My son is new level 5 I went thru the rules and requirements - I could figure some of the things only for vault and pommell

Thanks for the response. I'm guessing it is similar, but I can't find any details with start values etc.

Hi - Our gym is doing NGA this season, and we would like to understand the scoring and how the start values are calculated, since this is more like optional format. I have a good understanding of vault and pommell, but not the other things, and DS is confused too. He wants to understand the...

Thanks for your response. There are no 1 hour practices - the low hour practices are 2.5 hours each time for artistic gymnastics. Tnt practices are 2 hours long. I feel 3 hours is ideal, which is what we had in the previous gym

Thanks for all the input. We are also worried about overuse injuries - DS started going to the longer classes and started loving them - but he gets very slight stomach pain while doing a sit up - This happened to him once before and it got worse to a sharp pain on situp type exercises, and he...

Thank you so much for the detailed and easy to understand reply!! This forum is awesome. I had the exact same concern that making him learn the un-natural twist direction would create additional problems for other skills. (since DS did say that right twist was initially also more difficult for...

With the new rules, our gym said they are doing something called modified optionals for boys team program silver which is like level 4 gold which is like level 5 and platinum after that Does anyone have any more details regarding the modified optionals, is it similar to the compulsory levels...

Sounds similar to what they are offering us. I don't think we should go for the 5 hour option at all!

Hi All - Wanted some input on how many hours the boys are doing and how long the sessions are. My 10 year old was level 5 last year and did 3 hours 4x per week = 12 hours which worked out pretty well. He also did 2 hours 2x per week of TnT. We moved and looking at the new Gyms, the options...
