    Anon Girls repeating lower levels with 39+ scores

    So I am always seeing posts on social media by certain big name FL gyms bragging about all their crazy high scores, so I poked around a little bit and I was shocked to find that they have girls repeating lower Xcel levels 2 and 3 times. One girl scored a 39+ at both state (including 2 perfect...

    Women Gym kicking gymnasts out for repeating levels

    Hello, I wanted to say that my gym kicks gymnast out if they repeat levels too many times. For ex. If someone repeats Xcel silver twice or Xcel gold three times and till can’t move up, they get sent to rec. I was wondering if most gyms do this?

    Anon Repeating grades for gymnastics?

    Is it a common thing that parents of kids trying to follow the path to elite gymnastics have their child repeat a grade prior to starting high school to buy "more time" before needing to think about college, or is this just a thing at our gym? A few of the girls on this path at our gym have...

    Anon repeating levels

    How do you keep up your confidence when you are the only one repeating a level? I am a level 6 for the second time and was confused on how that judgement was made. I have all the skills and was held back. All of my former teammates moved up and it has me feeling seperated from them in a friend...

    Parents experience with repeating level?

    My daughter competed level 3 last year and is training level 4. Her gym informed us that in Sept. the girls will be tested on level 4 skills. If they do not have them, they will repeat level 3. Right now she just needs to get her kip. Is this common? My concern is my daughter competed level 3...

    Men Repeating l4

    DS (almost 10) had a great season of division 1 l4. He was brand new to the sport but immediately fell in love with it and picked up skills quickly. Scored well and placed high all the way through. His gym has lost a coach, and they seem to be a bit overwhelmed at the moment. DS has been doing...

    Parents Question about repeating

    Hello again! Have any of your gymnasts been on the cusp between two levels and had to repeat in compulsories? What happens to all their next level skills they learned but won’t be using?

    Women Repeating a level but getting worse?

    Has anyone's child repeated a level and actually gotten worse? I'm talking upper Levels 9 & 10. Some of my daughters skills are harder and some events have improved and others have gotten worse with the same skills. Why is this? Growth? Does gymnastics ebb and flow? Do you encourage...

    Parents Repeating or moving up too soon

    In your experience (in your child or seen st the gym), what’s it like -to be the girl moved up too soon, struggling, feeling out of her depth,etc. -to be the girl who gets left behind when everyone else gets moved up while she repeats a level, feeling perhaps more capable than the “new”...

    Parents Repeating Level 9 and Dreams of Elite

    I'd appreciate any positive stories or thoughts about repeating 9.. Does repeating 9 (for a gymnast who was strong in prior levels and had a rough L9 due to injury and coaching issues. Just turned 13yo.) indicate a gymnast won't or probably won't still have the potential to eventually train...

    Women Repeating a level or moving on

    My daughter is currently a level 9 and is having a kind of meh year. Most of her teammates from last year are repeating level 8 and doing well. My DD has never repeated and has never gone to regionals. My question is, does any of this matter? She felt ready to move to 9. Won't they all end up in...

    Parents Repeating a level for a third time

    Hi. My dd age 14 did Level 8 for two seasons. Strong gymnast, made it to regionals and placed. This summer she was moved to Level 9. A few weeks ago she developed a few blocks and lost some L9 skills. First meet is in 6 weeks. Coach wants to put her back to Level 8 and move her to a...

    Parents Repeating lvl3 and not scoring well?

    DD (8) will be repeating level 3 and has her first meet in a few weeks. From the score ranges given at her in-house meet it looks like she might not score well at all this year -despite the fact that she's repeating. The ranges given to her were 7.5-8 for 2 events and 8-8.5 for 2 events...

    Women Repeating levels

    I know this question has been asked but humor me. How often do gyms require gymnast to repeat a level. Some of our gyms in our state seem to make kids repeat level 3 or 4 no matter how high the kids score. I really just don't understand the point except the podium. My friends DD lowest score...

    Parents Repeating L7/Struggling with Skills

    HI all-- Want some success stories about kids who struggled with L7 (or other optionals) and repeated and found their way...my DD seems so far off-- an injury sidelined her for months and now she is doing bare minimum on skills and her scores show that. Her coaches say they are not going to...

    Parents Repeating a level after getting a score of 38?????

    Is this common? Now I've seen girls repeat after getting 35's and 36's (still good respectable scores) but I can see the benefit in that. However at a meet we had today, there were girls in our session from another team, and probably about half of their team are repeats from last year, that...

    Women Question about repeating a level

    At your gym, if a gymnast repeats a compulsory level, what is the plan for her? What are the goals? Does she train with the incoming gymnasts at that level and just repeatedly run those skills? Or does she spend time uptraining anyway? Is the goal to get her on the podium? Or something else...

    Parents Pros and Cons of Repeating a Level

    Hello.. My daughter started a gym half way through a season as a Level 3 for the first time. She had a great year and after a good Summer in the gym, moved up to Level 4. She has had a good but not great Level 4 year so far. We have one more meet then States. She is progressing in the gym on...

    Women Repeating 6?

    Is there really any reason for a gymnast to repeat 6? We were at a meet recently and noticed that several of the podium finishers were repeating 6...this makes no sense to me, unless perhaps it is bars and they have no giants...are there other reasons a coach will have a girl repeat 6? (this was...
