    WAG Quitting Gymnastics to do Pole vaulting ? :(

    I am thinking about making a difficult decision. Let me give you the background. I'm a freshman in high school. I do xcel gymnastics. I love it, and I could compete level 7-8 if I were in JO. I placed 2nd all around in region 6 as platinum. But there is no way that I could do this for college...

    Parents Differences between L4 and L5 vault

    Can someone please tell me the differences between L4 and L5 vault? I'm guessing maybe they have different minimum height requirements for vault tables, but I'm not sure at all... And am I correct to assume the minimum height requirement for a L4 vault table is 100cm? My daughter is tiny 8 yr...

    Parents Half on Vault

    Currently dd is doing 1/2 on vault. Will be lvl 7. What is advantage of this vs FHS?

    WAG Anyone happen to have the 2013-2017 vault chart?

    I came up with the idea to compare vault values through the years. I found charts from 2006 and 2017. Anyone happen to have vault value charts for elite from other years?

    WAG Vault run

    How do you run faster for vault? My coach says i need to run faster and i do run faster than before, but it isn't quick enough yet. Also, would counting steps help with increasing speed in the vault run?

    WAG XCEL Silver Vault judging question (WAG)

    I was at a competition last weekend, the team that was on vault had 2 coaches present. The first coach was at the vault table, however sneakily had her hand holding the front corner of the top mat. The second coach was leaning on the mat at the back. This was all to keep the mat from moving...

    WAG Level 10 vault question

    So at nationals there was a girl who scored a 10.0 on vault: https://www.instagram.com/p/BT0APmQgPBv/ Now, i read the level 10 vault chart When DO vault actually get that 10.1? The girl above didn't fall or recieve a spot. So was there still a 0.1 deduction in there or did the judges simply...

    WAG Level 7 Vault

    DD has never been a strong FHS vaulter. Is 1/4 on 1/4 off an allowable 10.0 SV Level 7 vault? I looked at a vault chart but wasn't sure what I was reading or if it was the most updated chart. She is working 1/2 on 1/2 off which seems to be on the chart. Also- is there any rumor of the...

    Parents Vault choices for level 6

    I thought the only vault allowed was FHS till 8. My daughter told me last night she may do a half layout. Can she? I am so lost.

    WAG Improvements on Front Front vault?

    Link Removed So, I've been uptraining w/ the table trainer. Keep in mind you can't block as much as on a real table, and you can't see them, but someone is holding the other side of the table to keep it from wobbling so much. Also, only 5th time doing one. ANYWAY So, because my teammates...

    WAG *Proud Parent Alert* 9.950 Vault @ Level 10 States

    DD just finished her first level 10 States meet. She competed a Double twisting Yurechenko (start value is 10.1) and scored a 9.950 which was the highest score at Norcal states. Super proud of how far she's come from her 1st season of level 8 when her Yurechenko were so scary that the...

    WAG "Big" Step or "Little" Step? Vault Landing Debate

    Hello again everyone! Last year I posted a video of my daughter's lvl 5 vault and asked for critique/input/deductions from experienced parents and coaches. There was a lot of input which was awesome, however there was a debate whether she was taking a "big" step or a "little" step on the...

    WAG FHS Vault -- starting measurement?

    At her last meet DD (age 10, L5) scratched her first fhs vault attempt. She said her footing/pacing was messed up, etc., and I asked what she changed for her next attempt (she ended up with a good one, thankfully!). She said she didn't change anything. ... ? I mean, she obviously changed...

    WAG Hip hurts after vault mishap

    My DD hurt her hip landing on the wrong part of the springboard in a meet two weeks ago. The chiropractor at the meet said it was a jammed SI joint. He did an adjustment and said she would have muscle soreness but it would feel better in a week or so. Saw a PT and a massage therapist who...

    WAG Level 10 vault start values

    was curious about vault start values. A Yurchenko 3/2 has a 10.1 SV compared to a full. Shouldn't a double have a higher SV given that is is more difficult than a 3/2?

    WAG L7 vault in 2018

    I thought I read on the board somewhere that L7 vault will be changing in 2018 (to include some kind of timer?) Anyone know for sure? Will FHS still be an option?

    WAG Question and small rant about vault

    DD is 10 year old level 7 who just fell short of doing Level8 this year. This is totally fine, she was missing an important element one of the events. Her best event is vault. She has had a beautiful tsuk waiting in the wings for more than a year now for the rest of her events to catch up...

    WAG Xcel Platinum Vault question

    Hi, I'm not sure if anyone else has already asked this question as I have not been on chalkbucket often as of late. I was wondering about the reasoning behind devaluing the front handspring vault in Xcel Platinum to a 9.8 start value. Platinum is not equivalent to level 7, so why is our...
