    Parents Level 8 to 9 upgrades....

    My DD was doing Split Jump(180) / Wolf Jump for her Level 8 beam dance series and just recently the coached changed it to - Straight Jump / Split Jump(180). I am not an expert but is a Straight Jump at Level 8 okay. It seems kind of simple. Is it even in the code of points? Does it fill the...

    Does DD have to remove skills for L8?

    Hi all! there was a post on one of the forums about the new J.O. Code of Points for 2009 (couldn't find it again to ask my question there!:rolleyes:). From what little I read, it sounds like L8 gymmies will have to restrict their routines to include only A & B skills, with the exception of...

    Level 8 Bars - Extra Elements

    My dd starts her Level 8 bars with - Glide Kip; Cast to Handstand 180 turn; however, she came up short on cast to handstand and proceded into a series of clear hip to handstands (actually she did 3 of them) before she was able to complete her 180 turn. My question is what kind of deduction for...

    We have a unique problem at my daughter's gym. We do not have enough ceiling clearance to train giants,:( so my level 8 daughter has to rely on her pirouette which she struggles with at times. (We are desperately searching for a new facility) Any ideas on how she can shine on bars without a...

    She is inching her way up, sloooowwwwwwly! Compared with 2 weeks ago, DD improved on Beam, FX and bars. Vault is another story. I didn't get to see warmups as they were in a separate gym, so I didn't know until afterwards that the warmup for Vault was into a pit, just like our gym. The girls...
