[Tjr28]

Hi-I wanted the follow gymnastics more and I am wondering how do you stay current and educated in the sport? I want to be knowledgeable for my young gymnasts but also follow what is happening in college and other large competitions.

I would be interested in this too, and anything more general about sports nutrition and sports development for under 16s

As a parent I follow nothing as far as websites (except here). We watch college gymnastics. College scores are here…

Road to Nationals - NCAA Gymnastics Rankings

As a coach I run across good stuff from time to time as far as drills on Instagram… Facebook… YouTube. Again… I don’t really follow anything regularly.

Actually, a lot on what you have on this website - I love the parents questions and advise. I have been learning a lot from a Gymnastics facebook group too. Just random things I have never thought about or did not expect.

As a gymfan, the podcast Gymcastic talks about college and elite meets

In addition to here and the parent facebook groups, there is a reddit that I look at https://www.reddit.com/r/Gymnastics/

I think there are a lot of knowledgably fans there and often some good discussions but, imo, there is a lot of very critical/judgmental posters there too. So I personally would probably never post there. lol.

Some other websites I look at:

Balance Beam Situation

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama

balancebeamsituation.com

The Gymternet

thegymter.net

CollegeGymFans.com - CollegeGymFans.com

Since 2001, the internet's site for Collegiate Gymnastics. Women's, Men's, Scholarships, Recruiting, News and Information.

www.collegegymfans.com

College Gym News

I love the Gymcastic podcast as well as the Balance Beam Situation blog. I'm also part of a Facebook group called College Gymnastics Fans are Here, and that's great for all your NCAA gym news.

I listen to Gymcastic pretty regularly. For gymnast nutrition, I follow @the.gymnast.nutritionist on IG.
