Gymnastics Practice Competition July 2009 Level 1

This is my daughters first training competition after only doing gym for 6 months and she is 6 years old she was a little nervous but its better to get your mistakes out of the way in the practice comp than the real thing which is in 1 weeks time.

Thanks BKgymnastics - it amazes me as to how many people on youtube started gymnastics when they were 2 years old at level10 as even on other videos you see comments like "I can do that" or "I can do that better" people we all start somewhere! OK off my soapbox now :o)

@LadyHawke9973 Floor and Vault are her favorite apperatus - tomorrow Im buying her a kip bar for home and a beam also

@Cheerbabeforeverable - Thanks yes I think people forget that they all had to start somewhere - if kids were older when they started they might jump a little higher a little more quickly as they would have better co-ordination to start off with (I started her at Cheer and she loves it although now because of Gym she can only do tumbling and Jazz there but she loves it!

Thanks to those who have recently posted and their nice comments - she is now 8 and has spent last term on level 3 and this term jumped to level 4 - Ill get some more video when she has spent a little time in the newer level and starts to learn more of the required skills ... she did cheer leading for a term and does tumbling there also and she has picked up many new skills

yah i'm thinking the same as the other dude this is very boring and my sister has been doing gymnastics for six months and is way ahead of her.

@grannystudio She has been doing cheerleading and tumbling now for 2 months and her skills are so much better she has just turned 8 - she is now at level 3 in gymnastics but the tumbling classes at cheerleading has her at a much higher level than her piers at gymnastics ... in the space of 2 months she has gone from unable to do bridge from stand to being able to do back handsprings they seem to push further at cheer than they do gymnastics here in Australia anyway

thats boring and there like 10 year olds

[piercedjewel]

@MultiDancingstars - yes it might be boring but its level 1 and I dont know how many times I have said this but she was 6 years old and had only been doing gym for 6 months .... read before you comment next time

[Umentme]

It is not boring, i am starting level 1 at age 11, because my parents are missionaries, and EVERYONE has to start somewhere, just because the people up there have enough money to start when they are 3 doesn't mean they can call it boring. They clicked on it and it says level 1. They shouldn't right those mean comments.

[LadyHawke9973]

The routine might be 'boring'...but that's just working through the levels and following the prescribed/required compulsories. Meh to those who don't take the time to find that out.

Meantime...regardless of the nits...she's got GORgeous form and style. LOVED her vault landing, and her control on her floor moves. I bet she's having a blast!!

[cheeseygymnast]

@buddyisdeadful She's good and 6 years old. Everyone has to start somewhere.

[BKgymnastics]

SHE IS AMAZING! IF ALL THE HATERS THINK SHE IS THAT BAD THEN WHY DID THEY BOTHER TO KEEP WATCHING!

[buddyisdeadful]

She sucks and shes very slow

[SnootyF]

Oh wow. For a 6 year old and only 6 months she had a really lovely form. *^_^* It's good to here she's still enjoying it, and thanks for the upload. I was just looking around for vids of other kids doing gym for my wee ones to watch because I thought they might enjoy it, so this is really wonderful, especially since there are so few Aus vids around. :)
