***** Search USAG or AAU Level 3 floor routines. You may hear some variety in music or see a back bend instead of a bridge, but most of these routines are correct and use good form. Have your gymnast watch these over and over. (USAG gymnasts don’t do the back bend/back walkover).
Meets are fast-approaching so they should KNOW their routines on floor and beam on their own.
