    It's definitely going to be fun to watch (and a little stressful for those of us with someone in the lineup).

    MAG How to overcome fear of re-injury

    When my son was a L7/8/9 - every summer he couldn't do twisting on floor (after competing fulls/double fulls all season) - and he couldn't do layouts without wanting to twist - I think it was 3 or 4 years in a row. I did nothing - except remind him to chill and it would come back. His coaches...

    Parents Giants on P Bars

    The first time (at 9/10) when he was tiny & isn’t have to worry about hitting his feet- I’d say about a year of drills and then a few months of actually doing then to be confident. The second time- after growing lots- about 4 months of refiguring everything out.

    https://nationalgym.org/rules-%26-requirements-1 Did you see this? We did the state meet at our gym for fun last year.(Our girls were doing NGA and our boys competed state/nationals if they wanted. Scores seemed much higher than JO.

    Parents First meet this season!

    This is fun - like old times!! DS (L10)has had two meets -both significantly higher AA than last year - both good AA placements. He's 12/12 - which never happens at L10 mens - but he's also all set for college next year and not competing anything crazy where he could get hurt. Best part -...

    MAG Does your son tell you anything about practice?

    I ask - "how was practice?" He says - "OK" and then does whatever it is kids do on their phones - mostly reply to emails & hatch dragons I think. Once in a while - I get gossip on his teammates social lives and I did get to overhear a phone call from his friends who were at an AP study session...

    MAG Mens/boys support?

    Congratulations - I've heard rumors of rough regional cuts in our region too! I don't think any of our JD are scoring near that high - I do agree with your opinion on the seniors & even L10's mostly getting to go - if they are doing hard Level 10 routines -there are going to be some falls (ok...

    Parents Anyone gone back to school in person yet?

    I'm teaching remotely & start hybrid (HS) next week - we are split into 2 cohorts (they are not exactly equal size - but no classes larger than 16 for me) and they attend in person (T/W or Th/F) - Monday is remote still without scheduled classes but time for interventions as needed. We are...

    Parents Anyone gone back to school in person yet?

    My kids are both back in person- junior & senior - 2 different schools - masks all of the time - one way hallways - desks spaced out - lunch is only 2 kids/table - one school added outside tents for lunch & one is using the gym bleacher. So far, so good - my kids are just glad to be back.

    MAG Practices

    We've been back for about two weeks - went from 2 hrs x 4 days week #1 to 2.5 hrs x 4 day week #2. Back to 3.0 hours x 4 days next week and I think that will max it out for a while. I'm not thinking we'll hit our usual summer hours this year and I'm fine with that. Slow, steady, & safe return...
