Platinum : The minimum age requirement for the Platinum division is 8 years old. This means the gymnast must be 8 before she competes in her first meet. The gymnast must score a 31 AA in Platinum before advancing to the Diamond level or an 8. Here is more information on the platinum routine requirements. Diamond : The minimum age requirement for the Diamond division is 9 years old.
This means the gymnast must be 9 before she competes in her first meet. Here is more information on the diamond routine requirements. Level 6 is the entry level for optional competition. They are instead judged based on the skills they perform and the overall level and performance of the routine.
Optional levels have routine requirements for each event, so when the coach or choreographer is choreographing the routine, they will need to include these requirements or the gymnast will earn deductions. The emphasis in level 6 is on execution of basic optional skills. See the Level 6 Gymnastics Requirements. Level 6 is the only gymnastics level that may be skipped with a qualifying level 5 score.
Level 7 is a mix of both compulsory and optional. In level 7, it is a mix of compulsory and optional because the requirements are more specific but each gymnast still has a unique routine. The requirements are more specific in that, for example, instead of on floor saying that one of the tumbling passes needs a salto element, in level 7 the rules state that the gymnast must perform a back layout in one of her passes.
Here are the Level 7 Gymnastics Requirements. Gymnastics levels are optional levels. Each gymnast has a unique routine on each event, and she chooses which skills to use to fulfill the requirements. Here are the Level 8 Gymnastics Requirements. The requirements for Level 9 get more complex.
Here are the Level 9 Gymnastics Requirements. Level 10 is the last level in the JO program. Here are the Level 10 Gymnastics Requirements. Once a gymnast can perform all the skills required at level 10 she may choose to try out for the Elite program. I hope the gymnastics levels make more sense now!
The gymnast will show a variety of skills from dance and tumbling and combine them into a routine which lasts from 30 - 90 seconds which is solely level dependent. Basically they do the same moves executed on the floor except they are confined to a space that is four inches wide.
Floor Exercise. Floor exercise aka floor is performed on area that is 42ft x 42ft or 12 meters x 12 meters. There is a platform under the carpet which is bonded to foam called a spring floor. Most spring floors are comprised of a layer of carpet bonded foam, a layer of baltic birch wood, and a final layer of baltic birch wood with springs attached.
There are over springs underneath the floor. The girls perform to music; each level of compulsory gymnasts perform to the same music; optional levels choose their own music and in Xcel all levels can choose their own music. Typically at Bronze Level the Staff will choose a single song for the Level to use. The routine should cover most of the area of the carpet inside the lines , must include tumbling, and include lots of dance elements. Why is her score lower than the other girl?
Here offer what we have learned and scrounged up over the last 8 years on the topic with hopes of helping to provide you with that light. Judging gymnastics is complicated and tedious. Parents and spectators need to understand that a judge is only human, and each judge has a different background with a varied level of experience in the sport. Each judge is charged with presenting his or her opinions, used at their own discretion, with a different levels of expectation.
The judgment is ONLY an opinion of the performance on that particular day, for. Gymnastics judges must pass a test that requires a great deal of studying from a very thick manual It's no joke, we have seen it!
They must stay current with changes to routines, scoring systems, and keep up with professional growth opportunities throughout the year to be assigned to gymnastic meets competitions each season. It is definitely a part-time job, pays surprisingly little money, yet it still requires almost full time effort. Here in the U. S, compulsory gymnastic routines are universally defined, and have a start value of The routines, requirements, and penalties are outlined in a book, aka.
The purple book , and each skill or series of skills is given a value. As the athlete performs a routine, the judge notes any mistakes he or she sees using a code of symbols a uniform way for judges to mark skills performed along with execution errors at any give phase of a skill.
Each symbol has a value, and after the routine is complete, the symbols are tallied and this amount is deducted from In Xcel levels, the created routines must contain certain elements. For example, silver bars requires 5 total skills, a mount, dismount, a circling skill, and a cast not less than 45 degrees from horizontal.
As long as the routine contains those requirements, it begins with a start value of There are a few exceptions to this rule when it comes to vault. Certain vaults have certain start values and changes dependent upon the level in which you are competing. A fall is Just to name a few. Then there are penalties for specific skills or a series in the routine that can be set values, or "up to" values. Some examples include: Not placing hands in the correct position on the vault Contacting the mat on the vault after the vertical up to Hooking the knee on a stride circle Failure to show hollow position during a back hip circle up to Failure to attain vertical in a handstand on a beam dismount Early bending of the legs in beam mount-up There are literally pages and pages of rules and possible deductions.
If judges were to think and write as fast as a computer with a video camera, the scores would be very low by many of our standards. The judges with years of experience usually have lower scores because they have so much practice judging gymnastics events. I would encourage you to focus on the gymnasts performance compared to her own personal best, and if she has competed to the best of her ability on that day.
Be supportive on good and bad days. This alone will make your gymnastics experience just as fulfilling as doing gymnastics is for your daughter. This class introduces children ages 4 through 7 to competitive gymnastics in an age-appropriate way. They compete in 2 local gymnastics meets and learn the Junior Olympic Level 2 routine.
