    WAG Feeling like I'm going to peel off the bar

    I had grips and I felt like I was going to peel when I would swing. After I actually peeled once and broke my arm I decided it was time for new grips (I could completely straighten my hand with the leather still bent like it would be around the bar) I held off long in the first place because my...

    WAG P&G Championships 2015

    So I do realize this is really early but I'm sure it's similar to 2014 so I thought I'd ask anyway. I saw the the 2014 championships there were lots of people volunteering, whether just people in around the outer ring of the place or the girls leading the groups around on the floor. How do you...

    I will be going up to PA for the P&G Championships. I have tickets for the Jr. And Sr. Final day on Saturday. I'm super excited as I've never had the chance to see elites compete before! My question is, the juniors are at 2 I believe and the seniors at 7:30. Are you expected to clear out the...

    WAG New Grips - Wrist Hurting?

    I got new grips and changed brands as well as went from velcro (reisport) to double buckle (US Glove) The new grips fit well but I'm having a really hard time using them as they hurt my wrists so bad!! I do have the double long wrist bands and the grips feel fine when I'm just standing with...

    WAG Getting New Grips - Brand??

    I've read several threads on this topic but wanted to get an opinion in my situation. First some background - I'm 20 years old, and compete xcel gold. I'm on the rec. team at my gym and only train 1 hr 45 min. 2-3 times a week. (Plus maybe open gym sometimes) So I'm not a high level gymnast and...

    WAG P&G Championships Worth It?

    I'm looking at going to the P&G Championships in Pittsburgh, PA this August. Unfortunately I only recently decided to consider this and the cheaper tickets seem to be sold out. The only tickets left are around $400 each. Is it worth it to pay that much? I'd also be driving about 4 hours and...

    WAG Becoming a Judge

    WAG Xcel 'Circling Skill'

    What counts as a circling skill for xcel gold bars? Would a long hang pull over count? If not would this routine fulfill the requirements, Kip cast squat-on kip cast back hip circle under swing, swing, long hang pull over under swing half turn dismount? Or would it be better to do kip cast...

    WAG Peeled off the bar, sprained elbow!

    Well, got my first gymnastics injury yesterday! I was on the high bar with a pit on one side and mats on the other, I was facing the pit. I simply did a kip cast and swung forward and on the back swing my grips just slipped off the bar. There was no way I could hold on! So as I was falling I...

    WAG USAG Level Statistics

    Alright, I've tried searching the forums and apparently am not searching the right words. I know at one point a document or website was posted with the number of gymnasts in each level up to elite. Can someone repost or direct me to this? Thanks!

    WAG Deduction on beam

    I have a friend who after her mount she lays over the end of the beam with her back arched and arms out. It looks really pretty! But in order to do this she hooks her feet on the bottom of the beam. She DOES NOT touch the metal supports of the beam. Is this a deduction?

    WAG Level 6 bars challenge.

    Is there anyway to do the new level 6 bars without a free-hip to glide on low bar. Bars is a weak event for me, especially low bar as I tend to hit my feet. I plan on doing an uprise for my 'B' I was talking with my coach and she said you have to have two 'air circling moves' so free hip or...
