I'll start with an observation. My daughter was doing well last year on beam. Then, in her second to last meet, she fell off of the beam. Beam has been her roughest routine since then. On the other hand, she used to struggle a lot with bars. At state, she had the bar routine of her life (a...
Hi everyone!
Over the past 3 weeks or so, my gym has started choreographing our routines. About 3 weeks ago, we started choreographing our beam routines, then the next week, we choreographed our bar routines, and this week, we started choreographing our floor routines. (My floor music is...
Ugh, I need another new floor routine.
There are 4 different music options I like, but I'm still open to listen to more.
Has anyone used energym (I think I spelled that wrong)? How much money is it? And, is it easy to use, legal, and all that other stuff? Also, does it have some good choices? I...
I didn't go to Nationals this year, but I know they usually announce where next years will be at the grand march in. They are also supposed to put out the new routines. If anyone gets this info. please let me know, I am so curious!
My dd is a strange one when it comes to bars. She has not been able to connect the giant to the flyaway. So on her own, she has come up with a routine and wants to know if it is allowed.
start on low bar facing high bar
kip, cast handstand, clearhip to HS, kip, squaton, jump, kip, cast...
I just started back up in gymnastics after quitting for 7 years. My gym instructors are trying to teach me the level 6 floor routine, but I am a slow learner with the dancy stuff. Does anyone know where I can find a video of somebody teaching it slowly? I am talking about this routine...
Hello,
My daughter is starting her second year at a new gym. She is a second year level 9. She has had 3 tumbling passes since level 7(routines given by her old coach). She is getting a new floor routine this year and her new coach wants to give all of the girls only 2 tumbling passes. He says...
On floor, is the dismount classified as the last element performed or the last salto performed?
Just choreographing a new floor routine and this has totally escaped my memory!
It is because at certain levels here it is the last acro element, regardless of whether there is a jump or leap after...
Hey i was just wondering if you had any simple gymnastic routines that i could show my sister as she as shown an intrest in the sport and asked me if i could teach her i would be really happy if you could please.
My daughter's entire Level 3 team is looking to move up according to her coach. At first I assumed that meant working current Level 4 routines and then they'd stay Level 3 when it basically became Level 4 in 2013. Then, the next season, they'd be working at what we currently call Level 5 skills...
So i was reading about floor routines on the site and it doesn't seem rare for gymnasts to pay upwards of $300 for a floor routine, is this the norm at your gym because here (well in my gym) I have never payed for a routine, music or choreography, and they have all been original (bar my current...
I was looking at the link for the changes for the 2013 + routines, I see that there are also age changes. Its saying age 6 for L3. Is this correct? I have a girl who is turning 5 mext month and easily working L4 skills, even though I know she can only compete up to L3 at age 5. So does this mean...
Our head coach is currently telling all the girls not to expect any move-ups because of the 2013 changes. I know this statement is a little exaggerated because we 4s and 5s scoring mid 37s and it would just wrong to hold them back. I think she's really directing the comments more at current 6s...
Dear Chalk Bucket users,
I LOVE GYMNASTICS! and I'm one of those very naturally flexible gymnasts and even the most flexible in my whole gym. However, I see this as a disadvantage sometimes because the trade-off is that I'm not naturally as strong as a lot of other girls in my level:/ This makes...
I have heard a lot about the girls changing, but didn't hear anything about the boys changing, so I thought that they weren't. But now I hear they may be as well.
So, are the boys changing too? Where do you get info about this? I know the stock answer will be "Trust your coach" which I do, but...
HI!
As you may know, I do acro, but I would love to do artistic someday, but given my actual discipline, I would only be able to do floor, IMO (maybe parallels and vault, if I practice a lot).
As you also should know, acro is much more artistic than MAG, so I don't have that powerful tumbling...
