Question
What is the difference in scoring a flyaway dismount in Level 8 from a double back tuck?

Answer
Debbi:

Can you be more specific in telling me the TYPE of flyaway you're asking about?  Tucked flyaway, layout flyaways, there are different deductions for performing certain dismounts at Level 8.

I need more information from you before I can answer.

Expertise

I can answer any question regarding pre-school through optional competitive gymnastics, although I have more of an expertise in USAG Levels 1-6. I can recommend teaching techniques and drills for skills from preschool through Women`s Level 6 (USAG) gymnastics. I can also answer questions about the history of gymnastics, the apparatus used in both men`s and women`s gymnastics. I choreograph women`s gymnastics routines, and mix music for floor routines. I am also ready to offer advice for those who want to expand or start a comprehensive gymnastics program.

Experience

I was a former optional gymnast at Cascade Elite Gymnastics in Washington State. I have coached preschool, recreational, compulsory, and optional gymnasts. At this time, I am coaching at Moberly Gymnastics Academy in Moberly, MO. I am responsible for creating lesson plans and developing the program from preschool level to our compulsory. I coach all levels, although work mainly with Developmental and Compulsories. IF YOU NEED FLOOR MUSIC, I CAN HELP YOU! I MIX AND CUSTOM CUT FLOOR MUSIC FOR ALL LEVELS OF OPTIONAL GYMNASTS. CONTACT ME ASAP FOR A DEMO CD TO PLAY ON YOUR COMPUTER.
