    Women Level 9 age groups for regionals/nationals

    why do the eastern regions have 16 age groups when the western region L9 and all level 10 is based on 8 age groups? I realize the same total number of gymnasts advance to nationals (east/west) but was curious why east doesn't just adopt the 8 age group system to coincide with L10.

    Women Region 8 Level 9&10 Championships live scoring?

    Does anyone know where to find the live scoring for Region 8? We have a friend competing this morning and the website says they will have live scoring but I can't find a link or anything. Thanks!

    Parents Level 9 States Report

    DD's 1st event was bars, which has been coming along all season but inconsistent in her dismounts (double pike), usually over rotating. She did a really nice routine, right up to the end, where this time, she under-rotated and fell - 8.575. Beam was 9.4 with a couple of wobbles, 7th place...

    Parents Harder to Qualify to L9 state than I thought

    I was hoping my DD would qualify for L9 states in her first year. She is not typically a high scorer. Well an injury in Dec. cut her meets down to 2 to qualify. Her 1st L9 meet wasn't awful but AA was 29.05 (beam, UGH!). Now she only has one more shot to reach 32 to qualify for state meet. I...

    Women L9 bars

    Is a clear hip handstand needed? I have looked over requirements and I can't seem to figure it out. My DD has one in her routine but doesn't usually hit handstand so I am wondering if she would score better without it. She does- kip cast handstand pirouette, kip cast squat on jump to high...

    Women First Level 9 Meet

    Ugh, wrote a whole meet report and IE went crazy..... Little Monkey had a great day! She loved being part of a TEAM. And Team took 2nd :D Started on bars with shaky warmups. Not sure of SV but not 10.0 because she does a kip/cast after pirouette before baile. Didn't quite hit handstand...

    Women Front and Back Walkovers In Level 9/10

    I always hear different opinions on this matter. Do the high level optionals at your club do back walkovers as a part of their regular training? For example...do your L9/10's have a basic slow tumbling warm-up/complex that leads them through front & back walkovers?...or do you keep away from...

    Women L9 Same skill deduction

    My daughter competed her 1st L9 meet last week. The coach took out her double pike and replaced it temporarily with a full and a half. She was over rotating the double back tuck and under rotating the double pike. Next meet is in a month. So hopefully, she has time to tweak it. Anyway, her...

    Parents 1st L9 Meet tomorrow

    My youngest has her first level 9 meet tomorrow. So it is at home gym and unsanctioned but still competition format. Not sure that she is completely prepared but I can't wait to see her "strut her stuff". I am so proud of her for getting to L9. She was hoping to go last year but coach opted...

    Women A little update- 1st L9 Meet in 3 Weeks and....

    Little Monkey finally got her last piece together! She connected her pirouette to baile for the first time yesterday andI was lucky enough to be there to see it! It was her first time trying the connection, even the night before, she told me she might start with pirouette-kip-cast-baile, but...

    Women Bonus for L9

    I completely don't understand the what gets bonus and how much bonus something gets. My DD just says its bonus but doesn't know how much. On beam what is the bonus in connecting the bhs to the layout step out? Also what is the bonus for connecting Switch leap to straddle quarter? On Floor what...

    Women Level 9 Spotting Deductions

    My DD is a first year Level 9. She just recently had her first meet. She was spotted on her double backs on floor and on her shootovers on bars. On floor, she was not spotted on her landing. I think I saw the coach push her up a bit. Some mothers told me it looked like she was high enough...

    Women Level 9 Training and Season

    My daughter did her first full bar routine yesterday. We have a small in house meet next Saturday. All events don't seem there yet. But she seems ok. Having missed a full month of summer's gym practice, I think gives her the reason to be more forgiving if herself. She is a 1st year level 9...

    Women Which is a better skill to have in L9 beam routine?

    Bhs (B) + back layout to two feet (E)? series .2 bonus bhs (B) + bhs (B) full (B) dismount Coach says even if gymnast can compete both skills well, the bhs bhs full dismount is better to have in the routine because it is more progressive and a higher level skill since very few do a series...

    Parents New level 9's - ready for the season?!

    Just wondering how the girls training for level 9 this year are coming along. We now have about 4 months till our first meet and are getting closer to getting things together. Bars are proving to be the most challenging - I think we have the routine in pieces but cannot put it together yet...
