Anon Illinois High School Coaches: Help on ski

[Anonymous (505a)]

Hello, I am a new assistant coach currently running open gyms at a HS gym. One of the gymnasts wants to work on an onodi tic-toc, which I know is a skill in the FIG CoP but I don't have a copy of the IHSA rules book, and am wondering if it is still credited as a skill in high school. It's a beautiful skill and I would love to have her learn it. She wants to connect it to a LOSO, instead of her current BHS LOSO series. Could anyone anyone with the rules manual double check this for me? Appreciate it!

I don't have any specific advice, but thanks for the reminding me about a innovative beam routine of the past.

Has your athlete been watching Gael Mackie?


There seems to be a be a few athletes doing Onodi's who really don't have the flexibility to make it look good or gain from it. I wouldn't bother unless your athlete is flexible enough.

Long term - Can you get a copy of the rules from the school? If it's not listed - I would contact whoever is in charge within the state and ask for a provisional rating.

She has been watching Mackie! Love her onodi variations.
As for the flexibility, she's done some on the floor and it looks quite nice imo. I think it would be received well by judged, as long as the variation is recognized as a skill.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to get a copy of the book from her school until season starts I'd assume the value would be the same as a regular onodi, though, just like the FIG code.
