*New* Body Waves for Rhythmic Gymnastics

Course Description

This course provides coaches and judges with a thorough overview of body waves from the perspectives of both teaching and evaluation. The course walks step by step through front body waves, back body waves, and side body waves, breaking down the requirements for each type of wave to be valid and providing a quiz at the end of each unit to check learning and give immediate feedback on understanding. There is also a section on partial body waves and a section with extensive example exercises and teaching tips. The example exercises and teaching tips will guide coaches in how to develop proper body wave technique in their gymnasts. Throughout the course, expertise from multiple clinicians from around the world is included to give a well-rounded perspective on body waves for rhythmic gymnastics

JO Course & Exam Update:

 

Due to the importance of group to the USA rhythmic program in the coming years, the Rhythmic program has added Int/Adv group in November along with the other components of the JO course and exam.

 

To stay consistent with the previous testing this cycle, the group exams will be compulsory for all judges taking the L3-6 and L7/8 exams. One grade will be given to each participant for Level 3-6 and Beginner group combined. Two separate grades will be given for Level 7/8 and Int/Adv group.

 

What does this mean for you?

  • Exam participants: be sure to prepare for both group and individual.

  • Current judges: There will be a possibility to re-test for Int/Adv group in Indianapolis on November 16th.

  • All coaches/judges: Additional group material will be available as part of the online JO Course.

 

Updated course/exam directives for the JO levels are available here: https://usagym.org/pages/education/courses/Y302/

Dear Rhythmic Coaches and Club Owners,


The new Rhythmic Xpress Rules are attached here. Please take the time to look it over, it might be your next big program! Offering flexible rules and both group and individual competition options.


This program can serve your recreational and special athletes. It's structure is similar to the women's Xcel Program. Rhythmic Xpress was created to allow athletes another option for training and competition at the grass roots level.
This program will have it's final Championship meet in conjunction with the Open Championships in May. We encourage all clubs to offer Xpress competitions at all sanctioned JO program meets. Let's GO, Let's GROW!
I look forward to seeing everyone in the new season!

Dear Region IV Pro members,

 

I am resending this information to be sure JO judging course participants have the updated versions required for

the course.

 

 

We are pleased to inform you that the RG Code of Points 2013-2016 has been updated following modifications 

that have been made by the RG TC and published on the FIG website on July 1st, 2014.

 

All versions (English, Russian, Spanish, German and French) of this new Code of points named:

 

RG CoP 2013 – 2016 (valid from 1st January 2015) with marks (= with visible modifications highlighted in red)

 

RG CoP 2013 – 2016 (valid from 1st January 2015) (= a “clean” version)

 

as well as the new:

 

RG Symbols Tables 2015 (Valid from 01.01.2015) (English only)

 

Difficulty, Execution Penalty and Coordinator Penalty Judges’ Forms (English only)

 

can be found here to be downloaded.

 

A presentation with videos illustrating these modifications will be available very soon.

As the clarifications mentioned in the Help Desks dated March and May 2014 have been integrated into the new version of the CoP, these two documents have been removed from the FIG website.

J.O. Technical Update - Dec. 12, 2013

 

 

  1. The November 2013 FIG Help Desk indicates that score forms must be done on computer for official championships. In the US, Levels 9-10 follow the official FIG Code of Points.
    Only Level 9-10 score forms will be required on computer for Championship events (State, Regional, JO, NQ, Nationals). Thus, not required for Levels 7-8.

  2. JO Skirts:

    1. As per the rules, "The skirt must be fitted to the hips"—it is not possible to review by email individual skirts. Please use discretion for your own gymnasts. The intention is avoiding "puffy" skirts—which do not fit closely to the hips—to avoid a 'costume' look.

     

  3. JO: Level 6 ribbon confusion: Coaches have inquired based on their interpretation of the JO Handbook, Level 6 apparatus: All JO Courses have been taught the same way this cycle:

    Level 6 Apparatus (ribbon or otherwise):

    • 8 technical groups, all of which are different (throw not required but is possible!)

      • Medium throw with criteria

      • Catch from Medium throw with criteria

      • One large throw

     

    Thus: for ribbon: both boomerang and a medium echappe are valid for the medium throws. EXAMPLE: Two medium: one CAN be boomerang, one CAN be medium echappe, and one large throw.

  4. The JOTC made a few inclusions for the JO Program to the Summary Table of Fundamental Technical Groups specific to each apparatus and Other Apparatus Technical Groups and Table of Criteria for Apparatus Combinations. In yellow now in the JO Handbook online, apologies that they were not included in the recent posting.

  5. Due to the schedule of the event in Daytona Beach (Open Champs/RG and Trampoline JR Pan AM/ RG and Tramp International Senior Invitational), Open Championships will be for Levels 5-6 this year. The Rhythmic Program Committee has approved, in the revision process of the Rules and Policies for 2014, that the inclusion of Level 4 will be decided ye

  6. Yearly based on the event organization (venue/schedule possible in 2013; not in 2014, etc).
