level 9

I've had BT on beam consistently for quite some time now. About a week ago, I decided it would be an AWESOME idea to land the BT with my left ankle rolled inward, resulting in a severe sprain and smallish fracture. Here's the dilemma: I am so afraid to do it ever again. I am nearly 19 years...

In the past, we've taken many long vacations without ramification. Throughout my DD compulsory career and up to last summer when she trained level 9, we've taken at least 3 weeks off for overseas vacation. The coaches were never very happy about this but she has aleays managed to regain her...

Can anyone tell me what the qualification is for Easterns? Thanks so much!

Is it at Easterns/Westerns?

can someone tell me what the start value would be of this routine jump to high bar kip cast pak to low bar to piorette kip cast squat on jump to high bar giant giant double back dismount Thanks

I thought the new vaulting rule in L8/9/10 is that the second vault score is used, regardless if the score is better or not, making it a strategic decision whether a gymnast should even compete a second vault. My dd argues this is just for L8, and that L9/10 still takes the better of two. Is she...

Anyone know the logic behind USGA decision to have set numbers of qualifiers for each age groups regardless of size of the age groups? For those unfamiliar, top 7 girls at each age groups qualify - 16 age groups. Some age groups in some regions are HUGE - 22 level 9s Jr. 1 in Region 1 last...

Just curious.......

My 13 yr. old DD decided she wanted to try for a D1 scholarship after competing her first year in L7 this past spring. Her education is more important than gymnastics so while she wants to excel at both, she will be fine if she doesn't hit her gymnastics goal. She knows all of her L8 skills and...

DD has B+B+C (BHS+BHS+BLO) for flight on beam. She thinks the b+b+c is .3 bonus, however if I am looking at the code of points correctly for triple flight I think only .10 which seem so low. Is it worth it? Need help please.

How many girls qualify to Level 9 eastern championship? The USAG website indicates the top 6 gymnasts. However, my daughter is watching a friend compete and they are announcing top 7 as national qualifiers and 8 and 9 as alternates. Did they change rules?

Does anyone know how a gymnast qualifies to USAG Level 9 easterns from their regional meet? Can they go for events specialist or only AA?

My daughter made it to Regionals. Does it work the same as Level 8? Is their state together? Do they cheer for each other? Or is it like a regular meet? The girls from her gym are spread across 4 age groups so I assume they won't be together? Hoping others support and cheer!

Is this hard and fast, for all regions, that a 34 AA at states for L9 will make it to regionals? TIA.

In a USAG level 9 bar routine, if a gymnast performs a squat on, jump to high bar, kip, cast handstand, pirouette, KIP, CAST (under horizontal), bail (or overshoot) what are the total deductions? .03 for the below horizontal cast, but what about additional execution and compositional...

Well I will try to keep this short. It's been a rough road . Let me back up 18 months . My Daughter was a L8 at the time (age 10) and got a stress fracture in her ankle right after competition season . She trained for L9 that summer and made the L9 team . 2 meets in last year ( now age 11) she...

I have seen many girls at my gym who started gymnastics from scratch get to about L7 in like maybe 3 years or so, which I think is pretty amazing! Of course, they need to have a special spirit and love for the sport, they must be willing to work VERY hard and they must have gymnastics in their...

I'm planning long term for level 9/10 when I'm 100% post knee surgery. In my province this year there are only 2 open 9's and they're not quite at "United States standards" as we say at gym, so I was wondering what a common, pretty good scoring level 9 or 10 routine would entail. Also, for the...

I competed my first level 9 meet today!! I got 2nd on floor and 3rd on beam ( and 4th on vault bars and all around) but I only do floor and beam so.. There were only 4 girls in my age group but I didn't fall and I happy with how I did, next meet next weekend!

I need help with bonus in level 9 on floor. Do you get bonus for a roundoff, whipback to back 1 1/2 twist? Also front layout, front layout? How about switch leap, split leap? Thanks for any input.
