    Men Is Level 8 easier than Level 7

    This is a debate I am having with HCoach. He insists you must do L 7 to have a good L 8. A friend who is a boys judge says no, L8 is easier.

    Women TX Level 8 State Participation

    At the start of the state meet this weekend, the head of TxUSAG stated that there were 80 more participants than last year. I find that incredible. That is a 34% increase. I wish USAG would post annual participation numbers. I am wondering what else everyone is noticing in their state and...

    Women L8 - not up to level deductions?

    Now that the regular season is coming to a close, I was curious what judges and coaches have been seeing on the deductions for "not up to competitive level" for level 8. Are judges using this deduction for routines that don't include the 1 extra allowable 'C' skill? How about for 'A' vs 'B'...

    Women Level 8 beam help

    My DD is a level 8 who has been dealing with an elbow issue (little league elbow) for the past month. She is starting to come back, but BHS on beam (and on floor) still bother her elbow. Her current beam routine has BHS BHS in it, but her elbow may not be ready for that impact. Any thoughts...

    Women Level 8 Vaulting

    What criteria are used in deciding to have a gymnast vault a tsuk versus a yurchenko? How early does a coach make a decision? How common is it for gymnasts to learn both?
