I have a gymnast who is graduating high school and would like to continue to compete on the JO track. She is a level 9 and going to a local college with no gymnastics team. Does anyone know the rules on this? We have only done adult AAU before.

I have a gymnnast who keeps having the hollow body position out of the front layout. This will make it hard to connect it to anything in the future. I have tried to get her to correct to an arch but she is still hollowing out. Are there any drills anyone can suggest?

My dd is learning the Yurchenko vault and her coach says she needs to get the tiger paws. She really has never had any braces or wraps before so I am wondering why he is requiring them. Does anyone else use them? What is the reason he would require them?

So I have decided to have tryouts for team. Mostly for compulsories. Due to some parents deciding to take off for the summer and other parents worried about the level changes, I have decided that we will be open to all decisions about team placement. I want to have a team tryout day similar to a...

Ok, it seems that lately a team gymnast will have a birthday and the parent will bring in cupcakes at the end of practice to celebrate the birthday. Why would you after working out for 4 hours and it being late at night give the kids cupcakes? I have 34 kids on team. That could be 1 cupcake...

Well last year as part of our program, I used the 2 levels of xcel (gold and Plat) in my state as an off season/ in between levels. The girls who finished old 5 states in fall competed xcel gold in spring. and those who could score out of old 6 but not ready for 7(no giants) did xcel plat in...

At my dds gym this will be the new policy. They will have the kids compete 4 twice then test out of 5, if they have giants they compete 7 if not then 6. I think it is weird to go from essentaily 4 to 7 in one year but that is what some kids at her gym wil do.Thank goodness she is a level 9.

We are at a small gym so I have groups as follows: the 1s and 2s(old 2s and 3s), 3s and 4s(old 4s and 5s) test out of 5 (OLD 6) when ready, then optionals(when they have giants) The groups don't mix except on sat morning when we all stretch and run. I am thinking of having a new level 5 group to...

I really hate this show and wish USAG would stop promoting this show. I don't care if a former gymnast was dancing on this show. This is not gymnastics.

well the gym that I coach at does not require a score to move to the next level but I know of many gyms that do. USAG says no score from 1-3, from 4-7 now 31 and 8-10 34. Our states require a 32 to go to state and if u hope to go to regionals it is 36 for level 7 and 8 but 34 for level 9 and 10...
