it seems everyone is confused about spins this year (at our rink and the previous post)! For the 2 spins what would couunt? DD cannot do a layback since with glasses, they fall off no matter what we do (can't stop and ask judges to hold the glasses then stop to put them back on) and without glasses she cannot skate at all. So coach hopes camel, sit, scratch and then a sit will be good. It seems like everyone here has a layback as the solo spin. What is the consensus here?
Is this for the non-test/pre-pre level? If I remember right, your daughter is near that level, yes? If so, make the scratch spin a back scratch spin and the spin combo you are talking about is fine(Camel-sit-back scratch spin). Around here, a lot of non-test and pre-pre skaters attempt a layback in their programs. My daughter does not have a good layback yet, so she has not done one in a program. She actually does the spin I mentioned in her pre-pre program. My daughter currently does the spin I mentioned and a pancake spin as her solo spin. I have NO idea if her coach will mix things up a bit for next month's comp but that is what my daughter currently does. We are hoping to have my daughter skate preliminary in Jan/Feb, so I do not know if she will "need" a layback then or not. I think there are other spins that you can put in, instead of a layback.
One thing to think about is doing a camel-sit-back sit. For some reason, my daughter struggles with that combo. She can do a back-sit better solo then in a combo. LOL! It is improving, but not good enough to put in her program. My daughter seems to struggle with back spins. It took her awhile to get a decent back-scratch spin too. Anyway, good luck!
Oh and I can't remember... is your daughter skating the USFSA track or ISI? If it is ISI, then my post probably means nothing since my daughter skates USFSA.
