Well Emily and Madi have continued on training the same levels we competed last year which is level 6 for Emily and 4 for Madi. Our gym it isn't easy to move up at all. You have to have all your skills to move up and with pretty good consistancy. Our gym is very strict on form and percision. Infact to move to level 7 for Emily... We almost need all our level 8 skills. Round off back tuck beam dismount. Back Walkover/ bhs two foot landing for series on beam. Bars you need two giants and layout flyaway.
Well everyone knows about Emily's mental issues... They got bad this summer.... We lost our robhs except on the resimat totally. Emily grew a ton this summer and finally her strength is catching up to her knew height and weight. Well with the exception of back tumbling on floor everything else is going good. As long as she can stick her back walkover on beam, the rest of the routine looks gorgeous. Her head coach says her floor presentation on floor is the best of the group but we still don't have her back tumbling back so we probably won't be competing floor just yet. Vault looks great as always and bars... is coming along.... She still needs more strength conditioning to catch up to the new height and weight.
However, Emily is doing something else this year as well as gymnastics and that is Dance Team. Emily tried out for a dance team in July and made it
So we are competing dance and gymnastics this year. She is a beautiful dancer and catches on extremely fast. She is in advanced Ballet and Advanced technique as well as doing competition dance in Lyrical and Jazz. She left dance on Thurday and said she loves dance. However, this extra activity means 3 more days of practice in another sport. So she essentially has one day off now.
Madi... She too grew a ton and gained about 10 lbs in the past year but I think she will have a much better 2nd year at level 4 than last year. She needs to develop a lot of upper body strenght to move to level 5 for bars. It definitely is not there yet and well vault is still a struggle for her.
I am excited to have our first meet next week and our new leos are gorgeous. All 260 dollars of them
well that is only 130 for each anyway
