    http://s3.amazonaws.com/convertkit/landing_pages/incentives/000/241/354/original/GymnasticsHQ's_Progress_Tracking_Charts.pdf?1500736285 I think that is a great thing to have, especially for the lower levels. Just wanted to share in case anyone is interested!

    Parents Skills vs. fun - team option advice

    DD is 7 and L4. She was singled out to move up this past year to uptraining with L6/7 girls. Our gym is very small so no L5. The group thinned out over the year to only 3 girls and now is being merged in with a larger group training L7-10. DD is fine with skills and improving rapidly (far beyond...

    WAG After the competition season ends...how long before your gym starts training new skills?

    It seems our gym takes FOREVER to start training (regularly) on new skills. DD has done level 9 for the last two years, made it to Regionals both times but not Easterns.... She is not a fan of level 9 (lol) and is ready to push past this and feels the gym isn't aggressive enough..... Just...

    WAG The next big skills (beyond compulsaries)

    I can clearly see the skills needed for compulsary levels, but after the level 4 skills, what are the next "big skills" to look forward to? I realize that each kid will find certain skills harder/easier, but are there some typical level 6 skills that most kids will work towards? Thanks!

    WAG Are skills difficulty rating comparable across events

    Is an "E" skill on beam comparable to an "E" skill on floor in terms of difficulty and potential percentage of gymnasts who can compete that skill? Is an "E" dismount on bars equivalent to an "E" release move in terms of difficulty? seems like many more gymnasts can do a double layout dismount...

    WAG Level 9 Skills - beam and floor

    I am trying to figure out for floor and beam - what would be typical for a first year L9 to compete at a minimum? (ie a competent but not a strong L9 on the spectrum of skill difficulty.) And what would be expected skills for a L9 who has been at the level for two or three years, getting ready...

    WAG Level 3 skills needed to start training

    Hello all! I'm new here, but have been reading many posts and learning lots about the sport! My daughter has taken to gymnastics and keeps asking to do more, more and more gymnastics! She is in a level 2 equivalent training right now but wants more. The next step at her gym is level 3...

    WAG New skills versus perfecting skills

    At what point in your level 10 gymnast career did she stop acquiring new and more difficult skills and start perfecting existing skills? (Assuming start value of 10 on all events) Seems it is very difficult to hit those really high scores if every year you are competing new skills.

    Parents Men's Level 8 skills book

    DS coach said DS needs to through the "level 8 book" and select some skills he wants to add. DS and I have been looking online for the book all morning and cannot find it. Does anyone know what this book is and where we can find it?

    WAG Skills test question for level 4

    Other than the actual skills required for level 4 competition, what else does your gym include in their decision as to whether a kid will move from lvl 3 to lvl 4? Like what sort of strength/conditioning or score minimum, etc. Do they require the child to do a certain number of leg lifts...

    WAG Opinion on doing pommel horse like skills on beam?

    My coach decided we should all try to find a 'cool' skill to do on beam to distinguish us from the other competition. I was thinking I could do things like pommel scissors etc. because I was okay at them. Do you think they look okay? And don't say 'ask my coach,' I want YOUR opinion :D From...

    WAG I have a meet coming up with hurt chest & iffy skills

    So I have a meet coming up in about a week. Recently I developed costochondritis, which is basically inflamed chest. I've been out of gymnastics for 2 weeks, and my skills on beam (and like 1 on bars) are iffy. What do you suggest I do at home to help? I have 3 practices left before the meet, so...

    WAG Could either of these skills make it into the code of points?

    I'm xcel platinum (I don't know if it makes a difference) (the ending is supposed to go all the way around, like a sole circle, coming to a stand on the low bar) Thanks!

    WAG Flight skills on beam other than round-off or back handspring?

    So one of my requirements this year is a flight skill for beam. My round-offs are okay, but since I can't use it as part of my dismount, I tend to fall backward slightly. And for back handsprings, I would prefer not to do them. I can technically do them, but they are scary and so I've been...
