The term is gymnastics skills or moves. There's a series of ten levels. Levels 1-3 are non-competition levels. Her coach is getting her ready for competition by scoring her performance. So when you see her "stick it" and hold her arms up, she's waiting for her score. She's currently at level 3 for most skills and level 2 and 4 for others.
I submitted a photo of her for the University of Iowa Women's Gymnastics "Stick-it Contest." The contest required that a "Stick-it" sticker appear in the photo. She won the contest and they posted her photo on Gymhawks Facebook. She was so stoked when they sent her prize: tickets to a meet, two t-shirts and a $20 gift certificate to Panchero's. So cute. In the photo she's wearing t-shirt autographed by the women's team. I made two YouTube videos of Meet & Greet the Gymhawks when she got her t-shirt autographed. http://youtu.be/SU5WtiryJW0 http://youtu.be/OowECvmYri4 [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WOWC4ocW6VY/T3nMWYYIufI/AAAAAAAABNw/\ TD1HNijXBSQ/s576/Stick-it%2521.png] In case the photo doesn't show up, here's a link: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/RFKpB1TQAwxYpWuPiXZ1aNMTjNZETYmyPJ\ y0liipFm0?feat=directlink --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@...> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "raunchydog" raunchydog@ wrote: > > > > Tracking granddaughter's progress in gymnastics.
