    Women bar routine - strength or technique?

    How much of the bar work (kip, clear hip, cast handstand, giant) is strength and how much is technique? My son is really strong and a great tumbler, but was not allowed to work on p bars, rings and high bar due to an growth plate issue, but now he is allowed to! He is strong, he can do a press...

    Women Coach won't let Dd do routines

    Hey all! So Dd is thriving at her new gym after a switch 2 months ago. She loves the gym, coach and the girls so it has been an easy transition. She competed Level 4 last fall at her previous gym, got the required "move-up score" at states and the coach said she could train with the level 5s...

    Coaches What do you wish could be put into your gymnasts optional routine?

    Is it more dance or certain dance moves or jumps? I do not mean to take up too much of your time, but if you don't mind will you be descriptive. Thank You

    Women What do judges look for in a Level 7/8 USAG floor and beam routine?

    Hello, I understand they (judges) are looking for precision and tightness. Maybe they are looking for what they see in the Olympics, but I want to understand why when you look at a gymnast doing a routine that looks very good yet, gets a low score. Are they looking for complicated movements...

    Men Floor routines: Difficulty or style?

    Many people would argue that the 17 year old Japanese gymnast's 7.4 D-score performance to win the 2013 Antwerp Worlds was one of the most dazzling and exciting examples of a Floor routine in gymnastics history. But is it? Sure, the ability to twist 24 times in total in a routine, including...

    Women Can someone judge my dd's last floor routine?

    Hi! My dd is a level 3 and is scoring lower on her floor routines so far this year compared to last year. Yes, I know they are much different routines, etc. but I would love some feedback other than from her coaches. Let me know and I will PM it to you. Thanks!

    Coaches Level 9 Bar routine

    Okay coaches need your help. I have a level 9 that is afraid to do a Pirouette into her overshoot from high bar. She will go for the overshoot as long as it's not coming out of the Pirouette. Can you guys give me some suggestions for a bar routine? Thanks

    Coaches Is there anyone that would be willing to critique a few Level 3 routines for me?

    I have gotten back into coaching after a lengthy hiatus. I am only coaching a low level (3) team, but we went to our first meet and there were a few scores that were quite a bit lowest than I expected. I know we have tons of little things to clean up but I was wondering if I am missing...

    Women Start value of a old level 6 routine done in Level 7

    Just wondering what the start value would be for a kid who did a very nice level 6 (old) bar routine. Casts to handstand or close and free hip to at least horizontal. I can't seem to figure out if the baby giant is an actual skill with a value :)

    Women Bar Routine Question

    My daughter is competing level 7 this season. She has a very standard bar routine - kip, clear hip, squat on, giant-giant, fly away. When she comes out of her clear hip, she is at horizontal at best (she is not able to come close to a handstand). Just wondering what the deductions would be in...

    Women Scoring of two routines

    Okay guys, I haven't been on for a while but I have a question for you! I have state in a week and am tossing up competing layout or full twist in floor routine. Up until yesterday I had only competed full twist but yesterday my fulls weren't going very well so I pulled back to a layout. I...

    Coaches Time limit for 6/7 floor routines

    For those of you who have kids compete the same optional floor routine for 2 years (to save their parents from having to pay choreography/music fees every year), what do you plan to do from L6-7 since the time limits are different? I'm tossing around a few ideas that would all work, but I'm...

    Women Holiday routines!

    I found out I am in charge of making all of the rec. kids holiday show routines! I am super excited but am also stuck. We can have the floor, and portable things like floor beams, aero boards, mats, props (hula hoops, hankerchiefs, cones etc.) but not much else as the gym has to be taken down...

    GO level 5 bar routine question

    Can someone please tell me what the requirements for a new level 5 bar routine. I am hearing conflicting info. Is a baby giant a requirement? What about kip to high bar, tap swing, counter swing, tap swing flyaway? Our club is making our level 5 girls do baby giants, another coach from another...

    Parents Videos of new routines?

    Does anyone know if the new routines are anywhere online yet? My daughter, being an adhd child, has a hard time memorizing the details of routines, and I think it might help her to watch them. I have looked but can't find anything. Her first competition is in a couple weeks and she's shaky on...

    Women Question about lefty/righty Level 3 floor routine

    Hi all, I have noticed in my gym that some level 3's are doing their entire floor routine right, but doing their split left? Is there a deduction for this? Or is it better to take a deduction for the wrong side split if the split goes all the way down (some girls only have left split all the...
