A about "to...
I hope I describe this correct.
Level 4 vault - we have girls that "high" vault with an added matt on the stack matt and girls that low vault just the stack mat. There has been questions raised that the girls doing the low vault have it easier becuase it's lower and that is why a few score...
Where has the season gone???? It just seems like yesterday we were having our first meet ever and now we are heading into the end. It is almost bitter sweet. DD had a great meet this week. Vault is still being the problem. I have no clue where she has put her vault but she needs to find it...
At a recent meet, several gymnasts from the hosting club eliminated the back handspring from the final move, a round-off back handspring combination. How much of a deduction did this cost the girls?
:DFirst, I met JuJu's mom...only for a minute...but I saw her little SUPERSTAR:D compete and she did awesome! Her team also beat out our team for first place...:cool::DI also heard that Claire was there but did not get to meet her...too much chasing of my other two, scoring, and videoing to do...
Ok - I got the details on the Gamecock meet and guess what? Per the rotation summary I have...
Claire & Madigym00 - We are all in the same session on the Black Side!!! We will get to see each others girls compete. How cool is that! :D
Claire - your DD did not end up with any of our girls...
DD is going to move to Level 4 starting today. The coaches asked previously and I declined, but changed my mind. That was about 6 weeks ago when I thought it wasn't a great idea. After weighing our options I thought I'd go ahead and let her try.
She has a close friend at the gym and I'm...
Older DD had her 5th meet of the season yesterday. It was in Myrtle Beach SC and it snowed 5 inches here in Charleston and also snowed in Myrtle Beach which hasn't happened in like 10 years.:) Some of our L5's who had to compete Saturday at 8 didn't make it but we were Sunday at 10 so the snow...
Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone could tell me the skills you need to have to get into level 4 competitive... listed by event would be great.
Thanks!:)
Is there a deduction for a USAG Level 4 gymnast hitting vertical on handstand?
I just read in another thread where someone thought that there was a deduction, but couldn't remember.
If yes, what is the deduction? .1? .3? full value of the skill?
I only wonder because my dd's L4 teammates...
DD had her 4th meet and I am still scratching my head on this one. She had a great meet but for some reason scores are all messed up. The scores they flashed at the meet are not the scores that are posted on the web. Mind you they were all messed up for aa during awards. It was a horrible...
Hey Everyone!
My second level 4 meet is tomorrow and I am trying to thing positive, but at the last practice I couldn't do my mill circle for some odd reason. I have never had a problem before! Mill circle fairies/prayers are needed! I am still excited and hopeful though!
Thanks

We have been going like crazy so I am behind on posting and just got caught up on making videos. Our next few weeks are even crazier with Tiger Paw, Gatlinburg Classic & Gamecock Invite all in the month of February and then State Meet in March...:eek:
Meet #6 - Capital City Classic
This was...
I just had a meet yesterday and my bar routine was great up to my leg cut. My leg cut is horrible. My legs a severly bent and I just barely get my foot over the bar and it normally hits the bar slightly anyway. Does anyone have any tips, drill, conditioning, for leg cuts? I really need help!:eek:
Hi,
Just wondering what the deduction is when a gymnasts does not turn on her level 4 dismount and just goes straight down from the handstand? Then gets back up and completes it.
Thanks for your help.
firs sorry so scarse, life is just soo busy with a 1 yr old (yes 1 naw , where did the time go?)
anyhoe my dd just turned 8 last week and this friday will have her first one, she is nervous and keeps asking what if I fall or dont do my dismount right etc. I just tell her to get back up and...
Alex had what I think is her last Level 4 meet on Sunday. She is supposed to compete in Kansas City this coming weekend but she has hurt her foot and is in a boot at the moment.:( We are not sure what she did but on Saturday evening she was complaining about the top of her right foot. I...
We have just completed our 3rd meet of the season. DD is doing very well for her first year comepting. We just need to find a way to keep her on the beam. She has one fall each meet on her beam routine. It is killing the entire team. I just hope she is saving that one beam routine that she...
On the level 4 bar routine, the pullover that is at the beginning (sorry, don't know what the technical name is).....should that be slow and deliberate or fast yet controlled? I've seen it both ways and I wasn't sure which one or does it not matter as long as it's technically right? Also, are...
