    WAG Non- NCAA Gymnastics Scholarships

    Hi guys, I have been searching high and low for just about any kind of scholarship to help me pay for college. During that process it seemed like there was some scholarship for just about every sport except gymnastics. I'm not talking about NCAA but foundations and organizations that give out...

    WAG Leotards compulsory vs optionals

    We switch our leos every 2 years. This cycle the compulsory and optionals got the same leo. The compulsories(3-5) got the body in blue with silver jewels and the optionals are black body with silver jewels. So same design but there are distinguishing factors between them. We try to stick with...

    WAG High School Gymnastics

    It is a totally different feeling but you adjust. Over time you learn how to tumble and use it to your advantage. It is quite hard on the body, but you get used to it.

    WAG High School Gymnastics

    I did high school gym for the first time last year and it is way different. In my area the equipment is decent. Some schools equipment is better than others so they usually host a majority of the meets. no spring floor at any school. I believe ours is based off USAG level 9. ex. vault you need...

    Off Topic First day!!!!

    if it is long enough to put in some form of ponytail you should do that. even if its a half pony with the top half of your hair. if not then i would pull/braid/twist back the front so it stays out of your eyes
