WAG Varisty vs. Club Gymnastics

[Mish]

That is your experience not actual fact. My/our experience is very different.

Im not disputing your experience but please state that it is your experience.

Our HS bars could use an upgrade. I would not post that all Varsity bars are in bad shape.

When you say “the HS equipment is xyz” you really can’t speak to all HS equipment, so clarify.

I never stated this as fact everywhere, I was answering a question and clearly had already established that it was our experience on Long Island. I obviously can't speak to other areas of the state or other states.
My 15 yo daughter was level 9 and has been on varsity gymnastics since 7th grade. We have been USAG-ing and high schooling for a long time. I am stating our experience.
Please don't continually look for controversy when there is none.

Agreed. In my experience, most club equipment I've been around is on par with the lower-level HS stuff. We have several clubs within about an hour radius that travel to our gym regularly in the summer to workout with us, and I've participated in a few conversations about the advantages of moving to HS-including equipment.. But, just because I've observed it in my corner of the world- doesn't mean I can or should assume its the same everywhere!
