    WAG Level 5 ending poses

    So are these pre-determined poses for floor that can be used, or are they completely made up? I have seen many similar endings....some very, well, ?...

    Parents Level 5 skills

    At what level did your gymmie start learning/uptraining for level 5 skills? It seems like a big jump from level 4 to level 5 skill wise, and seems more drills and exposure to l5 skills early on would make for a smoother transition. It seems level 4 is a common level to repeat because of this...

    WAG Level 5 bars

    DD is currently L4, will have her state meet in about a month. She's currently uptraining (they always uptrain one level) for (I guess) L5. Her gym gives no clue as to what they are doing with L5 or L6. I'm not sure what to expect for next year, and asking HC got me nowhere, just a "we cannot...

    WAG LVL 4/LVL 5 Vault

    DD is almost done with her first LVL 4 season. My DD and the rest of her team lag behind the rest of the field on vault scores. Scores ranges in the sevens and eights across the board. I think I have seen 1-2 9s this season across the team. The optional team seems to be vaulting in line with...

    Parents New level 5 and 6

    Is there really a difference between new level 5 and new level 6 in terms of skill difficulty? Obviously level 6 is optionals and the gymnasts get their own routines but if a gymnast has all of their level 5 skills can they easily compete level 6 instead after obtaining a qualifying score in a...

    WAG Level 5/6 beam

    what are the main requirement differences for the two levels? Is a BHS required in 6 but not 5?

    WAG Level 5 and 6 in the same season.

    According to USAG rules, is it possible to compete level 5 for a for a mobility score then move to level 6 optionals in the same season?

    MAG level 5 to 7

    Any thoughts on how likely this move is for a 13 year old? He's been a slow learner gym wise (started late - competed L4 at age 10/11) but is getting strong now, and more dedicated (which is some ways is unfortunate because I had hoped to eventually cut back on the family gym budget!) He...

    Coaches Stalder/Toe-on for Level 5 Bars

    Anybody have kids competing a stalder or toe-on instead of a free hip? If so, how are you training it? How's it working for you? What do you see as the advantages/disadvantages compared to a free hip? I have a few girls drilling towards them, but so far it looks like when competition rolls...

    Parents Level 5 to 6

    My DD currently competes as a level 4 and will be moved to level 5 after this season is completed. The coach wants her to compete in two meets at level 5 next year and then go directly into level 6. The coach said she will learn both level 5 compulsory routines and level 6 optional routines over...

    WAG Level 5 vs 6 vs 7

    Talking with our program director tonight, I think we're going to have most of our 4s score out of 5 and compete level 6 next year. Now that we've been through almost a whole season with the new levels I'm interested to hear what your gym did with these three levels. Score out of 5 and compete...

    WAG Level 5 Routine Deductions

    In the USAG level 5 beam routine, the gymnast must hit a handstand and immediately take two releve' steps backwards in order to complete the skill, right? Is there an alternative to this? If so, what? If not, what, if any, would be the deduction for failing to take these two steps?

    WAG L5 Training L7

    My DD (9) just moved to L5 at the beginning of the year. Her coach told me today she wants to move her to L7 (she's been uptraining a lot since she already has all her L5 skills clean) but she's not strong enough yet for bars. Her plan, from what I got from her (there is a bit of a language...

    WAG COP Question: Split Angle Requirements L4 and L5

    Hello, just wondering what the sissone and leap and straddle jump requirements for split angle on floor for L4 are. How about leaps on beam? How much does the requirement increase for L5? Where is the angle measured from? It is bottom of knee on forward leg to front of knee on back leg...

    WAG What is the average age of girls in level 5?

    I am just curious. My DD is quite young, and in our state she is one of the two- three youngest in her level at every meet. I was just wondering what the average age of level five is across the country. I know some states have just a ton of girls competing, so I was curious if there were more...

    WAG L5 bars deduction question

    How high should the swings be on the high bar before the flyaway dismount? (front and back swings) What are the deductions if they aren't met? Thanks!

    Parents New L4/L5 social group

    Because that what most members wanted, this group has been set to private (but you can join by asking a mod). There were a few members deleted because they had not responded to a thread asking to post within 3o days or be removed (most members felt most comfortable with this option). If for some...

    WAG Skipping New L5

    What happens if a gymnast does not get a mobility score in either the Old L6 or New L5 and goes on to compete New L6? There is a girl on my DD's team that left gymnastics for about 7 months and has returned but never competed old JO L6 (did xcel platinum with my DD for 1 year) I don't think...

    GO level 5 bar routine question

    Can someone please tell me what the requirements for a new level 5 bar routine. I am hearing conflicting info. Is a baby giant a requirement? What about kip to high bar, tap swing, counter swing, tap swing flyaway? Our club is making our level 5 girls do baby giants, another coach from another...

    MAG L5 versus L6

    Maybe I am just mis-remembering the early fall adventures last year, but it seems to me, as a casual observer, that the jump for the boys from 5-6 is bigger than the jump from 4-5. In my son's group of guys who competed L5 last year, I think everyone is missing at least one major element for one...
