    MAG Men's college recruiting - Academies vs Other Colleges

    My son is entering his sophomore year in high school, so he's starting to think more seriously about college gymnastics. He's currently really interested in the Naval Academy or West Point. What are the real differences between recruiting for colleges vs. the academies?

    MAG Start Values?

    @skschlag 's posting of start values from the Meet Day thread got me thinking...Do start values change from level to level? Is a start value of a level 8 routine equivalent to a start value in a level 9 or 10 routine or are there differences?

    MAG The "scoop" on Level 7?

    Our gym will be competing level 7 for the first time in many years (they used to just go from 6 to 8). So what's the deal with 7? Base skills? What bonuses to boys tend to compete? What are the tough skills to get? Scoring differences from 5/6? Thanks!

    MAG Men's Elite stream vs. JO?

    Could someone help me understand how the "elite" program works with JO in men's gymnastics? This comes from a comment I heard from someone on the girls side of our gym about our boys program basically stating that any of our boys team results in JO level 10 weren't really all that impressive...

    Parents any other non-US citizens living/competing in US? Question for you?

    Anything you have had to do differently with respect to USAG membership? Send a note to the gymnastics federation of your home country, etc? Do you have to do this each year? I sent one last year, but I'm not sure if I should this year as well? Finding it tough to find info about this!
