Those of us in Northern California are fortunate to have both a club and two NCAA in the area. Also I just saw that there's now a New York Alliance Club. Nice to see the club programs open. But seem to be some gaps in some regions of the country where there are a lot of jo boys. Hope...

John Lucas is at Technique - Rancho Cordova (Sacramento Area).

https://norcalunitedgymnastics.com Nice to see this growing. If you have time read about the coach on this site he started gymnastics as a freshman at level 5 and was at level 10 by a senior. He went on to do Club gymnastics at Arizona State. Nice to hear success stories of boys that started...

Hooray! Nice to hear about kids struggling and then turning it around.

Yaaaaay! So happy for him!

6'5" - wow ! Yeah at one of my sons meets we had a wide range of height difference in the rotation group. Coaches got a good workout on high bar removing mats and putting them back during warm-up as different kids were taking their turns. It was funny to watch, but figured the coaches got a...

Must start with confessing as a recovering CGM, I struggled with this as well when my kids started gymnastics. Plus being around other CGM's at the gym and meets makes it seem acceptable and normal and good parenting which it isn't. OP deserves credit for recognizing your own CGM, and coming...

http://www.stickitmedia.com/ncaa-mens-gymnastics-six-feet-and-over-club/ As a parent of a very tall gymnast it's always nice to see this list and share with my son.

Awesome job of your younger son! I am with you sometimes I am celebrating just competing new skills, and just not falling off pommel horse, rather than getting to Regionals or Nationals. It must be hard for your older son not having a peer group. I know for my son and that's a big part of...

We did this. It was a better move for my son than my daughter. Unfortunately my daughter's coach was better at the old gym, but after about six months she got a better coach. There is just no way I was going to drive in opposite directions. It was many years ago, kids were both preteam at the...

Big Thanks, @krc for the response, and for taking the time to explain why it isn't easy to change. Lots of change this year, and mistakes or unintended consequences will happen along with change unfortunately. Always easier to see in hindsight of course. Although my son isn't impacted by...

Forgot to add, had a boy on son's team had soreness in leg, not sure if it was heels or ankle or what. Finally went to doc and it was a stress fracture. So he was in boot and pretty much missed almost all season. Sure would be nice to have clear parameters on what to do. Some kind of flow...

Your post is very relevant to what my son is going through, our boys are so close in age and levels and both had recent coach changes. If my son said everything always hurts, I would be concerned too. I mean I know injuries and sore muscles happen, but I wish we as parents, gymnasts and...

Curious to know the answer to this question as well. Was this an oops! or intentional? If intentional, what is the rational? Could it be that event finals qualifications for level 10's has an impact? I don't know how this has worked in previous years, so no idea how many level 10's qualify...

I like to see the actual numbers, so I looked at 2016 for Region 1 and compared the two years. As others have mentioned, the national allotment numbers haven't changed too much across the different levels. The level 9 and younger level 10's haven't changed too much. Regional changes: The...

For region 1 would be 30 / 56 or 53% for lev 8 11/12. For 9 and 10 around 30% qualify. Anyone know if it has always been this way or is it a change from prior years? And if so, anyone know why?

For optionals, MAG National allotment is now posted on the USA Gymnastics website. https://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=19899&prog=h

Yay on doing his first double in competition on the floor! And no falls on pommel horse! Our region takes all the level Nines in the 13 to 14 age group to Regionals. I was surprised to see that yours doesn't, but I would expect a 5th place AA states would easily be high enough for...

You got me wondering- comparing this to California allotment, I had to subtract out the level five gymnasts. The total for California is 627 for 6-10 + JD. While the other states in the region are 220. I believe California is the only state that divides the state into North and South for MAG...

I would also recommend getting this checked out immediately by a doctor. I don't mess around with the back - my son had a problem about 2 years ago turned out to be very minor and was treatable with physical therapy. But we had the tests run to ensure it wasn't anything serious. In his case...
