    Women Scores not improving when repeating

    I am just wondering if anyone else sees this. I have noticed that, in general, I don't see a huge improvement in scores when girls repeat a level. I have friends whose daughters are repeating "new 4" (old 5) and their scores are in the same general range as they were last year. This past...

    Women Repeating Levels

    After reading the Mobility post and watching my dd's meet this weekend, why on earth do coaches have girls who have won state championships repeat a compulsory level 2-3 times? Why would a parent agree to that? I get it if a kid really struggled and can't get the skills, but come on, even...

    Parents Moving up vs repeating

    I know there are a lot of threads on this, but my question is a little different. DD competed level 4 in the fall and is now working level 5 skills. Move-ups will be dependent on skills. She has her cartwheel on beam, squat on, just got a kip but it is certainly not pretty. My question isn't...

    Women Repeating Level 7

    We learned a few weeks ago that my daughter would be repeating level 7. She started at a new gym right after state meet. A few weeks ago when my husband was dropping DD off one of the coaches approached him and said DD is doing really well and has huge potential. Coach said that she wanted to...

    Repeating Levels - Best for Gymnast or Selfish Gym

    All, Can you please assure me that my daughter's coaches are making the "right" decision? Background: My daughter competed L6 in the Fall of 2011 and finished 1st AA at all her season meets, scoring above 37.00 at every meet. She finished first at the State meet in her age group and was in the...

    Sorry for repeating this topic: implications of the proposed 2013 JO changes

    Ok, I am sorry to start another thread on this topic, but the change starting the 2013 competition year is confusing. My DD who just finished a reasonably strong level 5 year (high 8s for vault and bars, 9+ for beam and floor) is training for level 6. Of course, she has to get several skills...

    Repeating Levels

    I have a question. At the gym my granddaughter goes to they are having her compete level 5 for the 3rd year. She competed 4 at age 6 and then level 5 at age 7 did not go to state that year. Went to state last year at age 8 and did pretty good. Some of her team mates that have stayed at her...

    Repeating L4

    I know that I have posted something similar in the parent forum, but I'm still wrestling with what to do in this situation. DD is 8 and competed L4 last year. Did fairly well, above 35 at state. She was expecting to move to L5 as half her class did, but she didn't. And she also didn't move up...

    deduction for repeating an element

    DD recently had her first L7 meet and she fell on her series bwo bwo on beam. She fell after she landed the 1st bwo. She then got up and started from the beginning of the series and did it beautifully. She scored low so I asked her coach why and she said that she received a deduction for the...

    Repeating level 3?

    Hi all-I've been lurking here for a while and could really use some advice. My dd's(6) coach told me she wants my dd to repeat level 3 next year. I don't really see the point in this, but I don't know what to do. Dd has done 1 competition this year and is still missing a few of her skills...

    Questions to ask Coach why DD is repeating level 4

    I need help with talking to our Coach/Owner why my DD is not moving up to level 5. She had a good first year in level 4 (not great, a couple 1st and 2nds) has some of her 5 skills, which she just started working on. She really wants to move up. None of the girls in her group have been told they...

    Positives to repeating level 4...bring it on!!

    Coaches, parents and gymnasts: Some of you know that my daughter just switched to a new gym after a frustrating past 6 months at her old gym. We had lost our head coach who was very good with compulsory routines, the little details, conditioning, etc. There have been many new coaches that...

    Parents Need Input about advancing vs repeating level from you more informed at this sport

    Coaches Repeating Level 4?

    I am seeing a lot of talk about first and second years at L4 and it seems like a lot of girls do L4 more than once. As my DD is just moving up to L4, I'm curious about this. Are we talking about AAU or USAG L4? How common is it to repeat L4? Why do they repeat? Are there certain skills that give...
