I'm a prep op gymnast, and i'm having issues with my beam routine two weeks before the next meet! :eek: But I have a TON of extra space before my dismount on beam. I have no idea what to put in.. my dismount is a round off (got down graded due to pain while landing).
But my other skills are...
My daughter is 9 years old and a level 5 gymnast. She scores all 9's except bars which is very weak. She has one:confused: bent arm in her kip and cannot seem to connect anything, it starts out bad because she has to correct the bent arm before front hip circle, etc, etc. She also cannot make...
At the meet this weekend, I saw a lot of variation during a part of the routine. I hoped to come here to find a definitive answer.
After the gymnasts levers into and out of the handstand, she runs and locks into position to execute a half turn. This is where my question comes from. Some of...
Who else has heard the rumors about getting new routines/level 6 being optionals? Our coaches are in a tizzy because they believe these changes are happening this summer (to teach... and to compete for the 2012-2013 season). Is this coming season (starting fall/winter of 2012) considered 2013...
My daughter is a level 7 gymnast in a really tough region. Her and her teammates are currently scoring in the high 8's low 9's. However a 9.0 will not place in our competitions. 9.4 and up are the typically placing scores. We only practice our floor routines twice per week. Each girl...
So my daughter has heard that they are changing the compulsary routines next year. She will likely be level 7 then so it won't effect her, but she was wondering if there were going to be changes for the optional levels as well. I didn't know, but I figured someone here would know for sure...
I have been seeing a lot of info. about the changes for WAG but nothing for T&T. I know the routines are changing, so does anyone have the low down or well proposed low down? If not anything you expect might happen? I am too curious and can't wait!
Hey guys! haven't been on in a while! My first level 5 meet is tomorrow and I was just wondering if you have any advice on being able to breathe through my floor routine, because yesterday was the first time I EVER got through my level 5 floor routine with dance and skills...I don't know how but...
What are some suggestions or common deductions that we can work on to get my daughter from a mid 8 score to 9's? Her coach has been very supportive about her progression but not specific about how she can improve. Any help is appreciated.
I haven't done this in forever, so I hope I can figure out how to embed it.

When I moved the video from my camcorder to computer, it split it into 5 different parts and each skipped a tiny bit, especially between the last two so...
At our meet last night I saw a couple things that were interesting! I thought everyone had to do the same thing, but there were a couple of girls that did back extension rolls to handstand on beam. Honestly it looked like it would hurt!
Also a girl on bars did her squat on and then lost her...
My dd is competing level 6 first time tomorrow with 3 weeks to learn routines :) she looks good excpet when she does her cast on the high bar she is piking a little (like bent at the booty) and she said her coach tells her to pike there but we've watched lots of videos and never see any pikes...
So dd will likely be competing level 7 next year (she had better, so that she never has to do another handstand dismount on beam again! LOL) She is having fun playing around and making up her own routines. She is currently wanting to just do it herself. Has anyone else done that? How hard is...
Hello all, would love for some good wishes especially for older DD this weekend. She is doing a new-ish beam routine (has taken out the BWO and is adding cartwheel-cartwheel or cartwheel with handstand...can't remember). She has not stayed on beam yet this season so would LOVE some stay on the...
Talk has started at the gym already about sending the head coach, a second coach, and gym owner (who also coaches) to Congress next year (2013?) in order to learn the new compulsory routines. It has been insinuated that the booster club should pay for this. Our boosters are struggling as it is...
I have girls that can do this skill with perfectly straight legs, but when their feet touch the ground they "bounce" a little. I'm wondering how that "bounce" would be deducted? Would it be better to have them drop to a bent leg bridge with no bounce?
Of course, I have already focused on...
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you would be able to take a look at my floor routine video and let me know what you think about the choreography and my execution of the routine. I always feel that my teammates' routines are more interesting and pretty than mine, and I'm not sure whether this...
What are some good things to do to improve bar endurance? By the time dd has done her shootever and hiccup to high bar she is already tired and her blind change front giant looks really sloppy, and then her dismount is not as high as it usually is. Her coach has them doing a lot of cardio, but...
