    Gymnasts Many Injuries

    Use a compression sock or brace when you practice, especially tumbling. Ankles are sensitive parts, best to protect them. The brace keeps it from being injured further. Also I would ice after practice. Maybe ask your PT for advice too

    Women life after gym

    Gymnasts Trying to find my level

    Parents NJ Gyms with high level USAG programs

    North Stars Gymnastics Academy produced lots of elites, NCAA, has lot of level 10s, - they have a homeschool program too. I would avoid MG elite/Gymnastics University in Monmouth. https://www.northstarsgymnastics.com/ - met head coach of North Stars once, seemed super nice.

    Parents Level 6 - current gym has no track record of college recruits -NY- not NYC

    I think the coach is back, although I think during her ban she was there too, according to some news reports....I heard reports of overtraining, training on injuries, that might be how they have such high level. Please remember, health and safety always comes first. This is what Haney said...
