    WAG Maggie Haney suspended

    I agree. My daughter went through this and she was too little to try and stick up for herself and she didn’t want to be disrespectful. It was a gym with obvious favorites for this particular coach, one who would give extra time and attention to those he liked best, all the while ignoring others...

    What's your best guess at what next season will look like?

    I agree with this. Our gym owner suggested something similar- that compulsory season may get moved to winter with the optionals/xcel/boys.

    WAG Post season meets and Coronavirus

    Yes, we got the email just a little while ago. Even though I was expecting it, that email was still sad to read. Hopefully all of this “social distancing” helps to knock this virus out so that kids can get back to gymnastics and we can all get back to “normal,” even though that may be...

    I got the email a little bit ago that all remaining meets are cancelled for everyone

    Exercises for injured gymnast on trampoline?

    My daughter is out with a broken ankle right now and she gets to do conditioning, but not anything on the trampoline. She’s in a boot and is limited as to what the doctor will allow her to do. I’d double-check with the doctor :)

    WAG Is this allowed?

    I’m sorry if it caused offense. I do know this girl, I just figured that this forum was a good place to ask the question since I thought someone would know the answer right away. I don’t have anything against repeating as long as it is done for the right reasons (not ready for whatever reason...

    Parents Shortest or extremely short 10.0 start value level 8 beam routine

    Mine will have the following as skills: Bwo bhs Beat jump split 3/4 turn Switch leap switch Full turn Some excessive posing Round off back layout dismount I think that’s it. Does that meet requirements? I know they aren’t the “typical” for level 8 but she has some back tumbling on...

    WAG Is this allowed?

    Thank you. I appreciate you for backing me up. Yes, my own daughter has repeated because of a gym move and injury. I wasn’t questioning the level repeat, just didn’t know that you could go back down a level. She isn’t injured, and hasn’t been. Like I said, I know this girl, but thought I’d...

    WAG Is this allowed?

    Wow, I didn’t mean to get so many of y’all upset. Yes, I do know her personally, and I guess I should have checked USAG rules before asking my question. I didn’t realize that you could go back and forth between those two levels. She did a full season of 5 last year and then did meets as a 6...

    WAG Is this allowed?

    Thanks. I looked it up at USAG, and I guess mobility is allowed between levels 5 and 6, but I guess it surprised me that they would WANT to go back to level 5 for this fall season when they did 5/6 last season. Every gym has their own way of doing things, I guess.

    WAG Is this allowed?

    If a gymnast has competed level 5 already, then went on to compete a few meets at 6, can they compete level 5 this season? I saw where one girl is doing this and I didn’t think it was allowed???

    I just have daughters but one of the boys from our gym competed this morning. Good luck to all competing this week.

    MyKayla Skinner announces 2020 Olympic run

    And it sounds like she will go home to train and then go back to school in the fall if it doesn’t seem likely that she has a good chance of making the team. I bet she will finish out the semester (school should be about out for summer anyway) and then play it by ear after she gets back to...

    WAG USAG announcement tomorrow

    The news about Jordyn Wieber today was was more exciting for me but I’m sure those in St. Louis are thrilled about the trials being held there.

    WAG Not sandbagging, but...

    You are absolutely right. My daughter competed level 7 at our old gym. We switched and they wanted her to repeat 7 because she had a lot of work to do to get her basics up to par because she wasn’t really ready to compete 7 the first time. She did well repeating 7. Then she got hurt last summer...
