Skills of Note in the 2018 Season (W)
The following is a listing of high level skills performed by women in the 2018 Season. To make this list, the skill had to be successfully competed in a meet sometime during the season. The skill competed must have an FIG rating of "E" or "F" or "G", or an FIG Vault Difficult Value of 5.0 or higher. Due to it's high usage in a number of routines, the Pike Jaeger on UB, a 2017 FIG upgrade to an E, has been excluded to keep the list manageable.
The issue of escalating difficult leading to higher injury rates and more wear and tear on the athlete is important. The purpose of this list is not to encourage or foster unreasonable risk or other threats to the safety of the athletes. In fact, many of the skills on this list were only competed in special circumstances. This list simply serves as an archive and collection of skills actually performed by the athletes.

It's finally year, the last Regionals weekend before the NCAA switches to a new format next year. 36 teams, six teams per regional, will battle for one of two team slots that advance to Nationals. In addition, the top two AAer not from advancing teams will also qualify, plus any individual event winner.
It's Conference Championship weekend, and we're our final stretch in the Race to Regionals. 39 teams remain in contention for 36 spots in the post-season, but many of the spots are essentially locked. Our biggest mystery will remain in the final Regional placements of the teams. Here are some impressions from this season:
College coaches create individual filtering systems to consolidate the high volume of inquiries they receive from prospective student-athletes into either “active" or "inactive” recruiting files. Developing an effective and streamlined recruiting highlight video that makes the job of skill evaluation by a college coach an easy one, is a great step in showcasing a prospect successfully.
Many college teams have the option for you to attend a summer camp. Attending a college camp can be one of the best avenues to recruitment.
