    hi - just had a few questions and thank you in advance for any replies. Beam - my daughter's coach told the girls that when they do their full turn on beam they should kick up their leg at the end and kinda hold it before landing? Is that true? She basically looks like she's about to fall...

    lvl 8 tumbling pass question

    My dd, who is a new lvl 8 is excited about her floor pass. I'm just wondering if it's a reasonable pass for lvl 8 or if she is trying to put too much in to one pass. She wants a front tuck step out, robh half with a punch front. She is the only one on her lvl attempting this. I'm very proud...

    level 8 bars ?

    I have a scoring question. My DD does a cast handstand on low bar and high bar. She does her clear hip on low bar. She doesn't always hit handstand on casts but comes really close. Her clear hips are not to handstand. Her team mate does none on the low bar. Her cast on high bar is pretty...

    State Stream level 8 and 9

    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?!

    L8 states the great the good and the ugly!

    On a positive note she got her highest vault, floor, and AA for the year at states. The most positive was a second place on vault with 9.4 of the 14 yr old session! In the regional age group of 13-14 she still placed 5th out of 58 on vault. She even only did one vault because her ankles were...

    Level 8 bars - accidental coach touch deduction

    At states this weekend, my daughter landed both vaults but on the second, better vault, her vault coach I think instinctively reached out and accidentally touched her as she was coming off the horse or upon landing. Her HC said it was no big deal because her vault was really good, it was high...
