How do you make a start value in gymnastics?
This is they way in the Olympics
With the difficulty of your skill(vault) or the combination of all your skills(beam,floor,and bars) you come up with a start value on difficulting(such as a 6.6) then a 10.00 is added with a 'Starting Value' of 16.6 then to get your final score they deduct the points and then you get your end score.
AnswerEach element in a routine is categorized by difficulty, in sections A-E, with A being the simplest, and E being the most difficult. The starting value is the summation off all of these skills' Degree of Difficulty score. AnswerFor most compulsory gymnasts the starting value is 10.00. But the more elite the gymnast the more variations there will be within start values. Say there is a college gymnastics team and one girl is going to only do a front handspring on the vault (which is a very simple skill) and another girl is going to do a tsuk (a very difficult skill) it would not be fair for the judge to base both vaults off of a 10 because the front handspring should be absolutely perfect. So because the front handspring is an easier skill it has a lower start value. AnswerThe other answers are pretty good but what pretty much how a routine is scored.There is there is an A and a B judge. The A judge adds up certain points (that are known to all gymnasts and coaches) for each skill that is completed sucessfully. The B judge score out of ten and deducts for any mistakes i.e. falls, wobbles, extra swings/steps, bent arms/legs, low landings, "closed shoulders, incorrect body positions etc.These to scored are then added together to give a final score for the gymnast. On vault a score is tabulated for each vault and then the average is found( at major competitions and the Olympics). On other occasion the higher score is taken.
Are gymnasts allowed to wear shorts in competitions?
Male gymnasts are required to wear shorts on the vault and floor, while wearing long slacks on all other apparatus.

What are the risks of gymnastics?
well many things if gymnastics is started by a child at a young age and is practiced till the late or early teens it can be very grueling on the body and cause many spinal problems because all that is happening is all the stress on the spine that gymnastics puts on the body is happening at the developing stage so really it is super hard on the body and has the 2nd highest total injuries in a sport. Physical therapists also say that a girl who starts gymnastics at 4 by the time she hits 14 or 15 she will have the bone structure and strength of a 70 year old.
Do you have to do gymnastics to be a cheerleader?
If you're cheerleading for a sport, not usually. It is more of a spirit cheer team than tumbling. If you're doing a competitive team, yes you will need tumbling. You will be placed in the back while the team does whatever tumbling until you get your needed skill.
i think it doesn't really matter but then i hope you like being in the back. and as long as you improve your tumbling skills through the year then you will be fine!

What you have to have to qualify for level 2 gymnastics?
Level 2 is a recreational level in all of the *USA Gymnastic Sports. It is not competitive. Therefore, there are no official standards that have been set to qualify for level 2. Depending on the gym, the decision is subjectively made by the instructor, recreational director, or other qualified employee of the facility. The instructor may move a gymnast to level 2 once all or most of the level 1 skills can be consistently performed in practice. Some may require the gymnast to learn some of the level 2 skills before moving up, so that he/she will be able to perform the level 2 routines/passes.

Other factors affect the decision as well, such as age, behavior, scheduling, and even potential. Sometimes older gymnasts are bumped up a level prematurely to be with other older kids. Other times, gymnasts are either held back or moved up because of behavioral issues. An easygoing gym might even allow gymnasts to be moved up or down a level if it accomodates the parents' schedule better (moving up is very rare in this case). Furhtermore, some gymnasts who have extraordinary potential need to be in a class that will be extraordinarily challenging.
As a parent, the best way to tell if your child has been overlooked and should be moved up is if he/she is getting bored in class. Either he/she doesn't like the sport at all, or it's too easy. Repetition in class does not mean the class isn't learning anything new; they are perfecting their skills and basics. Gymnastics is a very slow sport to learn properly. The coach should be able to report which level 1 skills need improvement and why. Moving up too soon can either challenge the gymnast to work harder and "catch up" to the other gymnasts, but more often causes him/her to feel inferior and frustrated, at which point the gymnast will completely lose all interest. Do take the time, however, to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructor or program goals.
Does gymnastics make children growth shorter?
It doesn't ! Two 4 year olds begin the discipline of gymnastics. They are equal in performance. By age 8, one of the two has grown more and is four inches taller than the other. For the taller one, gymnastics becomes more difficulty due to the lenght of the body and the coordination required to perform certain moves. By age 12, the taller one is a-head taller and moves become more difficult and interest fades for the taller one but the shorter one continues to progress. By age 16, the taller one has dropped out leaving only her friends, the shorter one, as a gymnast. The perception then is that gymnastics stunts growth. It's the difference in DNA and genes the produces growth, not gymnastics.

How do you do cartwheels in gymnastics?
To begin a cartwheel, stand in a lunge; your "favorite" leg in front, knee bent slightly, arms up by your ears.
Let's assume you are a right sided gymnast; if you're a lefty, simply reverse these directions. Reach forward with your right arm, kicking your left leg up as you do so. The left hand should follow very quickly, and as it touches the ground, your right leg should be off of the ground also. You should pass through a straddle handstand briefly. Your left leg will reach the ground 1st, followed by the right, which you will place in back, finishing in a lunge, just as you started, but with the opposite leg in front.

Where can you to sign up for gymnastics?
there is not only school cheerleading but competitive cheerleading as well. there are what we competitive cheerleaders call gyms. gyms all focused on cheerleading- cheerleading gyms! these gyms you can take tumbling lessons at and also be on a team that competes at reginal and national competitions. in the dallas, tx area there are gyms such as EXCITE, SPIRIT OF TEXAS, CHAMPION CHEER, SPIRIT XTREME, PRO SPIRIT, ect. but after all of these names is the word allstars. every gym that competes has the name but at the end of the name is allstars.
EX..... Ultimate Cheerleading Allstars (most likely not a real cheerleading gym)
these teams are usually pretty expensive and it takes a lot of comitment. sometimes up to 4 or 5 times a week- the gyms that take that much comitment are usually the gyms that win! if ur daughter joins you'll pay for uniforms which can be up to $300 but usually around $200, extra clothes u can spend about $150, and shoes u'll pay about $200 because of course her feet will grow and her shoes will get worn out!
SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG BUT I TRIED TO MAKE IT SHORT= HOPE IT HELPED YOU OUT!
-actually its around $3000 dollars if you go to a winning gym. plus the cost of uniform and shoes. ($600) so if your really commited its expensive.
