    Women I'm not looking to be an Olympian but level 4 team would be nice

    I'm 14. I started gymnastics last October, when I was 13. I fell completely in love with the sport. I am now a level2, soon to be moved to level 3, that is if I pass the testing. My biggest regret is not starting sooner! Anyways, I do gymnastics twice a week for 1.5 hours each time. And open gym...

    Women Old Level 4 soon to be level 3 vault

    Can someone please explain to me the new level 3 vault? Is it a handstand flatback or something else. Thanks

    Women Setting expectations for meets (L4)

    To be clear upfront, this post is more about discussing realistic expectations for DD's meets rather than having high expectations. We are in the middle of the L4 meet season, and as parents, have come to the conclusion, that our DDs are doing fantastic... given their competition. In most cases...

    Women My daughter has all of her skills- to repeat Level 4. :)

    My daughter did an open gym this weekend and she is hitting her low bar kip and jump to high bar kip 90%+. She proudly explained to me that she has all of her skills. Teasing her, I said, "Congratulations, sweetie! You have all of the skills you need- to repeat Level 4!" She scrunched her face...

    Women Any Deductions on wearing grips in Level 4 Uneven Bar meets?

    These are the questions for judges: In a sanctioned meet, can a Level 4 gymnast wear grips to compete her uneven bar routine? Will that cause some deductions on her score? The Level 4 girls in our gym all wear grips to practice their bars. Yesterday, when they competed in a sanctioned meet, I...

    Women Level 4 music question

    Quick question. My kid is preteam, but we switched to this gym about 5 or 6 months ago. I've heard totally different music coming from the back of the gym when th level fours here are doing their floor routine, versus the music the old gym was using. And it was the exact same routine they were...

    Parents Getting to Level 4

    DD (just turned 6) returned to the gym yesterday for the first time since the 2 week Holiday break. She is now a level 3 on the level 2/3 pre-team. The first day back also marked "Move Up" day, so several of the girls from her pre-team had their first team practice after being invited...

    Coaches Taking over a Level 4 Program

    Hi everyone! I have some questions and hopefully you'll have some advice for me! I took over the head coach position at my rec gym for the girls level 4 team. Our girls had a nice fall season, but didn't really place well over the competitive area I'm in (West Texas & Dallas areas). We...

    Women Level 4 divided into two teams: Is this common?

    DD is a 6yo level 4. She is at a new gym this year due to a move. She spent the summer working out with them and they determined that she would be a good fit for their level 4 rec team. By way of background, she competed level 3 last year with AA usually 35-36. Following the summer, I found...

    Women First Level 4 meet- mixed feelings!

    My daughter had her first Level 4 meet today. Her goals were to not fall on beam, to podium on vault and to score a 34 all around. She met each goal, but I walked away with mixed feelings. She started on beam and it wasn't pretty. No falls or anything, but plenty of bobbles. She got an 8.55...

    Men Level 4 and happy to see the spark

    I have a young talented dd who loves gymnastics. She is always at the gym so we put ds in a few years back to give him something to do while she was at gym. He did level 4 last year as a 5 year old and kind of liked it. He was on the fence about doing it again this season. He decided on his...

    Coaches Unmotivated Level 4's

    Honestly I just don't know what to do anymore. Went through a fairly mediocre meet last Saturday (and I am being generous here) scoring an average of 7.5 on almost every event. While thats not horrible, it's also something that must be improved on. I'm not sure if they're unmotivated or what...

    Women First level 4 meet of the season (actually - ever!). Judges Cup.

    Hi! Can I post this here nowadays? :) It's been awhile since I've posted, but I thought I'd comment on DD's first L4 meet, especially after she's struggled so much this past year (thanks for letting me lean on you all here). In discussions before the meet (due to DD's nerves) DD decided on a...

    Women Advice for Young Level 4

    My daughter has been at the same gym since preschool. She had a year of Pre Team and loved it. She started training on the Level 4 team at the start of summer. So for ten or 12 weeks now, she has had the new schedule. Her problem is not the workout. She is tough and strong. The problem...

    Women Compete Level 4 or skip?

    Compete Level 4 as young 7 year old (next year) or keep training for Level 5 (skipping learning mill circle and any other nonrelated Level 4 skills) and compete Level 5 probably at just turned 8. Alot of uptraining lost learning Level 4 routine and competing Level 4. But get the Experience and...

    Parents Level 4

    My DD is 6 (turned 6 in May) She is on the pre-team/invite team and has been for a few months. She is younger then the other girls she work very hard. My question is will the team not invite her until she is 7? Is there an "age limit" or is it "skill limit"? As far as skill she is super strong...

    Men help us brainstorm: cool safe dance moves to translate from boy's L4

    We have a little project for tomorrow; my 7yo 2nd year L4 son needs to do some dancing with some "cool gymnast moves" -- a list of things that he can do that would be SAFE on a regular floor (not spring, not mats) to incorporate would be great, and cover my preplanning for next spring's talent...

    Level 4 Invite & Focus

    My daughter got her official invite to Level 4 tonight at gymnastics. Up until a week ago I was about 99% sure she wasn't going to be moved up. Her coach told me last week that she put her on the list but that she was going to have to prove to her that she could focus and pay attention enough...
