    Transistion to Level 6

    Our gym (YMCA) has never done a season of level 6 before. Generally they do Level 3, 4, 5, novice prep op, intermediate prep op, do a meet to score out of level 6, then go to Level 7. But this year the group they have coming out of level 5 (my DD included) are all much younger than the current...

    Coaches Deduction for Extra Swing/Pauses (Level 6 Bars)

    I meant to look this up before I left work but forgot and am sure somewhere here knows the answer. I was thinking an extra swing in the level 6 bar routine was around a .3 deduction, but what about pausing to adjust grip or just stopping before the next skill? Is it the same or a lesser...

    lvl 6 bar question

    Would you rather see a cast to handstand and go over/miss the free hip or be safe and cast just high enough. I know going over would be a fall but dd just got her cast handstand and spent some time yesterday trying to work it in. She was only making her free hip or not going over about half the...

    Parents Level 6? Level 7? Prep Op?

    What are your thoughts on these levels? It seems that around here, the gyms do things differently after level 5. Some do level 6. Some do "Prep Op" (am still not 100% certain of what this consists of). Some do level 7. What are the disadvantages of going from level 5 to level 7? Am trying to...

    Level 6 Beam Deduction Question

    DD had a meet this weekend and had a good, clean beam routine. When she went to handstand to dismount, she didn't make it up all the way and came back down on the beam. She then re-did the handstand but into the turned position and dismounted. My question is, did she lose all points for that...

    jHHEcfIhFrU This weekend was the KICK-OFF. We went last year and had a blast so we were looking forward to this year . . and we had our eyes on the spirit award. Last year the team that won had all male coaches wearing little cheer costumes. We figure you only get to win for that once - and...

    Parents Big Changes for Trixie - Move to L6!

    Title says it all... Trixie had asked to move to L6 the summer but the HC told her to wait and see how the first few meets went. Apparently well enough! Trixie's bar coach approached me a few weeks ago to see how I'd feel about the move and I thought it would be good for her - more hours in...

    Blind L6 Gymnast in Texas (awesome story!)

    I am friends with USAG on facebook and today they posted a link to this story. It's about 10 year old Lola, a L6 gymmie who is legally blind. I can't figure out how to turn to captions on the video but the comments made it seem like a very heart warming and inspiring story, thought I would...

    Coaches Floor Regulations for Level 6

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knew the regulations for floor springs for level 6. Do they have to be 6 inch springs or can they be 4 inch springs! Any help will be grateful! Thanks so much!

    Parents Meet Report - 2nd level 6

    The parents from the session before us said the judging was tough...and we were the last session of the weekend. 4:30 on a Sunday night - ugh. We had a bunch of tired judges. Not for nothing but they may have dozed off when kids fell LOL. But as usual scoring makes no sense. And I'm sure...

    Hi My daughter's first Level 6 meet is tomorrow. She's ready for everything but bars! She's only done her flyaway once or twice without a spot....she can do it but is afraid! After practice last night she was excited that she 'just about did it' with only a light hand spot 'just in case' :)...

    Parents Kyrie's 2nd and Last Level 6 competition, 7yo

    Kyrie had her last Level 6 competition this weekend. She did really good and got 2nd AA. We just had to switch gyms because unfortunately our gym recently closed. The new gym uses the new music so she was a bit behind since she only worked on it a few times with that music. We do love our new...

    Level 6 FHS Pass...Drills?

    I have a few girls that are really struggling with keeping straight legs when they are landing/pushing out of the first (step out) front handspring in the level 6 pass and going into the second one (2 foot)....Any suggestions?
