Which is better for a brand new boys rec team: 4x4 or xcel? Pros and cons? Are there enough boys in the groups to make it worthwhile? Thanks!

Our gym in the PNW is overflowing with little boys! They had a small boys program before the pandemic and there are currently only 8 boys in levels 5-10. This season there were an unprecedented 24 boys in level 3 and I just heard that they invited 56 new boys to join the level 3 team this...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. My son (8) has been in rec gymnastics for about a year now. He has been asking me since the Fall if he can try out for a competitive stream, so I recently reached out to a coach from a different gym which actually has a boys program and he agreed to have him...

My 6yo son loves gymnastics! He’s at an ASI right now doing rec 3x week for 1 hour each. How do I find a good gym for boys that will train him to be competitive? I played soccer as a kid… I know nothing about gymnastics or how to research a serious place for him. Dallas (Texas in general) is...

I have to say… this opening ceremony for Nationals is pretty cool…

With the new rules, our gym said they are doing something called modified optionals for boys team program silver which is like level 4 gold which is like level 5 and platinum after that Does anyone have any more details regarding the modified optionals, is it similar to the compulsory levels...

Hi All - Wanted some input on how many hours the boys are doing and how long the sessions are. My 10 year old was level 5 last year and did 3 hours 4x per week = 12 hours which worked out pretty well. He also did 2 hours 2x per week of TnT. We moved and looking at the new Gyms, the options...

Hello there. I’m a first time poster, so please be gentle :) I’ve read threads and discussions on this site for about 2 months now and I like it, but it’s very much weighted to girls/womens gymnastics. Both of my sons are gymnasts, the older one a Level 9. Are there other discussion...

Hi All, (realised I posted this in the wrong forum, sorry!) (TLDR: The Plan I created with the help of several coaches is attached and I'd appreciate any feedback on any imbalances! :) ) First post here but I've been lurking for 2 years or so now. My DS (6) has never been considered a gifted...

I typically coach girls gymnastics but I have recently been given a boys class! I am unsure of how to spot them because how you would typically spot a girl is kinda weird to spot a boy like that. If you guys have any tips for beginner boys or any good super beginner floor, bar and vault stations...

My daughter has been training with both the girls and boys team at our gym because she likes all the events and enjoys being at the gym as much as possible. Anyone heard of any girls competing level 4 or 5 boys? She is six and knows all the routines already.
