    Recommendations for supplementing school

    Hi there, my DDs highschool (in California) just decided to go fully online. As they are not experts in this, they are allowing kids to take classes through other institutions. As so many here have done online classes, programs, and homeschool alternatives, I thought there might be some good...

    Parents Anybody trying gym school?

    Our gym posted this as something for the gymnasts to do, did anyone else hear about it or is doing it? Not sure if it is legit or not, hoping that someone on chalkbucket could vouch for it. https://www.youmakeitloud.com/onlinegymschool

    WAG High School Gymnastics

    Anyone out there who has a high school team gymnast? My DD is considering trying out for her HS team next year. They use a different type of classification for skills (superior; high superior, etc.) and neither my daughter or I can't find any "cheat sheets" on what it all means. Just when I...

    MAG High School Nationals?

    Has anyone heard of this before? D has a friend competing at them this weekend. We do not have high school gymnastics, but a coach put together a team. I am just curious what this is.....

    WAG Award money for school talent show and NCAA eligibility

    Hi all, My DD is thinking of entering the school talent show doing a gymnastics routine. The prizes are cash-- $200 for first, $100 for second... Would this conflict with NCAA eligibility? Thanks!

    Off Topic College/Post High School Plans

    I'm a senior this year, and I was wondering if anyone else/ your DD/DS is going through the college process as well! I know there's not a whole lot of gymnasts on here, but maybe someone can offer some words of wisdom in these stressful application crunch times! I've applied early action to 1...

    WAG School work

    So school is starting again soon (or for some it has already started). I'll have a demanding schedule next year with 16 hours of outside activities. I'm going into 11th grade, so the results are getting more important in that they count towards graduation. I know a lot of the kids are high...

    WAG Elite Gymnast & High School Diver

    We see a lot of talk here about all of the sacrifices gymnasts make at all levels, but especially those on the elite/college bound track that it was fun to see a story about a senior national team member who is also giving high school diving a try simultaneously. Pretty cool of her gymnastics...

    WAG Houston School schedule

    The Houston Chronicle recently posted an article stating that Houston schools would be switching to a standard schedule next school year. The end time for middle school and up is going to be 3:50 pm. Even with a PE waiver, that means that a high school kid wouldn’t get out until 2:50 PM. If...

    MAG What do you do for school to help with the crazy gymnastics schedule?

    I'm trying to figure out school options for my son. He currently attends a public school but takes 2 classes online. He trains in the mornings on Tuesday and Thursday so his 2 morning classes on those days are online courses. He struggles to keep up with it all. The online classes move to...

    Parents improved grades in school with gym change?

    I'm curious if anyone else has seen this. DD (10) was always the last in her JO group to pick up skills -every season was stressful (to me and I think to her) as a result of this. She never had her skills in time, never had skills polished in time, and there was always talk of possibly moving...

    WAG Taking an "F" for middle school PE

    Hi everyone! I am newish here and this is my first post. My DD was a level 7 gymnast last year. She trains around 20 hours/week. She is in 6th grade. She skips PE with the understanding of school administrators even though she was not given "formal" permission to do so. She just got her...

    WAG Gymnastics Hours for Team during the school year

    Question for those whose girls are on a Gymnastics team: our team recently changed the hours in the gym to M,W,F 4pm-8pm with no notice to the parents. Do you think this is a normal or good schedule? Do you have any issues with school and kids being tired ? Its a nice schedule for those who like...

    Parents Creating a Middle School Team?

    Has anyone out there ever been a part of creating a middle school team? DD thinks she may be done with club gym, but would like to compete in high school... which is another year away. Our middle school doesn't currently have a team, but I think there could be enough interest to get one...

    WAG High school competitors with optional practices???

    Hi, Does anyone have experience with a compulsory and optional program that generally filter right into a high school program? This is a new world for me, prior to being a competitive director for this gym, high school and JO did not ever meet ends. Prior to now, this club's program stopped at...

    Parents Experience designing a modified school schedule?

    Wondering if anyone would have experience working with their school districts or boards to establish modified school schedules for high performance athletes at the elementary school level? Our Board doesn't have an existing model at all, although neighboring jurisdictions have some high school...

    WAG Competing club/JO past high school

    so we don't have any college gymnastics etc in Australia so fascinated by the whole idea. Recent threads about d3 schools had me thinking - can girls who have moved onto college not just keep competing for a normal club at whatever level they are at? I can understand the scholarship thing but...

    WAG Travel Meets and High School

    I've always had utmost respect for the kids managing gym and high school but that has just been upped A LOT after seeing my DD get ready for her first travel meet while in high school. She goes to a public school (but rigorous and nationally ranked). Good Grief! It has been a week. She's...

    Parents Houston, public school, and gymnastics

    I am looking for gymnastics programs in the greater Houston area that support traditional schooling for upper level optionals and pre-elite kids. So far, I have found one, Discover. Do you know of any others?
