If you’re a gymnast (or a parent of a gymnast), we are sure you’ve wondered what you could to on your bars routine that will stand out with the judges to improve your score. Take these tips from the youngest judge in North Carolina, at age 16…me!
Do you have all the skills required at your level
Judges evaluate your bar routine to make sure that you have all of the skills required for your level. You can check out our website to see all of the required skills for each level, to make sure that you have all of the skills and elements required for you specifically.
Body Position in Casts
Judges evaluate your body position in each of your casts on bars. You need to make sure that your body position is nice, tight and straight.
Cast Angle for Level
Each gymnastics level has a different cast angle requirement so you need to make sure that you’re achieving your required angle for your level at least once in your routine.
Extra Casts
Judges look to make sure you don’t have any extra casts in your bar routine. You will receive a deduction for each extra cast in your bar routine.
Rhythm
Judges evaluate the rhythm of your bar routine. They want to see a consistent flow in your bar routine – a smooth rhythm without pauses will ensure a higher score.
We hope this helps! Make sure to check out our what judges look for on beam and floor too!
