    Women Competing 2 L8 Vaults

    This question is from DD - can you compete 2 different vaults in a single meet? She seems to be going back and forth on whether to compete tsuk pike or tsuk tuck. I think she wants to compete pike, but doesn't land it as much as tuck. Is there any restriction on changing for 2nd vault?

    What National level is similar to Level 8 in US?

    I am the Mum (Aussie expat) of an 11year old Level 8 gymnast in the USA. I am wondering what level in the National stream she could be in Australia? At level 8 they do 4A's and 4 B's in their routines. I have looked for info on Australia websites, but not easy to find - so hoping this forum may...

    Women Level 8 Beam

    If a level 8 does a BHS layout step-out on beam, does that cancel out the back tuck? Should it be either or???

    Women Level 8 1/2?

    My understanding is that the changes for 8 were small. Allowing for a few C skills. Does anyone know specifically what C's will be allowed on each event?

    Women Level 8 beam & floor requirements

    Can someone clarify the level 8 allowable/required skills on beam and floor? Our girls have been working back tucks on beam, but the coaches are now saying that only C dance skills are allowed on beam & floor. No C acro. This contradicts my understanding from previous threads on here. I have...

    Women L8 - Composition Deductions and New Cs

    I looked back at some of the old threads before the optional requirements were finalized and was curious about a couple schools of thought. First, has there been any discussion at some of the training conferences whether judges should be looking to take additional deductions for those gymnasts...

    Women Tsuk Layout - Are they allowed in L8?

    DD tried a tsuk layout for the first time today. She thought it was a lot easier and she could get more air out of it than her pike. Is that an allowable vault at L8? I understand that it's a 10 SV at L9, so figure she needs to compete the pike this year. She's got a good pike, but she...

    Women New level 8? Can someone give me a general explanation of the requirements?

    Could someone give me a general explanation of the requirements for the "new" level 8? I've seen the links to the requirements but they tend to confuse me a little. And if there's anything else I should know about it, feel free to add it.
