I posted a reply on the adult gymnastics competition forum but noticed that not many people have been paying attention to that thread recently so I decided to start another specifically having to do with the aau junior olympics this year.
I was wondering how many of you are planning on competing, what ages you are, what your skill level is and what events you'd like compete in? I'm 28 myself and probably about a level 6/7. As of right now I'm only taking an hour private lesson once a week and hoping they will allow me to come in and practice on my own as competition time approaches. Sometimes I feel its kind of silly of me to be trying to compete again, especially since I'm not that advanced and am still struggling with some basic skills such as a front handspring on vault, using the springboard instead of a mini trampoline. I would like to compete floor, bars and vault if I'm ready but wanted to know what everyone else's plans are.
I'll have to travel all the way from the east coast of South Carolina to Iowa if I end up competing. I don't know if I'll be able to get a coach to go with me or not since I am the only adult gymnast in my area. Are any of you traveling a long distance also to go to this competition? Do you know if you have to have a coach with you?
