    Level 4,5,6 routines - designed for small girls?

    It seems to me that the compulsory routines are better suited to smaller, younger girls. That the routines were designed for smaller, younger girls. I've noticed at meets, included state finals, that the older girls (11+) score lower than younger girls, and the top scores in those age groups...

    Pike in L4 vault (mirrored from parents section)

    In my experience, the most common cause of piking is leaning too far forward on the board. Here are a couple things I would try: 1) Start the run a little further back (say 6 to 12 inches), forcing her to take a longer hurdle 2) Tell her to think about pushing the board forward with her feet...

    Repeat level 4?

    Wondering if most gyms have girls repeat level 4? None of the girls from our 1st year level 4's are advancing to 5 even though many scored 34 - 36 at several meets. They are all 8 years old. All the 2nd year year 4 are moving up even though some are even worse than the 1st year. Just wondering...

    Long, long day. We drove out and back in the same day, 4 1/2 hrs each way, yikes! But it meant a friend watched my 4 yr old so I only had to bring the baby (who was very disappointed that she wasn't allowed to eat the dirty popcorn off the floor) I'm kicking myself for not bringing my camera...

    Positives to repeating level 4...bring it on!!

    Coaches, parents and gymnasts: Some of you know that my daughter just switched to a new gym after a frustrating past 6 months at her old gym. We had lost our head coach who was very good with compulsory routines, the little details, conditioning, etc. There have been many new coaches that...

    Level 4 bars question-help!

    My older dd had her 2nd to last practice before states tonight. She came home upset because one of the coaches told her she was leaving a cast out of her routine. She did the routine without the cast at her last meet and got a 8.45, but also had a couple form breaks. Is there supposed to be an...
