    WAG First Level 5 Meet

    Kadee had her first Level 5 meet tonight. She had some really rough spots and some times where she really shined. First was floor. The ROBHSBHS looked really bad. RO was nice, first BHS was okay..legs way apart and knees bent. Second BHS was just scary to see. She is still having this block on...

    WAG Level 5 Vault Arm Circle

    This comes out of a discussion tonight. What is the general train of thought on arm circles, which is better, large or small? What is currently being taught? If a gymnast is doing one type and another type is now being taught, does that hurt the vault score? Sorry for being so general.

    WAG Level 5 vault

    Have any of you ever seen anyone vault on 95 cm in a meet? My little dd has a great vault on 95, but not as good of vault on 100 - just wondering if it happens... I explained to her that it is only 2 inches, but it does affect her a little bit mentally and physically. Any thoughts...

    WAG level 5 bars scoring

    My daughter is a 1st year level 5 & I was wondering if it was better for her to connect everything on bars or pause to get a hihger cast and more momentum, specifically after her kip to the high bar. She can't seem to do both yet.

    WAG Level 5 Vault

    Okay, my DD is 7 and will compete L5 this winter/spring. She is small for her age. (about 5% on height and weight). She gets up and over the vault, that's not an issue. (at the right height and without a spot). She may look like a sway back horse going off the back end..but she gets it done..lol...

    WAG Level 5 Bars - Can you Straddle?

    I have a very tall Level 5 gymnast. The bars do not go out far enough for her to not hit her feet on the low bar when she does her tap swings (she is 5'4''). The bars at our gym are fine, but when we go to meets they always have bars that don't go out far enough. One of the judges said our home...

    WAG Level 5 back handspring pass

    My round off two back handsprings always seems to be better out of a power hurdle than from a run. Are you allowed to compete the routine with a power hurdle? Will they take any deductions?

    Parents level 5 bar dismount

    I have a question about the level 5 dismount on bars. My daughter has been told different things by her different coaches, and I was curious what the "correct" answer to her question is. She turns to her left when dismounting. What are her hands supposed to do? First her right hand. One...

    WAG USAG JO Level 5 Vault Deduction for full spot over vault

    Just curious- is there a standard deduction, as in 2.0 or something like that, for a full spot over the vault table? I am talking about gymnast runs, hurdles, straight jumps and the coach assists with the handspring portion of the vault. Not so worried about scores, really, just curious if...

    WAG Sole Circle - Level 5/6

    Just a quick question, Are you allowed to do a sole circle (stoop circle, dunno what it's really called, basically a squat-on and then you go around the bar and then jump to the high bar) In level 5 or 6 without a deduction? Thanks!

    Flying Off the Bar During Level 5 Dismount!

    I did my Level 5 dismount for the first time ever 2 years ago at camp. I did it onto a mat and I landed it! :D So, last gymnastics class, when they told us we were going to begin practicing Level 5 dismounts over the pit, I was excited. They taught us how to do them, and then set up stations...

    Parents Confused and concerned parent of level 5 boy

    My son competed in level 5 this year and qualified for regionals. However he didn't do that well in regionals, so the coach decided to keep him in level 5. Now he says that he is borded and that his summer training isn't challanging. One thing i noticed is that he is only training 9 hours while...
