    Parents Canadian Gym parent - Xcel vs Compulsory

    I'm sure this has been asked ad nauseum so I do apologize. My daughter is Silver Xcel, this will be her second year competing. We do like her gym, she likes her gym, but every once in a while she comes home and says things that make me question whether or not the Xcel kids get the same...

    Anon SoCal combining optionals and compulsory state meet seasons into Mega State Meet… fallout?

    I feel like with the USAG season changing to just having one giant Level 3-10 state meet in the spring this year that we will have some interesting turnout situations arise. All the top gymnasts in SoCal usually compete 4 or 5 states in the fall and then jump to Level 6 or 7 in the spring. If...

    Anon Compulsories wearing graduation year leos

    Image added by ChalkBucket There seems to be a new trend with some of the level 3s and 4s at our gym wearing leos with their graduation year on the back (2032! 2033!) I don't think the coaches like this much. I think those parents are crazy and putting way too much pressure on young kids...

    Anon Qualities of Compulsory Gymnasts that Predict Successful Level 10/Collegiate Careers

    Are there things you look for in a L2/L3 gymnast that indicate she might be successful in making it to L10 or college? We had a coach tell us that she thought my daughter had what it took to make it to L10 and onto a collegiate career. Our gym does send several girls to college for gymnastics...

    WAG Video of 1989 compulsory routines levels 5-7. How do they compare to contemporary levels?

    Any older former gymnasts remember these routines from the early 1990s? I’m just coming back to gymnastics with my kids after a 30-year hiatus and I’m trying to figure out how the current levels compare to the old levels. I think contemporary JO level 4 and 5 are like the 1989 level 5 & 6...

    Parents Compulsory Level 2-4 Gym DFW

    My DD had tryouts at 2 gyms in DFW for Level 3 and I'm not sure how to evaluate the differences. One is Kurt Thomas and one is WOGA. I've considered adding Metroplex but we didn't have a good experience with them at the preschool level several years ago even though people rave about that gym...

    Parents Fall State Meet Compulsory qualification with spring score?

    My daughter competed 3 spring 2022 level 5 meets. Does she need to compete level 5 in the fall to qualify for states if she already qualified in all 3 20222 spring meets? Would rather focus on optionals training in fall. There was no state meet in the spring FYI, unlike during the 2021 when...

    Parents Advice for Pre-Team and Compulsory Parents from Optional Parents

    My gymnast is now training for level 8. The past few months, I’ve had a few parents of compulsory and preteam gymnasts asking for advice. I thought this would be a great place for parents of optional level gymnasts to share some valuable wisdom that we have learned over the years. So optional...

    Hi, I'm desperately after some help understanding what seems to be really confusing! My daughter is 7 and lives and breathes gymnastics. She has been in a WAG development squad since she was 5 but due to Covid only experienced her first Grades recently. While most in her squad did Club grade 6...

    Parents Compulsory Coach Bios

    Wondering what is typical for a compulsory coach's experience/age? There has been a good bit of turnover at our gym and one of the new coaches (not assistant coach) for two apparatuses of the lower level compulsory teams is 16 years old. We don't know why she's coaching instead of competing...

    Parents Ode to compulsory music

    So at our end of year program I got to hear what I hope is the last of this go round of compulsory music. And I know I’m in the minority but Level 5 might be favorite of the lot. :cool:

    Coaches New Compulsory routines

    Does anyone know when materials (videos and printed) will be available for the new compulsory routines? I’ve seen the posted workshop dates (August for Region 5) but was wondering if materials will be released sooner. I coach at a park district and our compulsory season begins in August.

    Compulsory levels

    Hi all, I just wondered whether anyone knew what was happening with the compulsory levels now? This year's didn't go ahead in most regions, so what happens to those girls? Do they need to take them next spring? But that's when they should have taken the next level...it's tricky with a system...
