    Parents For those of you who have shown concern for my L8 DGD and her state meet.

    Ok, she saw the ortho today and they are scheduling surgery for her to have her two fingers repaired. Apparently the dislocations were so close to the joint that some displacement has occurred and they want to repair that. They have mentioned "pins" but we don't know yet about that:confused...

    Region 3 level 8 leotard

    The owner of our gym told us last night that region 3 (I don't know if it's all regions...) is stopping giving out level 8 regional leotards. Does anyone know why they did this and if its true?

    Level 8 State! Exciting!

    Well my DD competed yesterday at state and she qualified for regionals!! She placed 7th on vault with a 9.575, and got a 9.3 on bars. She fell on beam but still got a high 8, (believe it was an 8.9?). Floor was a little dissapointing, she went down 2 or 3 tenths from a 9.5 at the last meet...

    Last Level 8 Meet Report

    Level 8 states

    This good luck forum has been very good to my flipper. She has been trying to clean up some of her stuff, and that often leads to two steps backwards to make one leap forward. She is working so hard and getting a little frustrated, which is ok. She is in a really tough field and the largest...

    Regionals for level 8?

    How exactly do you get to regionals for level 8? My oldest dd has gone to regionals and another one of my dd's has state next week and I relized I still am not sure what she has to do.

    Moving from Level 7 to Level 8

    Is the jump from level 7 to level 8 a difficult one? If so, what are the required skills that gymnasts tend to have difficulty? I've read Level 7 to Level 8 bars is not a big one, but that the vault may be tricky. I am looking for both experiences from gymnasts who have made this transition as...
