    WAG Baby giant in level 6

    Hey, DD has her first level 6 meet this weekend! (eek!!) We cant watch practice but I noticed the last few minutes last week and saw that she was doing a baby giant and most were not. I asked her and she said that 7 of our 9 level 6's were doing just kip cast dismount off high but 2 of them...

    WAG Level 6 beam

    Does there have to be a connected skill or dismount? DD is doing a bwo bt dismount but is having trouble connecting them. Wondering if it's necessary and if so what the deduction will be

    WAG Women's Level 6

    Can a round off, back tuck be done as a level 6 beam dismount or is ranked too high a skill?

    WAG Level 6 bars question (regarding casts)

    I had thought all cast-to-handstands were out of a kip. Talking with DD, she mentioned S is doing a kip to casthandstand. Then tells me about her casthandstand. I asked about the kip - nope, not yet. Just a cast up into a handstand. Obviously this is a progression, get the casthandstand, then...

    WAG Level 6 beam requirement question

    I KNOW that it's been discussed, but I locate the threads where it was. I've tried searching, but it doesn't seem to be working ;( Anyway, my daughter is at a spot right now where she will be told in August if she will be Level 6, or if she will do a year of Xcel Gold (while working on L6 and...

    WAG Level 6 floor and beam question

    I have tried to search, but it's not working well for me, and I'm trying to figure this out "today". Can someone tell me if a layout is required for L6 floor, or would the ROBHSBT fulfill requirement? Also - is a CWBT dismount on mean necessary, or would a front tuck dismount fulfill that...

    WAG Level 4 or struggle through level 6??

    Okay so I competed level 3 last year. I know, I'm old to be a level 3 but I love it anyways. And my coach isn't taking ANY level 5s this year..(don't ask me why I honestly don't know) But I have every skill I need that's in level 4 except the front handspring on vault☺️ But I'm wondering if I...

    Parents Summer Schedule L6/7 Optionals

    I was wondering how my DD's summer schedule is compared to other L6/7 gymnasts. Just to clarify, all of the girls already qualified for L7, but their skills at the end of the summer will determine their comp level for next season. They will be practicing 4 days per week for a total of 18hrs per...

    WAG Level 6 Beam-Back extension roll

    Does this meet the Level 6 requirements for beam?. DD was working on it for Level 5 instead of the BWO, but now the team is doing 6 instead. She is doing really well with it. I think it is actually a beautiful skill , but wondering if she can now use it.

    Parents Repeat Level 4 or Struggle through Level 6

    8 year old DD had a good first season of competing this year, winning state on vault and having a high all around score of just under 36. She is struggling to get all of her Level 6 skills,especially on bars. She is a decent tumbler and an outstanding vaulter. She very much wants to remain...

    WAG Level 6 Floor - Tumbling

    Just a quick question to parents/coaches - do your level 6 gymnasts compete 2 tumbling passes on floor or 3? I have coached levels 3-5 for the past few years at my current gym; however, we just hired a new coach that will take over pre-team and level 3. So I am now coaching levels 4-6. I...

    WAG Level 6 Requirements

    Could anyone direct me to the basic requirements for Level 6? I have no problem finding the info for compulsories on the USAG website, but don't seem to be able to figure out where to find info optionals. I know it supposed to be somewhat similar to Level 5, but am trying to figure out how they...

    WAG level 5 vs level 6

    What is the advantage (if there is one) of doing level 5 vs scoring out of 5 and going to level 6? The majority of gyms near us seem to skip from level 4 to 6, but there is one gym competing level 5 and then skipping up to 7. Are the skills for levels 5&6 the same? Just curious.

    WAG Level 6 bars

    Can someone explain to me in layman's terms (not "A skill" "B skill, etc") what is the difference in requirements from Level 5 bars to level 6 bars? I've tried to find some routines on Youtube, and the only consistent thing I can see is that a cast coming out of a kip needs to cast into...

    WAG Level 6 tumbling pass options

    I posted a couple of month ago about my daughter ( age 10) level 4 who was struggling with mental block on RO BHS BHS. We just finished state meet and honestly it never really got better. She would complete with the coach coming out on floor but not touching her, she could not run but would...

    WAG What are the typical L6/7 beam skills?

    So I am in unchartered waters, and have no clue what DD needs for L6 or 7 on beam. I think this will be the hardest one for DD because of fear. Can she do a BWO- BT dismount? I see most people doing CW-BT... Are there any unusual things that are allowed? What does she need? Where can I find...

    WAG Level 6/7 training question

    If you had a group of girls who were training for "6/7," but no time was being spent on giants or even flyaways, would you think that they're being steered only to L6? They have been uptraining since Jan. and won't compete until Jan. 2016. They have only done giants on strap bar and only one...

    Coaches level 6 tumbling

    wondering if anyone out there can tell me if a FHS-PF-PF is an allowable level 6 tumbling pass..? I can't really see why not, but want to be safe rather than sorry!

    WAG Required length of Level 6 floor routine

    Hi all! Just an observation and quick question. At a meet over the weekend, Dd competed against a Level 6 team that had extremely short floor routines. I didn't time them, but they were definitely shorter than the norm. Despite this, the team all scored extremely well on floor (mid 9's). Is...

    WAG Level 6 struggles

    DD is 11 and a level 6. At our gym 6 is someone who has competed 5 and has all of their L7 skills on 3/4 events. For my DD, she is missing her giant. Our HC really looks to it as a bridge to 7, so we have all L7 routines except no giant on bars. Here's the trouble...1:30 minute L7 floor music...
