    Men L4 critique, especially HBar...thx

    OK, he did an awesome job and got 1st BUT... This meet, his routines were not as good as his last....( I thought..) What is wrong with the High bar.....I know he is arching a lot on the back of the swing....does his hop have to be really high, or will any hop do? I think his swings look...

    Men L4 skills

    I am a parent of a 6year old boy who has been involved in gymnastics for less than 6months. I would love to figure out exactly what is expected of him as he works on L4 skills on each of the different disciplines. Where can I find the required routines for L4? Thanks very much:)

    Coaches L4 Bars - Undershoot Dismount

    I'm looking for some pointers/thoughts/drills that may help our girls with their undershoot dismounts. Is this [what I guess is common] problem of dropping their hips after the BHC point to a particular strength issue? Or is more body awareness? A few habitual offenders have long since...

    Level 4,5,6 prance steps

    for the prance steps...the text in the compulsory manual says something like "quickly drag along the floor." Does this mean that the toes should be pointed and touching the floor? Instead of coupe with toes to the ankle? There has been some controversy among the regular coaching staff regarding...

    Parents M's first level 4 meet ever!

    She did it! I survived it!:) Oh, and so did she!;) I was very proud of her at her first meet, she had just "found" her FHC back at the last practice before her meet. She got all her skills, and now she just needs to polish and perfect things. Next year she should have a good 2nd year L4...

    Dani's Level 4 Meet Report

    This meet had it's ups and downs but finished off rather well. Here's the rundown: First up was Beam. Eeeek---they never started on beam so that worried me a bit. It seemed like the beam was giving a lot of kids trouble because routines were shaky and scores were low. Dani went up toward the...

    Parents Last L4 meet

    Our season offically ended as a level 4 at the Star Struck Invitational in Atlantic City,NJ We had an early start since DD had a 10:40am report time and it was about 2-2 1/2 hrs from our house. We also had some running around to do before we left town since DS (10) had a wrestling match too...

    Level 4 and 5 Mom

    So glad to find this website! I have to gymnast daughters; a 10 year old L5, soon moving to L6, and a 7 year old new L4. I also coached preschool/kindergarten children for 3 years. Meets and judging can be frustrating, but this is a beautiful sport!:)

    Boys Level 4 Vault Analysis?

    I've received some really good feedback from some of you on other videos I've posted, so I thought I'd push my luck and try again. The level 4 vault is seemingly the most simple event of them all, but apparently there's more to it than meets the eye. If anybody feels they are familiar enough...

    Looking for ways to get l4 boys excited about mushroom

    Mushroom is a weak event for my level 4s; I have two, and neither can make it past a full circle. I think both have settled into the routine of doing one circle (actually, closer to 7/8ths of a circle) and falling; they seem to have given up on pushing themselves past that point. Does anybody...

    Parents A sneak peek into dd's Level 4 routines

    I took some clips of Liv at practice doing her level 4 routines. It is one of her first times doing the floor and beam routines. On floor she hasn't really been taught the last part of the routine, especially the part on the floor. On bars she has her fhc and shoot thru but she was not with...

    Parents Meet report L4

    My DD had a meet yesterday. She got second on Bars, 3rd on beam, 5th on floor and 6th on vault (I might have the vault and floor backwards, I don't remember) She got 3rd AA with a 36.65 2 more meets left in our season, and still chasing the elusive gold,*sigh*. She really did well. I felt...

    Parents Report from previous L4 meet

    DD had a pretty good run, all in the 9's. Second on Bars with a 9.55, 2 5ths, 1 4th, and a second place all around! She was pretty jazzed. her worst score was a 9.2 on beam, and I know it's that pesky 3/4 handstand. It seems like they take points off if a kid doesn't do a full handstand...

    Boy's Level 4 High Bar Routine

    Brand new to the forum, so I thought I'd dive right in. My 11-year old joined his first competitive gymnastics group last summer. Last weekend he attended the third meet of his life. We came away with that wonderful feeling of a job well done, but being new as we are, we also came away with...

    Level 4 Floor (girls)

    I was told by a mom that during the girls level 4 floor routine where they do the handstand to bridge and then kick over if the girls when they go into the bridge, slide there feet together and then kick over, you get more points. Has anyone heard of this? I thought it was more of the split...

    L4 boy's coaches - how many events per day and routines per event/week?

    Just wondering how many events per workout and routines per event? I generally try to go over a key point they all need to hit and then do routines, 3-5x per event. Generally, HB or SR, FX every day (3d/w), PH and MR split into different events but every day, V 1-2x per week and PB 2-3x per...

    Boys Level 4 Mushroom

    Is is mandatory for the boys to attempt circles on the mushroom after their level 4 pommel horse routine? If they can only do 1 at a time, is it more of a deduction to skip it or to do 1 or 2 at a time. Has this rule changed from last year?
