level 7

DD had her bhs beautifully and is now going thru a major mental block which actually pulled her down a level for this season to L 6. She can do round off's on beam beautifully. Now that L 7 training is near (again for her) she is scared to death of this skill, won't even do it on low beam. Her...

HI all-- Want some success stories about kids who struggled with L7 (or other optionals) and repeated and found their way...my DD seems so far off-- an injury sidelined her for months and now she is doing bare minimum on skills and her scores show that. Her coaches say they are not going to...

I thought Level 7 bars were pretty standard, but I have seen lots of funky stuff this season and I'm just curious about deductions and start values. Some of the routines were clearly missing elements (I've seen a few do kip, cast (not to HS), clear hip (again, not HS), flyaway...I'm sure that is...

Is it possible--meaning have you actually seen--a L7 score well without giants on bars. what about without a BHS on beam-- a dive cartwheel? I know folks will say she shouldn't compete L7, but these are not long term solutions-- post-injury, coaches want her to do meets just to get back out...

It's my first season coaching an optional group and I want to quickly clarify something. The special requirement asks for a Layout on Floor. Is my gymnast allowed to compete a Full and cover that requirement or no? Thanks for your time!

Looking for a definite answer from someone who knows for sure: Can a gymmie compete L7 beam without a BHS? I have a L6 with a paralyzing BWO fear. She just got 2nd place on beam without it (yay DD!). I think by next year she could manage the rest of the skills for L7, but I'm wondering if...

Is a switch leap a B skill only if it hits 180? What are other commonly performed B skills for L7 floor? And why is it so hard to just find lists of A/B/C/... skills online?

Quick question, would a Level 4 vault that scores 9.3 score 9.3 in level 7? Are they scored the same in each level, or are there additional requirements that come into play? Curious how this works as the gymnast goes for a long time without changing vaults.

I have a quick question regarding Level 7 Bars. It's my first year coaching optional levels and putting together routines so I want to verify that I have all the required skills in there. I have two level 7s and one of them is afraid of giants (Although she does them very well when I talk her...

A mom I know whose DD goes to another gym had a discussion with another mom from her team during this weekends meet. The other mom complained to my friend that her daughter should have done a full in her tumbling series since she is capable of doing them. I saw a lot of level 7 fulls in...

I am looking for a video of a bar routine with giant free hip giant combo. After 2 years of level 6 my DD hits her feet on the mat after free hip on low bar. Also, her cast HS is not vertical. In order to help with these deductions, she is experimenting with an immediate squat on and only one...

My 10 year old level 7 has been asked by the coach to also compete as an 8 in the same meet. Is this against USAG rules? The coach also said we do not have to declare a level until February. My daughter wants to be a 7 at states. If she qualifies for level 8 states during a meet, can she still...

Does anyone have video of a L7 bar routine without giants (preferably one that scored decently)? My DD is getting down to the wire here. And YES, her HC said she "could" still do 7 without giants, so I'm just trying to see what that might look like.

Hey y'all.......so anyone have any good ideas for replacing the BHS in L7 beam? Just wondering what else might work until my munchkin gets over this darn block. I know the round off is one......does a FWO work? Her BHS is morphing too.....it now looks all wide, and messy.....oh well...I think...

Special requirements 2 circling elements from Groups 3, 6 and 7. So Giants, Clear hip, Stalder, what are other options Sole circle? Can they do 2 clear hip circles instead of giants? Some ideas please.

My dd, age 12, is having a huge mental block on BHS on high beam. It's ridiculous. So bad that the coach is thinking of having her compete 6 until this issue resolves. Her coach wants BHS on beam, states the judges don't like round off's instead of BHS. She has all her other level 7 skills, a...

Is it possible to compete level 7 bars without a giant? Or are they a strict requirement ?

DD can do a decent FHS vault, but she is pretty small and struggles with the 'power' aspect. She frequently will do her FHS with a slight arch and snap to hollow right after she hits the vault table to increase the rebound. It seems she could have an easy time pulling off a Yami since there is a...

Are there other vault options besides FHS in level 7 ?

Dd has fallen in love with the floor music Torn by Lanier. How many of you have heard it in comp? Her coach does not want her to have something super popular. I haven't heard it in comp yet. I usually hear a ton of pirates and resolve. How about you all? She has had skyfall by Adele for two...
