    Two more 'A' skills for level 7 beam?

    I need two more 'A' skills for my beam routine for level 7. I need my 180 degree split yet. I know a split jump is a 'B' skill and I don't need any more 'B's and like I said I need the 'A's. So what should I do? I was thinking a split leap and some type of jump connection. Thanks for any help. :)

    L7 and L8

    Can someone PLEASE explain to me what the difference is between Level 7 and Level 8... I've heard a lot of people saying that there is a HUGE difference.. But I've also been hearing that they are really really similar and Level 7 is just getting you prepared for bigger competitions?!

    Level 7 State Report

    Well, I'm done competing now! It was my best meet of the season, but it still wasn't great. Ugh. It doesn't really look like my routines are going to get any cleaner, either... UB - 8.675 - 2nd place; I finally made my giant with straight arms in competition! Yay! I've been doing it in practice...

    level 7 floor question... please help!

    Level 7 floor question: How much of a deduction will you get on floor if you only do a front-handspring front-tuck and a back-tuck? Will the deduction decrease or change if you do a front-handspring front-tuck and two back tucks? Are there any alternatives to a back-layout that would fulfill...

    8 year old level 7 doing her Giants in a meet first time

    I haven't been on in a long time but have enjoyed reading about all the successes your young gymmies are having. States are in 2 weeks and I can't believe the season of craziness is almost over. Background...my little gymmie was a level 5 last season, tested and made it onto the National Tops...

    Floor Routine Video from first L7 meet

    I haven't done this in forever, so I hope I can figure out how to embed it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_c0sRLSvYs&feature=youtu.be When I moved the video from my camcorder to computer, it split it into 5 different parts and each skipped a tiny bit, especially between the last two so...

    First L7 meet report

    We had our first optional meet yesterday. Can I say how much I LOVE optionals??? Not only is it about a gazillion times more fun to be at a meet without listening to the same midi soundtrack on repeat for hours but Allison is totally in her element as an optional. She had so much fun yesterday...

    Level 7 or level 8

    Hi everyone the coaches decide which level to put you in in a week. I was wondering what you think I should be in Vault: yuchenko full with a spot on 4, good front handspring on 7 Bars: giants, layout flyaway, cast handstand, free hip to handstand, free hip to giant Beam: handspring...

    Level 7 Scoring

    Hi, My DD is new to level 7 this year. Any expectations/pointers/information any of you can give me on this level would be great. One specific question I have is floor scoring. Does anyone know what they look for? With everyone having a different routine what are things that can be deducted...

    L7 Floor champion - with one arm!

    Last April my dd broke her wrist, then broke it again in June, then broke her finger in August. She was finally back to full training mid October, went to state training clinic in November and re-injured her wrist. She was determined to not completely miss out on our home meet this last...

    Level 7 Bar Questions

    Hi My DD is a new level 7. She has her giants but not her giant giant fly away. What is the deduction for doing a giant giant kip cast fly away instead of a flyaway from her giant giant? And what about if she does a giant giant pull over swing fly away? I hope I said that all right! Also I...

    Level 7

    First L7 meet - could have gone worse

    Well, it was sort of a practice meet and sort of not. Vault - 8.65; I need to work more on the handspring for competition instead of tsuks and fulls Bars - (3rd place) 8.35; very exciting since I messed up the high bar section; I did a really good cast on the low bar, though Beam (3rd place) -...
