moving up

Hello - I'm a new poster but have been lurking for quite a while :) This past Monday during my DD's L3 class, the coaches let us know who will be moving up to L4 and who is staying another season for L3. My DD was one of the ones moving up to L4....but after a conversation with the coaches...

DD had a big skills test yesterday. She needed to have ALL Level 4 skills in order to move up to the Big girls group. She was absolutely BEAMING at passing. her and two team mates made it.... She was most proud of going over the vault table unassisted.....(wasn't pretty, but i didn't tell her...

My daughter started in a preschool class in september and tonight moved up for the second time. She is now in a level 2 rec (they call them tornados at her gym) class and already marked of some skills on that progression sheet tonight. We are so proud of her!

As I've said in my few posts, my daughter is in her first year of competing Level 1 and is 9 years old. I realize that the skills in this level are "easy," but she has been scoring in the 38 range and has won a lot. I don't say that to be bragging - I would actually rather her be more...

New coach implementing a policy that to move up, the girls need to get a 36 in their current level. My daughter may never move up based on this...other gyms similar? thanks

Wondering how other gyms manage this situation: if the gymnast suffers a knee injury mid season in higher levels (7+) and she was on track to move up a level (competed well in the current level)...but is not able to complete state championships due to injury...can she move up to next level...

My dd has been going to development classes for the past 2 weeks (once a week for 2 1/2 hours), she has been enjoying it so far and when she came out of the gym to get a drink after 45 minuets of warm up/ conditioning I asked her how it was going and she said "Its the best thing ever", I am...

My daughter is going to be 11 next week and I'm just wondering if her progression is typical in gymnastics . At our gym , they don't compete until old level 5 . So, she did one year 5, one year 6, scored out of 7 by attending one meet and then did level 8 last year, and now is doing 9. Her...

My daughter is a level 8 training level 9 gymnast. Her coaches have come out with a new rule that if you are participating in any other sports you cannot move past level 8. No matter what sport it is, softball, soccer, cheerleading, swimming, etc. Even if the practices don't interfere with...

My daughter is currently a 11 yo, L9. We switched gyms in the early part of last season. The policy of the new gym for new gymnast is to forfeit the season. She only had one L9 meet under her belt at the old gym. This summer, the new coach told us we have two options, she can compete L9 this...

DD will be competing new L4 in the fall and the hours increase to 15 hrs/wk during summer and fall. So she will be at the gym M-F. We just learned there is also a chance that she can move up to L5 which will have her in the gym on Sat as well. She has also been invited to an advanced piano class...

Hi, Ive never competed before so I was wondering, about the moving up a level system. Do you go to the next level once you achieve a certain score in one meet say a 36, or do you have to get that in more than one meet. Thank You

my daughter is moving up to team! We're so excited and a bit overwhelmed. We are having a meeting with the coach tomorrow to go over stuff and answer questions but I'm not even sure what to ask! What should I make sure to find out about at this meeting? I don't really know much of anything...

Level 2 dd's coach advised that she is definitely moving up to the new level 2 but they are going to see if they can have her skip a level to the new level 3, but they won't make those decisions until June or July. What are the big skills in the new level 3 (old 4)? I'm assuming it's the...

Hey all! I was just curious if anyone knew the USAG rules on gymnasts competing at one level for one meet, then competing at the next level for another meet, then moving back down? Ex.: competing as a level 5, the next meet as a 6, then going back to level 5. I thought that once you moved to the...

My daughter is a level 5 at a gym that requires her top 3 scores to average to 35. This gym always has gymnast in the top 3 places on every event and always gets 1st place for the team award. Her highest score so far is a 33.8. While she is obviously not a natural, she has been working really...

My daughter came home last night and said one of her coaches was adding "new criteria" to move beyond level 8. The new criteria is that in addition to the skills, the girls now essentially need all TOPs skills to advance. This includes 10 press handstands, 20 leg lifts, 10 cast handstands...

DD was supposed to have a private Saturday but woke up sick. Her coach called me during that time and we started chatting. She said that she knew she probably shouldn't be telling me, but they've already make the decision to move DD up at the end of the season. She is currently a L4 and just...

I've not shared a brag on here before, but wanted to share this exciting news about my Little Miss. She's a 7 year old level 5 (USAG), competed level 4 last year's season. She's been coming along well this year in L5 and at her meet last weekend received a 9.9 on floor! It was really fun to see...

Question for you all.... My daughter is currently level 4.... she competed at level 4 last year. She is learning level 5, 6, and 7 skills and can do most of them. We did not compete in any meets this spring, our meets were in the falls. Does she need to compete in a meet and get a score of...
