Has USAG ever looked into readjusting the regions to make the number of girls per region even slightly more even? Looking at the number of girls per age group for level 9/10 regionals and it just seems massively unfair for those girls in larger regions. For example if you’re a level 9/10 in...

My level 9 was diagnosed with a buckle fracture on her radial head from catching the bar weird on a bail 2 weeks ago. The ortho said it should heal in 3-4 weeks and she goes back for more xrays in 1.5 weeks to hopefully be cleared to ditch the sling and start PT. She never lost range of motion...

Our PT and coach are both very much against using these, they insist on Ezy Wrap Pro instead. Found this reel on fb comparing them

I thought I had my head wrapped around the difference between a swing-1/2 and a blind, however after a friend sent me her daughters bar routine from this past weekend I realized her daughter and mine (different gyms) have completely different techniques on how they do it and now I'm confused...

Kind of a spin off of the qualifying for states thread. When does your season start / end, and how many meets do your kids compete in? Do you guys do travel meets? We start in mid-January and finish in March-May depending on level. Levels 3-5 have 5 meets, no state or anything as it’s in the...

This is for USAG DP level 9, Is a tour jeté on floor a B or a C? My daughter claims her coach is saying its worth the same as a switch-half (which I'm almost positivie is a C?), but that doesn't sound right to me. Not that it really matters, since she can't really do a switch-half yet, and its...

I’ve been researching online and I *think* I have level 9 bonus figured out. I made myself this cheat sheet, can anyone let me know if something is wrong or missing. *D skills count as C for connection bonus FLOOR D = +0.10 Dance Bonus C+C = +0.10 Acro Bonus (Direct) B+B = +0.10 A+C =...

Apologies in advance for this somewhat duplicate question, I was going to reply to an older thread, but figured I’d get more specific advice as a new post. When should I start a gymnastics Instagram for recruiting purposes for my daughter? Is it once she’s competing level 10? Once she’s...

Does anyone know what the qualifying percentages & at large per state numbers are for 2023 for level 7 and 8 in region 3? Level 8 state for Texas is this weekend, and I feel like those numbers are usually posted somewhere by now.

My daughter is a 12 year old level 8 and can't stop talking about how much she hates competition season, keeps saying she can't wait for it to be over so she can work on upgrades and not worry about routines. She wasn't like this last year as a 7, however she was scoring high 37s last year, and...

Anyone know what composition / up to level deductions the following level 8 routines would have. She’s training upgrades for these routines, but as of right now this is what she’s planning to compete. Beam Tbd mount at least A level Backwalkover-bhs series Split jump + split jump Full turn Bhs...

Talk to me about concussion recovery timelines? How long did it take your kiddos to come back fully after a concussion? My daughter is about 11 days out from a fall onto her head/neck off the high bar (she peeled off backwards warming up tap swings of all things, she’s a level 8 so not a skill...

My daughter is getting ready to compete level 7 and I’m a little confused on clear hip angle requirements for bars. Her routine (for now until the clear hip handstand into giants is more consistent) is kip cast handstand, clear hip (usually around 45 degrees, sometimes a bit higher) kip cast...

It feels like there’s an abnormally high amount of injuries in our gym right now. My daughter being one of them. When do you worry that it’s the coaching/gym causing them vs just being a stroke of bad luck? Are there specific types of injuries that raise red flags? Our gym seems to really limit...

Hi, my daughter will be a first year optional in Jan '22, won't know for sure what level until October, but we are assuming 7. Curious when do your girls usually choose music and get routines choreographed for the season? I had asked our coach about choosing music a couple weeks ago and was told...

Just wondering how long it usually takes / how hard it is, to transfer skills from strap bar to real bar. We never had a strap bar back when I was a gymnast many many years ago lol. My daughter has been doing giants on straps for months but hasn’t attempted on the real bar yet. She also has her...

My daughters gym is opening back up on Monday, and there’s no way I can make myself send her. She’s heartbroken, and now won’t even have her weekly zooms with her team(that she sort of hated anyway, but that’s beside the point) No advice needed, just venting. I’m sad.

Attempt at tracking data per state on whether gyms are open or not -> Google sheet and a fun map created from that data (not updated in realtime) https://codepen.io/alisonjoseph/full/yLYKJXB Anyone can update/add to the spreadsheet above and I'll update the map. (help I'm bored)

My 9 year old daughter is so OVER her team zoom workouts, and conditioning list. How hard should I push her towards doing it? A little info, her coaches have Zoom meetings 3x a week in the afernoons for ~3hours; this is split into 3 rotations, conditioning, bars/vault and beam/floor. (they use...

What about gyms that are also licensed child care that never closed? https://www.facebook.com/pg/Texas-Academy-of-Gymnastics-Leander-181208029135271/posts/ This isn't my gym but I'm on their mailing list because we did a week of summer camp before. They just emailed reminding that they were open...
