Hi, I'm new to gymnastics. I've been doing it for a month and my coach wants me to join team and be a level 5.
What skills should I be practicing? Particularly for floor and beam because those I can do at home :]
Thanks!
I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the floor tumbling requirements or "acro flight series" as worded on the MDL Divisions website. For Level A, it clearly states "front handspring, roundoff back handspring..." and for Level B it states "...2 elements acro flight series with one forward...
Someone mentioned to me today at a meet that I might be getting deducted for not fulfilling floor tumbling requirements at level nine, so I wanted to ask around here.
Due to a bum shoulder, my passes are currently:
Round off Full
Round off back tuck punch front
running front full
I know...

Help! My Level 7 DD has changed her beam routine so many times I am almost too nervous to go to her meets. This last change was a good one...she added her BHS to her BWO. However, she took the other BHS out (her series used to be BWO-BWO, then she did a BHS separately). The Level 7...
So i'm going to compete USAG next year after being gone for 3 years. I don't know where or how i'm going to compete USAG, but i'm going to. I was a level 8 when i switched gyms, and i have lots of questions.
Can i start back at level 8 where i left off?
Then, for requirements. I haven't...
Does anybody know the exact USAG requirements regarding minimum ages of gymnasts competing in invitational meets? I was under the impression that the gymnast just needed to have reached the appropriate birthday (ie. 7th birthday to compete level 5) by the meet date. However, another mom told...
I know they have a choice of a turn (usually a pirouette) or a bar change with release (baille, toe shoot, straddle back). Could a giant full be used for the turn?
I got to thinking after I read another post that every gym seems to have different ways of picking kids for the team and different philosophys for what skills they need to be able to do to be moved to team. My dd gym has a week long tryout camp that they use to pick the team and preteam. I...
Just curious...
What are the requirements to move through the levels at YOUR gym. I know USAG requirements. For example: some gyms use score requirements; others use skill requirements; others a combination of both.
Has anyone heard of or knows anything about a "special permission" granted to gymnast who do not meet the minimum age requirement. For instance, having a five year old compete as a L4??? Is it possible?
Has anyone heard or know anything about a "Special Permission" that is granted for a gymnast who is under the age limit...for instance having a 5 year old compete L4??
DD is working on a few skills which I have no idea what they are and what requirement they fulfill. Pac salto? and a pike squat on thingy then swing under and catch the high bar. Is there a bonus for these? Does the pac have more bonus than the bail?
Also, is it better to do a double on the...

Competition requirements for gymnasts
Do you have requirements for a child to compete a certain level?
Compulsory: If a child is missing skills, how do you handle that. I am a firm believer that if you don;t have your skills for the level you are at then you shouldn't compete until you do...
