alright coaches; have you heard from your state/regional chairs regarding possibility of state/regional/nationals being cancelled due to the continued coronavirus outbreak? especially troublesome given: Norcal State: california bay area Region 1 Regionals: california bay area Westerns...

Congratulations to all the competitors at JO Nationals 2019. it was awesome witnessing some of the amazing gymnasts from around the country. DD's JrD group was on fire and won the session with a 154.050. It was rough waking up and having to compete at 5AM California time but DD did an amazing...

Congratulations to all the gymnasts who qualified for JO Nationals. Regardless of whether you came from a huge age group or a smaller group/region, it still takes a ton of hard work and dedication. Hopefully, the huge discrepancy is some of the age groups this year will cause USA Gymnastics to...

thoughts on whether college gymnastics recruiting services are “worth it”? I’m guessing for the elites and top tier JO gymnasts (national winners), service probably won’t help that much as the colleges will already be after these ladies. For the rest, does the connections that some of these...

Not much actual gymnastics drama with Simone competing - but at least we have Simone dropping this little gem:

Anyone know what code changes will be taking place? I guess they are announcing the changes at USGA congress this June?

Congratulations to all the JO National qualifiers from CB... my DD qualified out of Region 1, JR C! we were definitely more nervous than she was. last year, she broke her finger before regionals and missed out on qualifying. In the big picture of gymnastics and life, none of this really...

USA Gym is doing pretty good job at capturing all the scores: https://myusagym.com/meets/live/ and here are links from mymeetscores: http://meetscoresonline.com/Results Can't seem to find link for Region 1 though.. anyone know?

Looks like 2018 Age groups were just released: http://www.jonationals.com/wp-content/uploads/18joagegroup.pdf DD jumped from Jr. A last year to Jr. C this year.

My DD enjoys following the various college gymnastics instagram accounts. Any other good accounts to follow with good content? I'm biased, but our gym account has some good content.. lol @techniquegymnasts also enjoy: @insidegym @flogymnastics @gkelite @mretroplexgym @allolympiagymnastics...

can't believe regular season for JO gymnastics is over and we are headed for the post-season. Almost time for the annual chalkbucket complaint threads on how unfair qualifications to Nationals is for the some regions compared to other regions! Has any rules changed since last year? wonder...

Doesn't look like she did the whole Hopes/Jr. Elite/Sr. Elite route. Competed at level 10 last year and is a 1st year Sr. Elite this year and is now on her way to Worlds! Looking at her scores, she did 2 years at level 9 and was barely breaks 9.0 on Bars during her first couple years at level...

Congrats! https://www.collegegymfans.com/recruiting-news/item/7533-2021-22-sophia-groth-to-auburn.html

Are the toe-on and clear hip variants of the tkachev necessarily harder/easier than from Giant? Do u have certain gymnasts who are more suited for one variant versus another? Should you have s regular tkachev before training 1 of the other variants?

Looks like NCAA trying to get a handle on early gymnast recruiting, verbal offers etc. They recently passed ruling that prevents programs from arranging "unofficial visits" for gymnasts until Jr. year. https://web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/search/proposalView?id=100174 "In women's gymnastics, an...

Is an "E" skill on beam comparable to an "E" skill on floor in terms of difficulty and potential percentage of gymnasts who can compete that skill? Is an "E" dismount on bars equivalent to an "E" release move in terms of difficulty? seems like many more gymnasts can do a double layout dismount...

Parents of level 10 gymnasts: Are you still able to take longish summer vacations with your gymmie? We've been pretty good with taking 1-2 wk vacations since the beginning of gym but now my DD is worried about losing skills while away. I tell her girls come back from longer breaks due to...
