    Parents Preventative Care

    Both of my kiddos see a PT regularly (usually at least once a month, sometimes 2-3 times a month, depending on whether it's in season or whether they have active injuries)... It is great for catching things before they become a problem (especially since their PT is part of the gymnastics...

    Parents 6 year old boy invited to go on competition track

    Welcome, and congrats to your son on getting invited to team! This is a wonderful sport. As others have noted, hours vary, but 9 seems reasonable. I've found the men's gymnastics community to be more inclusive and laid back than the women's (my son is 13 years old, L9 Junior Elite, National...

    Parents 2022 DP Nationals (Girls & Boys)

    We just got home from Arizona after what felt like the longest five days of my life! My son ended up having a stellar day 2 of competition, and finished 1st place AA -- making him L8 Junior Elite National Champion (13 year old division) and earning him a spot on Junior National Team! He also...

    Parents 2022 DP Nationals (Girls & Boys)

    My son (L8, 13 year old) is in second place AA after day 1 yesterday! Had a good training day today and is ready for tech sequences tomorrow morning. This is his first nationals (since he broke his foot after Regionals last year), and it's everything we hoped for so far! Good luck to everyone...

    Oh man, that's too bad! My son qualified for JE Nationals last year at regionals and then broke his ankle at practice the very next day, so he didn't get to go to that. Then, for FS regionals this last season, he was recovering from a broken toe and had only started tumbling and vaulting again a...

    I really wished they'd rescheduled it rather than just cancel. But everything was so up in the air and chaotic that summer... Did your son do FS this last season? Mine made camp again, so hoping everything goes as planned for this summer! Good luck to your son at Regionals! My son has...

    They would go to JE Nationals if they make the score. They don't go to both.

    Parents Pros & Cons of the "Elite Path"

    I have two gymnasts. My son Connor just turned 13 and has participated in the Future Stars program since he was 9. My daughter Ellie is 8 and participated in TOPs this last year. The Future Stars program has been invaluable for my son -- the focus on strength, flexibility, and basic technique...

    MAG Can we talk JE?

    To qualify to compete JE at Nationals (assuming you did not mean FS Nationals), they have to receive a minimum score for their optionals+tech sequences at the regional championships. Last season it was either 124 or 125 for L8 (sorry, I can't remember exactly), but it can change each year. I'm...

    MAG Can we talk JE?

    I'll echo skschlag and also say that FS has been a wonderful program for my son, who is second year Level 8 JE (13 years old) this season. He's competed in FS since he was 9 and qualified for FS Nationals, Junior Development Team, and FS Developmental Camp at age 10 and then again at age 12...

    Thank you! I'm so proud of him! He also qualified for the FS camp when he was 10, but then it was canceled because of COVID. Last year, they only had a virtual nationals, with no teams named or awards, so this was his last chance.
