13 Log Rolls Pitch 2 Hand Pitch Pair Pitch Basket (2) 25 13

14 Catch Arms (Group) On Shoulder 26 Routine Balance Demonstrates strength, balance, flexibility and agility. The partners remain in contact at all times during the performance of pair / group balance elements. Pair / group balance elements may be static holds, mounts or motions from one static hold to another static hold

15 Characteristics of Balance Routines: Static hold Pair/group element that is fixed in position for 3 seconds Mount Movement starting on the floor or On a partner into a static position at a higher point Motion by the top Movement from one position to another position Finishing with 3 second hold Motion of the base in pairs Movement from one position to another position Finishing with 3 second hold 28 Characteristics of Balance Routines Pyramids: Men s and Women s Group Pyramids Fixed Pyramids 1 static hold (3 secs duration) Pyramids 2 or 3 holds (3 secs duration) Transitional Pyramids for Men s Group only (M4) 29 15

16 Characteristic Elements Balance Routines Men s group transitions From one point of support to another One box changes (refer ToD) 30 Characteristic Elements Balance Routines Individual Elements Selected from Category 1 in ToD Should demonstrate flexibility, agility and static holds 16

17 Routine Dynamic Demonstrates flight from throws, boosts, pitches and flight before catches. Tumbling elements and series are characteristic. Pairs / groups use a variety of directions, rotations, twists, different body shapes and springs. The characteristic of dynamic elements is that flight is involved and contact between the partners is brief and assists or interrupts flight. 32 Characteristics of Dynamic Routines: Partner to Partner Catch Flight from partner(s) to partner(s) Floor to Partner Catch Flight from the floor to partner(s) Dynamic Flight from the floor with brief assistance by partner(s) to gain additional flight before landing on the floor again Dismount Flight from the partner(s) to the floor or following brief contact with the partner to the floor 33 17

18 Characteristics of Dynamic Routines: Landings on the floor May be supported or unsupported - Control must be demonstrated - eg. Be able to hold the landing position if unsupported Catches Must always demonstrate control - Technical faults will be applied for lack of control Dynamic Links Allow dynamic elements to be performed - In immediate succession - In tempo - Without a stop or additional preparation from 1 element to the next 34 Characteristics of Dynamic Routines: Individual Elements Selected from Category 2 in ToD Must be preceded by motion Must land on one or two feet according to the character 35 18

19 Routine Combined Must demonstrate elements characteristic of both the Balance and Dynamic routine 36 Thank you Thank you for taking the time to do the pre-reading. This will ensure that the faceto-face course best uses the time to prepare you for judging level 1-3! 19
