    Parents Dd's Level 8 Meet Video

    I thought that she fell short on her 1st vault, but she actually fell onto her back (which is better in my opinion! :o) YouTube - Northeast Invite Level 8 2009 Next meet is on Sunday, maybe this one she will pull it all together... ;) Hope you enjoy!

    Parents Dd's Level 8 Meet Report

    Parents Bittersweet 1st L8 meet

    Well, the 1st L8 meet is over and done with. How my gymmie got through it, I have no idea. This will be a pretty long story. We got a call midweek that one of gymmie's grandparents had passed away. Pulled her out of school early that day, didn't even think of practice. We are about 2,000 miles...

    Parents First L8 Meet!

    Well - The lesson that we learned from Beetle's first L8 Meet was.. L8 scoring is tough!!! And Confidence makes a WORLD of difference!! The team started up on Beam... typically Beetle's favorite and best event. She got up and started great.. then wobbled after her BHS.. She danced forward...

    Level 8 Regional Qualifications (Region 8)

    Could someone help explain how Level 8 regional qualifying works - Region 8 as an example had 319 at regionals. Rules state: All stars is 208 + plus all ties + additional 54 athletes. State team = 64 / 8 per state. As an example Lousiana had only 13 qualifiers, obviously 8 were for team, why...

    Parents Dd's 1st Level 8 Meet Report

    Dd had first Level 8 meet yesterday. She competed Capital Cup and there were 22 girls in her age group (9-12yr olds). I'll try to keep this simple: First up Floor: She hit all her passes and did a beautiful job, but stepped out of bounds on her first pass. Funny thing was, she was so...

    Level 8 Beam-Acro Series

    My daugther is trying to move to Level 8 and is not comfortable with the BWO/BHS or the BHS/BHS on beam. Her coach has given her the option of a: Roll backward to handstand (6.204-B) & BHS, Does this fullfill the Acrobatic series requirement? Can a roll backward to handstand be part of the...

    Coaches Level 8 bar requirement

    I know they have a choice of a turn (usually a pirouette) or a bar change with release (baille, toe shoot, straddle back). Could a giant full be used for the turn?
