    WAG Is this accurate or complete nonsense?

    Coaches difference between boys and girls grips

    I believe the dowel size is different as well, since the bars are different sizes.

    WAG Special requirements and value parts

    On a side note, but still related.... Is it just me, or is the new optional level 6 potentially easier than the compulsory level 5. Since you can take advantage and play to peoples strengths?

    Coaches Drills for SNAP in Fronthandsping on FX

    Some of my girls are having an hard time understanding (or "doing"-for lack of a better word) the snap at the end of their front handsprings to get a good consistent rebound. I am consistently training the front...reach, kick and block But perhaps someone knows of some drills that will help...

    WAG JO beam deduction question

    i am fairly certain it is still .5 (a fall on the apparatus). I would check with your coach to confirm or ask a judge.

    WAG USAG JO Level 5 Vault Deduction for full spot over vault

    yikes^ Personally (I understand what the rule is) i agree if they need to be spotted then it should be a zero in both level 5 and 6. If they can't do it by themselves, they shouldn't be trying it... Thats like going out in the middle of the floor on a routine and spotting them on a roundoff...

    Coaches Unmotivated Level 4's

    Honestly I just don't know what to do anymore. Went through a fairly mediocre meet last Saturday (and I am being generous here) scoring an average of 7.5 on almost every event. While thats not horrible, it's also something that must be improved on. I'm not sure if they're unmotivated or what...

    Off Topic Gym Cleaning?

    if your talking about cleaning as in "picking up mats and stacking them where they belong" ...the kids kids do it during practice because 24 hands are better than 4 hands. after practice coaches are responsible for making sure the gym is arranged as it should be after their classes are over. as...

UPDATED 8/21/12 - A correction has been made to the Apparatus chapter under Vault (page 67): Jr...

    WAG Why do coaches seemingly avoid conversations with parents?

    yeah i'm just speaking personally. i do have a FT job too so working from 8am to 830pm everyday is what my daily routine is, and if parents are consistently asking for time at practice (especially at the end) i may seem like i'm avoiding you because I just want to go home and sleep!! :) and...

    WAG Why do coaches seemingly avoid conversations with parents?

    this whole subject make me cringe in irony! lol we do not seek out conversation before or after a 3-4-5-8 hour practice schedule because we are mentally and physically exhausted. if you have a question, comment, or concern...please email or set up a time to meet. its really that simple. even...

    WAG Kyla Ross' Coach

    Jenny is awesome and very nice, its just her personality. The whole Gym Max staff is great, helps you set your mats/bars/ etc at meets. I think that the gym is just very positive and proactive with their athletes and it shows. I dont know them personally but we compete in SoCal, so they are...
