    MAG Technical Sequences

    I assume they'll be changing next year, since it's a new quad. Does anyone know for sure? Is there a draft out?

    Parents Dislocated Patella anyone?

    So DS's meet at regionals didn't end well. After three events, he injured his knee during vault warmups. He dislocated the knee cap. There was actually an ortho at the meet who relocated it on the spot. The medics sent us to the local emergency room. The took x-rays, which were clear, and...

    MAG Grip frustration

    So DS has been using high bar grips from a new company and we're not having good luck. I think they lack quality control. The first pair he had, two of the tines for the buckles broke off in the first couple weeks. Now he just started using a new pair, and the leather of the strap snapped in...

    MAG JE JO different this year?

    So we had States yesterday and I was surprised to see that the JO and JE guys were separate for awards. Is there a new policy on this? Is it going to be the same way at Regionals too this year and is the qualifying process for Nationals going to be separate this year? Anyone know?

    Parents Crazy Gym Mom Time

    Forgive me Chalkbucket for I'm about to go CGM. I think we've all got a little tendency here. I know I do and most of the time I work hard to keep it a bay. Normally, I would never become vested in my kid beating another kid. BUT there's one boy who used to bully my son when they were...

    MAG Regional Elite Team update

    So it turns out DS is not going. I'm kind of bummed for him, but at the same time glad to not have to handle another unplanned fly away. It's the first time our region has sent a team, so I guess there wasn't really an established process for picking the team--or maybe there was and I don't...

    MAG El-grip credit

    I'm hoping there's someone on here with enough MAG code knowledge to resolve this for me. My DS is going to add a Higgins Roll to his routine. He does the Higgins roll swings around to handstand and does a hop grip change to reverse grip continuing to a front giant. He thinks that to get...

    MAG FX Start Value

    Is there anyone on here who's good with the MAG JO code and feels like helping me figure out my DS's start value on FX? He's been getting different ones that don't make sense to me and I can't get there based on what I know. KRC? In can go through what I think he should get vs. what he's...

    MAG Men's NCAA Recruiting Nuts and Bolts

    I don't know if there are many people on here with personal experience, but I'm hoping to get into the specifics of the process for boys. We have a lot of general threads that say "it's hard," and "start early," but I wanted to get into the nitty gritty if possible. So here are my questions...

    MAG Regional Elite Team Competition

    Does anyone know anything about it? Last night, DS's coach talked to him about being on the team. I looked on USAG website, but I can't find anything about it. DS said this year it's going to be held in conjunction with American Cup. Does anyone know any details about the competition? I...

    Parents Doc Ali question

    I have a question for those of you whose kids have used the web camp and/or workbooks. Is it geared for girls? DS is doing his first year of level 10 and has some hard skills he wants to get, but his fears do hold him back a bit. I thought it might be worth trying, but I'm thinking if it's...

    MAG set of competition wear

    This year my ds's team is retiring their old step in and getting a new one. I was trying to figure out if there was a way to pass on the old ones to someone who might use them. We have two new with tags and several used ones in a range of sizes. I was considering selling them as a set on...

    MAG Level 10 vault

    Can anyone tell me how it works when the gymnast does two vaults? I have the bonus table, so I know what that is, but does the average of the two vaults go into his AA score, or just the first vault? Thanks!

    MAG Nationals

    Does anyone know when the allotments for Nationals will be announced? I assume they'll be more or less the same as last year. My ds really wants to qualify, but it's kind of a long shot. One more slot for our region could make the difference.

    Parents Meet Raffle

    Hi all. I'm chairing the raffle committee for the meet my ds's gym hosts. I'm wanting to be creative and efficient in the way we approach raffle. In the past, we made parents shop and put together baskets and it was determined to be too burdensome and it wasn't clear that the return on the...

    MAG Boys levels 8-10

    I was just curious if someone could give me a little overview of the higher levels in the boys JO program and sort of the typical progression. Around here is seems typical for boys to do some skipping ahead and I've heard some not nice descriptions of level 8. So I guess I'm just wondering what...

    Rant/Vent

    I haven't been visiting Chalkbucket much lately. I apologize for coming here just to vent, but I'm really mad about this situation and want to share with people who will understand, or who will tell me I'm overreacting. :) So my son moved to a new gym just before this season started. He's...
