    Level 9 (and sort of 10) floor

    My older dd's coaches have told the girls what they expect their tumbling passes to be this year for Level 9 floor and it seems to me that there is quite a difference in what can be done vs. what must be done. My dd's passes are supposed to be double back, back 3/2 twist to front layout, and...

    Level 9 Bars

    I'm having trouble coming up with my level 9 bar routine. I know I'm going to have a bail in my routine, but I'm not sure what to do into it.? Pirouette, freehip, cast hs.? I've also thought about a giant half, but my coach has no idea how to teach them. Are they really difficult to learn & does...

    Is training for Hopes helpful to Level 9

    Or is it its own discipline? My daughter is attending a camp that has many national staff coaches and provides training for aspiring elites, Hopes and Tops gymnasts but provides training for other levels as well. Upon registering, they ask what the gymnast would like to train for. So, I put...

    Eastern National Level 9 Alternates

    Hello, My daughter just tied for 7th place at Regionals. I know she is an alternate, but what perks does an alternate get? Specifically, does that mean their resume can say they actually "made" national team even if it is in the "alternate" spot? Also, would alternates be given the opportunity...

    Reassurance on training level 9 bars

    My daughter's coach has already told me my daughter will definitely go to Level 9 next season. She still has not started training L9 because she is still preparing for regionals in three weeks. I've wanted my daughter to switch gyms years ago but because of the limited gym choices and other...

    L8/L9 - How is regional qualification determined?

    Can anyone explain how L8/L9 regional (and L9 National) teams are determined? Does it vary based on region? It doesn't seem to be based solely on how the gymnast places at state. We had optionals qualify the last few years, but I've never understood the selection method.
