    Men Optional EG requirements

    Thank you, I've read and understand the changes to Level 8 as I have a couple of those. Haven't had a kid in Level 9/10 for quite some time however haha.

    Men Optional EG requirements

    So I have not had to deal with this in a while as I have been re-building a program from compulsory. If I remember correctly, didn't optional levels have a difficulty requirement for Element Groups ( Level 8-A Level 9-B Level 10-C)? All I can find in the JO program is dismount requirement...

    Men Kaz

    I'm not sure where he is coming from with the Kaz. If you look at higher level gymnasts, the general trend is front handspring and Kaz skills. I train all my boys on Kaz first as it has a high start value tucked and has less fear issues versus the yurchenko entry.

    Coaches Getting the parents to understand...

    I usually explain to the entry level 4's parents at a mock meet.

I try to make them understand that the judge sees more...

    Coaches To Spot or Not- meets

    I would spot the skill. I've walked out on the floor for a level 5 gymnast who was unsure of his BHS during a competition. With that said though, the way I understand the Men's JO is if you spot, they also get the form deductions as well. If I'm wrong someone correct me though! So if it isn't...

    Coaches Science of Gymnastics, anyone read it?

    Have you read it dunno? I'm trying to figure out why it is so much more expensive for a hardcover...almost $100 more! Are there two versions of this book? Or is it really that expensive to pick up a hard cover?

    Coaches Question to the coaches

    Thanks for your input, I guess I should have specified these are guys. Anyway, We argue all the time about this, at least I have a little confidence that I know something of the sport haha. He also tells me all the time that one of our guys he sees as the next Johnathan Horton. When I tell...

    Coaches Question to the coaches

    I work underneath the Head Coach to my program. I have a question that I would like you guys to weigh in on. I constantly go back and forth with him about basics and foundations for our level 8's because I feel on every event but floor and vault they are WAY behind. He doesn't think they need...
