    WAG Getting a do-over at State?

    Speaking as a judge as well as coach - at any meet if the music cuts out for any reason the gymnast is allowed to repeat her floor routine (the coach has to make the decision of having the gymnast redo the routine without knowing what the routine scored in the case of the girl finishing it and...

    WAG HC doesn't talk to me - is our conditioning good? what do you coaches do with your athletes?

    I know of many gyms in my area that not only condition similarly but also condition WAY more than what is listed in the OP's message. I do not think it's overboard but obviously the actual workout itself would have to be observed to give a "real" opinion on it. What I am not sure of is...

    WAG [Question for other coaches] Front Handspring Vault Board Placement

    Hello other coaches (athletes are also welcome to add their input!) I am just curious. I have friends who coach at three other major gyms in my area, while I coach at the fourth.

    At what point is the clear hip swing degree measured?

    I'm 80 percent sure that the angle is judged when the gymnast shifts her wrists. 20 percent of me is telling me that I'm making a fool out of myself.

    Highly amusing moments this season - from a judges perspective

    Crazy gym EVERYONE.

    @CoachGoofy You show amazing restraint... If someone even DARED trying to pull that stunt on warm ups by taking 1/3rd of the floor with their team (and they weren't 1/3 of the meet), you would see my face in the paper! JK kinda.

    Bars scoring

    Gymdog got it exactly right…Judging is not always as transparent as some people would like to think it would be. A fall is .5, however say a kid doesn’t fall but... she arches on her casts (up to .2), has leg separation on her cast (up to .2) has bent legs (up to .3), bent arms (up...

    The World's Toughest Sport- where do we rank?

    I got to "Speed - 3" on the gymnastics page and then the author lost all credibility in my eyes and I stopped caring about his article....

    Girl Drama UGH!

The only way she could have found this thread was by using the search engine....which is something that isn't done enough :P
