level 7

With our season ends soon approaching a lot of moms are thinking if having their child repeat L7 because their daughters aren't consistent in their skills. What are your opinionsite? What will your factors be for repeating.

What are the most common tumbling passes for level 7 floor? I mean I can read this: 1. One Acro series (min.3 directly connected flight elem. - one a back layout to 2 feet) 2. A direct connection of 2 or more forward acro elements with flight – one must be a salto or aerial 3. Dance Passage w/...

All the posts about stress fractures in girls' backs, confirm my desire to keep my daughter from doing back walkovers on the beam. As she moves to level 7 and needs a series, what are options that don't include a back walkover? She's currently competing back handspring at level 5.

So my son is a first-year level seven. He is 11 years old but after the age change they make him compete as a 12 year old. Therefore when he becomes an level eight next year as a 13 year old it is my understanding that he will be too old to qualify for Nationals. I think he could qualify for...

My DD competes kip cast hs, clear hip, kip cast squat on, jump to high bar kip cast hs, giant, giant, layout flyaway. I know this contains all the required elements. Her clear hip isn't the best, but at an innersquad yesterday she received feedback that because her clear hip came from a...

Does a level 7 beam routine need to have a forward acro move or can they be all backwards (back walkovers, back handsprings, etc?) Thank you for any input!

If you havent read the thred, Transferring to L7 After one year in gym I reccomend reading that before this one so this one will make more sense :) ) So now that DD's (12) Last practice is tomorrow (from her 2 week trial at L7) we had a very tough decision to make. We started thinking about it...

Before reading any of this I would like to say I don't know much about level 7. Would any on these skills work in a routine and what extra stuff would be needed to met minimum requirements Beam: leap-switch leap, straddle jump-tuck jump, gainer dismount. Floor: would it be possible to do...

So, the gym were at is a secondary gym from the main gym so the owner isnt usually at the second gym to often. Yesterday he came to coach the Xcel Platinums/Diamonds (my dd (12) is in gold) But sometimes she trains with the platinums if gold has to many people that day. And that was one of the...

I am not sure if all regions use the division I and II or A and B, but our region does. Division I gets credit for bonuses and division II does not. It is there to help "level the playing field"--I suppose. Our coaches want to place our son in division II to start the season. We did this...

If a gymnast is successful at level 7 shouldn't that mean he will be successful at level 8? I have always been told that level 7 is harder than level 8.

While i was looking for information for a thread on level 8 bars, i found this in the cheat sheet: Would it be possible to do a low-bar only level 7 routine? I think so because there is not a "minimum of 1 bar change", like there is for levels 6 and 8. This is just out of curiosity, since i...

My DD wants to know if full are allowed in level 7?

DD has never been a strong FHS vaulter. Is 1/4 on 1/4 off an allowable 10.0 SV Level 7 vault? I looked at a vault chart but wasn't sure what I was reading or if it was the most updated chart. She is working 1/2 on 1/2 off which seems to be on the chart. Also- is there any rumor of the...

Quick question.... Does a small stumble coming out of a tumbling pass count as a fall?? My dd said they counted the small stumble after her second tumbling pass as a fall. She got a 9.450 as it was but she was bummed thinking it would have been a half point higher had that not counted as a...

good luck everyone! Go region one !

I am hoping that someone who knows the requirements of L7 can help me with something that I can't seem to get an answer for from either my dd or her coach. Her L7 floor routine keeps losing its start value. In the past 4 meets I have noticed that the judges lowered her start value to 9.7. Prior...

I thought I read on the board somewhere that L7 vault will be changing in 2018 (to include some kind of timer?) Anyone know for sure? Will FHS still be an option?

I'm looking for specific information on the series for L7 beam and the connection especially for a BWO-BWO series.......we seem to be running into some major deductions and loosing the connection value because they are not doing it right. Mine does if fast....no hesitation, but still won't get...

Dd had a new one this weekend. She she hit her foot on the high bar doing her layout flyaway. So, her coach put his arm out to catch her. She landed it clean, but he did touch her before she saluted. I was told this counts as a fall since the coach touched her. (I don't blame him, he was...
