we do a routine that consists of stunting, tumbling (gymnastics), a cheer, a dance, and jumps. we do sideline cheers at whatever sport games, competitions, and lots of other things.
Judges look at your form and how well you do and give you a rating out of 10.0. They take deductions as you are doing your routine for things such as un-pointed toes, bent legs, falling, etc. Different things are worth different amounts: un-pointed toes are about .1 or a tenth, a step on a landing and bent legs are about a tenth also but can be more. Falling is a .5 (5 tenth) deduction which is a big deduction. In optional levels (7-10) (levels 4-6 have routines designed by USAG that they all do so everyone has they same routine) you have to have certain requirements and if you do not meet the requirements they will deduct. In optional levels different skills are ranked from A-E, A being the easiest and E being the hardest. Different levels require certain amounts of different skills levels, for example you need 3 As and Bs. If you don't have the amount that is required they will deduct. and there are lots of other different deductions.
There is no see-saw in gymnastics, but there are many more fun things to do!
Three bad things about doing gymnastics are,Risk of injuryStressPassing/concussions
They do lots of team work and include lots of jumps and things to improve their scores, in gymnastics people use loads of original things.
You can find things like beams, bars, a vault and gymnastics mats on www.amazon.com / www.amazon.co.uk
The muscle in the thigh is called a quadriceps. It takes strong quadriceps to participate in gymnastics.
There is really no height requirement because they adjust things to you
I've done both and there's definitely a big difference though many think it's the same. In gymnastics, athletes show off the difference things they can do using what equipment they get. For example, jumping on beam. But in acro, you do the same things without any equipment. Acro is also more dance-like, in my acro dance we did pirouettes and leaps and also threw in flips and ariels. While in gymnastics you would do a short routine with as many tricks you could fit in. In short form, acro is basically gymnastics without all the equipment and it's more dance-like.
Gymnastics could be fun for the person who has courage and is ready for the thrill of a life time!! i am a level 6 gymnast and i am 11 years old!! try gymnastics it is FUN!!
The USA part is United States Of America. And the I.G.C could mean many things. As far as i know there is a gymnastics camp called International Gymnastics Camp. its in Pennsylvania. I hope that helped :)
