Women Rolls on Beam

[CluelessGymMom]

Hello! Rookie question here. My daughter rarely successfully completes a forward or backward roll on beam, she usually goes sideways and says they hurt. Her gym does a lot of drills on beam with rolls. She successfully does handstands, cartwheels, and back walkovers without hesitation and says those are way easier.

Is this something the gym can work around for competitions? Do any of the levels require a roll on beam? I've seen girls from the gym compete rolls but I don't know the requirements.

It might be a gym rule/policy, but that's strange as we usually only used rolls for the kids who struggled with other acros (xcel gold specifically).

What level is she?

Level TBD. Currently in a bronze/silver combined training group.

They definitely don't have to a do a roll by the code of points or anything.

Great, thank you!
