    DD's first L6 meet

    Well, the Reader's Digest version is that she was not happy right afterward, but I think she's feeling OK about it now. She had two big goals that she did not achieve (flyaway and front tuck), but as I reminded her, 1) it's only one meet, 2) it's her first meet at this level, and 3) a heck of a...

    2nd level 6 meet

    Good meet today. Well organized and running on time. Went out 9 places... First was bars. Missed her squat-on. Stupid squat-on. 7.35. No place. I think the rest of the routine looked pretty good though. I definitely see an 8 in her future! Next was floor. Big improvement from last time. Tucks...

    The Correct Way to do the Level 6 Floor Routine

    I was browsing on Gymnastike and spotted these and thought the coaches might be interested. It talks about the details of the routine and where judges take deductions and what they expect to see. Part 1 -...

    Oy, Level 6

    Well, today was DD's first level 6 meet and it was everything that it was built up to be. Generally, it was just a lot of small mistakes that add up. Worse thing was she didn't qualify for state (which I ignorantly thought wouldn't be a problem). Vault - 8.4 -- she was always around a 9 in...

    2nd level 6 meet is done

    Dd's second level 6 meet is over. I don't even know what her AA score was, but she scored in the 8's on all events and she improved on 3 of the 4. I consider that a great meet and she is very happy with how she did. It was interesting though, because we could not figure out what happened...

    DD's Level 6 Mock Meet results (1st meet of the season in 2 days)

    Hi, just wanted to post the results of DDs mock meet today. I am extremely proud of her and for the beginning of the season did fantastic. This looks to me a great indicator of what, I feel, will be another "kick butt" season! :D Vault - 9.4 Bars - 8.9 (took a fifth off cuz something about her...

    Lvl 6 District Championship Surprise

    Early morning meets never go well when the girls are used to working out late evenings. Started on beam with a fall on full turn for a low 9. Vault, which is her best practice event, is always less than she expects. I think the adrenaline is tough to control and she scored an 8.9. Floor, her...

    Daughter's first level 6 meet

    My daughter competed her first level 6 meet this weekend. I think she did fairly well, but level 6 is TOUGH! She hasn't scored in the 7's in 3 years, so it was quite a shock when her bars were a 7.9. she messed up her squat on among other things. her vault was also rough. She did her first...

    Level 6 "Practice Meet"

    DD had her first level 6 "practice meet" last night at her brand new gym (not only new to her, but new-new... only opened 5 weeks ago). There was a judge, so while not "sanctioned," it should give them a fairly good idea of what to expect next week when they have their first real meet. Scores...

    First Level 6 Meet

    My daughter had her first level 6 meet. I was super pleased that she managed to not fall as she has been struggling with certain skills. I haven't seen her practice much since last year so I was amazed at how much her vault has improved as it traditionally has been one of her worst events...

    Back Extension for on beam (level 6)

    My DD has struggled with BWO on beam, so now she has moved on to back extension rolls, she can get to handstand, but splits way early. Once she is in handstand, she is already splitting. What would the deduction be? Thanks

    Prep optional instead of level 6?

    My dd's gym is now doing prep optional instead of level 6. Does anyone else's gym do this? I don't know all of the details, but I know that they aren't doing the lower levels of prep optional, just the intermediate/silver/and - or advanced/gold (or whatever it might be called depending on the...

    Coaches Handstand 1/1 pirouette (for boys level 6 floor)

    Anybody have any tips for teaching controlled handstand pirouettes on floor? A bit of background: the guy I'm having trouble with is relatively new to gymnastics (and a late starter at 13 years old), but an extraordinarily talented tumbler. He'll be competing level 6 as a floor specialist...

    Level 6 beam dismountt

    I'm having trouble with the level 6 beam dismount. I can do the second half (side handstand, twist off) but I can't seem to hold the regular handstand for two seconds and than connect it to the second half. Whenever I do, I can't hold the side handstand, long enough, or fall the other way then...

    Parents Prep Op and Level 6 concerns...please read and comment :)

    Question: My cousin's daughter's gym is doing away with level 6. They are going to do Level 5, prep op, and then level 7. She asked me my opinion...I hadn't heard of gyms doing this. Does anyone have any thoughts...good, bad, or nuetral. Seems strange to me...but like I said I had never...

    How many hours of practice for L5? L6?

    Hi all, We are in the middle of trying to adjust to a new gym, adjust to my older daughter's new dance schedule, and adjust to life in general. It's not going so well.:p Just kidding. Just lots to figure out. How many hours do your teams practice L5 per week? What about L6? Just trying to...

    level 6

    I am wondering if anyone can give me any information about level 6. My daughter will be a new level 6this year, and I have heard from many people that level 6 is very difficult. I have been told that judging is very tough for level 6. Anyone have a similar experience? Just wondering what the...

    L6 bars-long hang pullover

    Question for coaches or judges: Is there a deduction if the gymnast's hips don't contact the bar in the long hang pullover? If so, how much of a deduction is it? Thanks!
