    level 8 tumbling

    Are three tumbling passes needed in a L8 and/or L9 floor routine? I believe there needs to be three saltos with two being in the same pass. So can all requirements be met in two passes. My daughter is having some trouble with endurance.

    level 8 vault scoring

    I thought I knew how this worked but now I'm not sure. My DD, 12 year old level 8, is telling me they average the 2 vault scores. I always thought they took the better of the 2. Does that change at L8 and higher? What if she has a vault that doesn't count?

    Skills Allowed in Level 8

    I've recently moved gyms, and the gym that I go to now has pretty high standards. You have to do basically the "gold level skills" and then some. But before I started working the skills into a routine, I wanted to make sure that the skills are allowed in level 8, and if they are A, B, C, or...

    First level 8 meet of the season...

    Hey, level 8 meet today! :) I got my vault, but I'm nervous for beam. I need to get my bwo bhs at least, but I keep stopping between each. Everyone tells me it's easier to just go for it (righttt...) so prayers and the bwo bhs on beam fairy are needed!

    Coaches Help with Level 8 12 year old

    DD does not seem to have huge fears on anything except her full on floor. Just wondering if any of you have any words of wisdom that I can pass on to her. She has gotten most all of her 8 skills including a pike back and giants on bars, tusk vault, bhs's beam, front tuck, bounder, front tuck...

    Are two double salto passes allowed in a Level 8 floor routine? Is there a deduction if you do two?

    "Skipping" Level 8

    Hey Chalkbucket, I am 13 years old and a level 7 gymnast. Being a bit old for my level and track, I was wondering how huge the differences between level 8 and 9 are. Here are my opinions: Bars- You need a release move, which I really want to learn, and a double back, which I'm very...

    Toe Up in Level 8?

    Are you aloud to do a toe up/chinese situp, or whatever you call it, in level 8? My friend at gym is planning on competeing it, but wasn't sure whether it is aloud or not. My coach thinks it is, but one of the parents at my gym is sure that it isn't. Listening to the coach is the more logical...
