Coaches Hi everyone, 1st question

[gymnast2coach]

So I have been reading all your questions and answers for a while now and decided it was time to join! I have been coaching USAG compulsorsy levels for the past 6 years. This is the first year our gym has decided to compete in the USAIGC system. I have a brand new group of coppers ranging from age 5-7! They have their first meet next weekend and I can't seem to find an answer to my biggest question, so I figured I'd ask you guys! What is the deduction for them forgetting a routine (on beam or floor) and me having to go next to them and tell it to them? Thanks in Advance!

Since no one has responded yet, I'll throw my 2 cents at it. I'm not sure for USAIGC, but in USAG it's .20. Sorry I can't be of further help on this matter. Glad you took the plunge and joined, welcome!

0.3 over here, so something in that range. They will probably also get deductions for hesitation and interupting the fluency of the routine.

who cares? sometimes the kids that young need help. don't be concerned with the deduction and be prepared to walk them through it. those things are memorable and what gymnastics is all about.
