DD had second level 6 meet of the season Friday 8am check in. We were hoping for some small improvement from the first meet, not sure how much improvement we got - dd says her routines were overall improved but the scores don't necessarily show it. First up was bars - still struggling with the...
First - Thanks for all the Good Luck Wishes!
Well we have the first level 6 meet under our belt, so we can relax and start looking forward to the next.
DD did ok - not her best performance but she took home two medals, so she was happy and her team placed 3rd.
First up was floor -...
Hi all! Emma had her second level 6 meet. This is the meet that last year she feel off beam twice. So, going into this meet she was very nervous. Although beam turned out great! Normally Emma's best event is bars, but as she said, "I just had a bad bar day". Gotta love her attitude. No excuses...
Well, DD had her first L6 meet yesterday and even though I was working time the other side of the gym on beam, I did get to peak over and watch most of her routines!
Beam was first, she was first in rotation to go. For some reason, she hates AAI beams this year. Gym got a new one, others...
It was a long day, report time was 4:45pm. LM was by herself but ended up in a squad with one of her former teammates and best buddies. Afterwards she told me she likes competing alone, it helps her stay focused, lol. She had her favorite coach and that was all she needed. Another former...
Ok, It was not Big D best performance, but she is happy and I am happy too.
First went Bars, she did a great routine, her casts were above 45 and so was her clear hip circle, but not nearly close to a HS (she is working on that) at her gym they don't let the girls cast to HS while arching...
I have really been struggling with the dismount on beam i just can't seem to get it all put together. I have a really archy handstand because I have very bad shoulder flexability and can never seem to get my arms over my head. I was wondering if anyone had any drills or suggestions on how to...
Hi all! Well she made it through her first level 6 meet! It was very long and I think we finally got done with awards around 10:30 p.m. Emma did a great job! She pushed back her fears of the robhs bt, and flyaway, and went for it all. She needs some spit and polish, but not bad considering her...
LM competed at the Acorn Team Cup so if you didn't have enough kid in your level to make a team (3) they were put in a mixed "all star" session - we had Level 3's, 5, 6, 7's.
LM had her favorite coach there so she was very positive.
First up was bars - warmups looked great! However, she...
Hi all,
Just getting ready to head out for Emma's first meet as a level 6. I am not usually this nervous, but it has been a stressful start to the season for Emma. Today's meet is a small venue and a neat Halloween theme. However, between her severs syndrome, fear of her flyaway, and just...
Hey everyone! For some reason I couldn't post this video, so I'm just sharing the link here. Naomi had her level 6 move-up meet this weekend and got her score! Her scores were 9.0 on vault, 7.55 on bars, 9.175 on beam and 9.425 on floor. The video I'm sharing is her floor routine.

Well the judges were brutal is how I will start this...
I am new to this state and heard that the Nebraska judges were tough but wow.....
Okay....
Let's start with Madi...
She has improved so much in the past week with these routines... I was so proud of her.
Madi got to start on bars and...
Big D is competing tomorrow at the District Championship, I know that everybody qualifies to South State so I just hope she will have a good and clean meet and have fun, but she is putting a lot of pressure on herself because she have had a good season this year (36's and 37"s). She is my...
How high must the straddle jump be in the beginning of the Level 6 floor routine? What's the deduction if it isn't as high as it should be......and how do they get it higher?? :confused:
I have several boys who have been struggling with the moy on the level 6 p-bars routine (and this has long been a skill I have had trouble teaching well). Today, I had several of my boys experiment with more of a Tippelt-type tap (ie comming through the bottom in a glide shape rather than a...
Since we were shorted about 2 months of training... I think Emily did great.
We got to start off on Vault... Emily's favorite event of course:)
Looked good but I think would have been better at one setting lower than she vaulted on which was a 4 or 5 not totally sure. I think she looks great...
well after getting her back walkover last week... we regressed again this week but tonight I was at open gym with her just standing with my hand out and she was doing them... However, they won't do that. She has to do 110 more back walkovers by tomorrow to even compete it plus she has to do 3...
