WAG Levels and ages...

[Mish]

Just turned 10 y.o. competed lv 6 last season. Training (yeah I said it) lv 7. Has all lv 7 skills except the freaking giant (required by our gym). If she doesn't get it by end of August she has another shot sometime in Nov. I think she will get it by then. She does not want to repeat.

10 y/o DD training Level 5/6- plans to score out of 5 and compete 6
5 y/o DS training Level 4

My dd is 9, she will be 10 before her 1st meet at her new level. She is currently training both level 7 & 8. She is hoping to compete both next season. If she had a competition tomorrow she would do well as a level 7 but we don't start until January. She is hoping one level 7 meet then the rest of the season at 8. Time will tell...

Age 10, will most likely compete 6 in fall. Coaches planned for 7 but giants just aren't where they need to be yet.

9 year old training 7/8. She wants to compete 8 but she will probably compete 7 in the Fall.

Can you go from level 6 to level 8? Just curious. One of the girls my DD is friends with said she is doing this( not from her gym)

 

[gymbeam]

Sure. People skip levels all the time. Level 6, if done with maxed out routines can be close to 7 in many ways so it's possible for it not to be a huge jump to 8.

She'll have to do at least one meet at 7 to score, though.

15, rising sophmore, will be 2nd year lvl 10. Started rec gym at 7 and USAG at 10 at old level 6.

10 year old competed and did great in level 7 last year. Was planning to move to 8 but has been sidelined with an injury all spring and so far all summer. Looking like she will need to repeat 7 as time is running out.
