Hi everyone. This is our first year going to state, since it's DD first year competing. Our state seems to have a very low AA score in order to qualify. A whopping 30.0. I feel like this is ridiculously low, but admittedly we are new to the sport. We also live in a sparsley populated state, so...
DD, a level 4 who is 11, had a meet this morning. Start time was 8 AM. (yay :() They started on vault, where she got an 8.3. They were judged very tough on vault. Then bars, DD ripped the night before so it was not her best routine. She scored another 8.3. Then to beam. She finally broke out of...
I was hoping my DD would qualify for L9 states in her first year. She is not typically a high scorer. Well an injury in Dec. cut her meets down to 2 to qualify. Her 1st L9 meet wasn't awful but AA was 29.05 (beam, UGH!). Now she only has one more shot to reach 32 to qualify for state meet. I...
Ok DD has had one rash of injuries after another. Today is the High School state meet and her team is going for the 4th straight year in a row (crossing fingers). 1/2 the team is injured with braces, supports, taped ankles etc. So we are hoping they can pull it off. My own DD is doing vault...
In level 10.
For state, isn't it an all around score? 34.0? I don't remember.
To qualify to regionals, is it an all around score? or placement at state?
I know nationals is placement at regionals. But what places make it? top 10? Seems like too many, but I don't know.
Is it possible to...
:eek: Im going to my level 6 state championships this weekend! Im soooo excited but sometimes i tend to get nervous. any tips that can help nervousness???:confused:
Can anyone enlighten me about the new state skills scorin gfor TOPs? My dd tested twice this year and will test for her third and final time this weekend as a 10 yr old. She tested a 22 out of 24 on bars, and has done relatively well as far as skills are concerned, however, I am a little...
My daughter has tested twice so far. Trying to decide if we should go for a third test, but hard to know with the new testing what she should even be aiming for as a "good score". She did pretty well on skills and phys abilities, but missed her toe circle and only held her handstand 16...
Hello, I am new to this site and was wondering about the scoring for the state TOPs testing? I know it changed since last year since they added the skills at the state level, but I have no idea how the scoring will go?
Hey everyone! I know it's been about a month since our state meet for L 5 but I haven't been online much since it went right into finals season for me. (I always turn off my facebook and other things so I can study and focus!)
Anyway my niece did awesome at state! I'm so proud of her for her...
It's that time of season. How is it going for everyone?
State was a couple weeks ago, & I'm pleased with how my athletes did. We had some brainfarts on trampoline from a couple of the little ones (and from a level 9. I don't know...), but I'm really pleased with them. We had a lot of state...
just wondering, what is the equivalent of state 6 to nationals, as in skills.Im in state 6, say if i were to transfer programs what level of nationals would i be in? i do gymnastics in victoria
USTA state meet was held this past weekend and it went pretty darn well! After not being in the gym since Nationals 2010 and going back in November 2011 for only an hour a week, DD brought home some great trophies. DD is state champion on trampoline and high score for all advanced level girls...
As elections for USAG State Chairs are held. Talk round the gym(coaches) focused on the affiliation or ownership of gyms by the State Chair. They appear to favor NO ownership and refer to an increase in bias of judging to favor the gymnast and gym(s) owned by the State Chair. The opinion that...
So, I posted before that my coach wants me to do level 8 or 9 state stream and I tried to have a look at the skills I need but as it is fully optional and you choose all the skills it was a little tricky I was just wondering what a typical level 8 and 9 state stream (NSW) routine would consist...
I have been debating putting this one out there since it is not my child, but had to do it. My DD team mate finally decided to giver her tsuk a whirl the day before state meet. She had trained them on and off before this but nothing consistent. It was going well so coach let her do it and she...
Well, I'm done competing now! It was my best meet of the season, but it still wasn't great. Ugh. It doesn't really look like my routines are going to get any cleaner, either...
UB - 8.675 - 2nd place; I finally made my giant with straight arms in competition! Yay! I've been doing it in practice...
