level 5

Quick question, would a Level 4 vault that scores 9.3 score 9.3 in level 7? Are they scored the same in each level, or are there additional requirements that come into play? Curious how this works as the gymnast goes for a long time without changing vaults.

Anyone had any experience with their gymmie going to level 6 if they had a lower level 5 score? My daughter is a 12 year old. Finished level 4 in May. No previous uptraining for level 5 prior to that. Plan as of now is to score out of level 5 and go on to 6 in January. Problem is, fear...

Does anyone have a resource that would describe the exact qualification requirements to make USAG L5 States in TX? I'm looking for specific wording regarding if a gymnast competed 5-Achievement in pre-sectional meets. Competed 5-Placement at Sectionals(Districts here in DFW). How many meets...

L5 seems to be pretty commonly low-scoring in the grand scheme of things. My DD won 3 meets with mid-35 AA's, and she had been getting 36-37 in old and new 4. Is it possible that her scores could bounce back up when she goes into L7? Assuming good solid training, no injuries or obvious...

Is it a deduction if you step hurdle into the ROBHSBT instead of running into it (other than possible deductions for lack of power, form, etc)? If so, how much? Thanks!

Hi everyone, We just moved to our new gym a year ago (from out of states) and I find it odd that this gym requires the girls to compete both level 5 and level 6. No skipping. Isn't this repetitive? Particularly if they have the skills for 7? Many of the 5's (about half) are already...

I am confused. If you want to go from Level 4 to 6, do you need to score out of 5?

i need the exact amount. your gym might be different than mine

What is the advantage (if there is one) of doing level 5 vs scoring out of 5 and going to level 6? The majority of gyms near us seem to skip from level 4 to 6, but there is one gym competing level 5 and then skipping up to 7. Are the skills for levels 5&6 the same? Just curious.

How are so many kids skipping from 4 to 7? 5 seems like such a hard level for my 9 year old. She has done fine but it was not easy. I just keep reading post about kids skipping from 4 to 7. That would never happen in dd's gym.

I've tried to find any videos of new Level 5's on the bars. Don't have to be new now, but a routine that was done at, say, their first meet (i.e. not the greatest scores...) I can find many many "first place"s and "9.5's". Can any of you youtube gurus point me in the direction of how best to...

Anyone want to look at my dd's bar routine and let her know what she can improve upon for states? This routine was done after a 4 week break from gym due to an injury. Thanks!

My level 5 DD is in mid season now and is still struggling with her squat on. I thought by now she would be hitting it consistently but she is only hitting it about 50% of the time. It's very frustrating because her coach sends her to condition whenever she misses it as if she's doing it on...

What is the deduction for doing a LVL4 dismount instead of a Flyaway dismount?

We saw a L5 gymmie over the weekend who hesitated VERY long, then totally skipped her BWO. She ended up with a 6.8. Another mom and I were just wondering what the point deduction was for just that part. Does anyone know?

I'm wondering; does anyone else find scores in level 5 low? Is seems The difference between 4 and 5 is huge. DD was an all around state champ at level 4, has all of her level 5 skills with exception of an above horizontal cast on bars, but her scores are rough. She's been to 4 meets so far...

OK, I'm going to be really brave here and ask for some thoughts on my girl's Level 5 floor routine. She's been pretty stuck with the same score for the past 3 meets - so I know the judging is accurate, lol! But, she's a little frustrated that she's working on things and not seeing the score...

For the level 5 in-bar skill, is a piked stalder permitted?

Loving seeing everyone's videos. This is dd's L5 bar routine from our recent meet. She's been working really hard and she and I were both pleased with her score, but curious to see what others think. http://youtu.be/dE3tZpoWUl8

Vault has been a huge weakness for DD since last year at new 4. Scores have varied between 8.4-8.7. I know she's not getting enough block. What else is she doing wrong, and do you think one private before states would get her score up enough to not kill her AA, or would it take more work...
