    Off Topic myusagym closed down (myusagym.com)

    Do mymeetscores, meetscoresonline, and scorecat get their data directly from meet organizers? I have a bit of experience with developing websites and this sounds like something I wouldn't mind looking into.

    Women instant video replay system

    Just curious, how is this working out? I'd lovr to build something Iike this and gift it to my gym! All of my teammates have been wanting something like this so it would be so cool if I was able to get it done. If it doesn't work out, it could still be a cool project/experiment (especially the...

    Coaches Coach and athlete interaction rules

    Are there any rules preventing a gymnast from let's say emailing a coach?

    Gymnasts Upskill ideas (Xcel Diamond/8/9)

    Vault: I'm assuming you're going to stick with half on half off. You'll start at a 9.6 Bars: You just need your cast angle (>45). Since you're working cast handstands and clear hip hands, you should be good to go. Beam: you need a series and a flight skill. I'm not sure if a dive roll counts...

    Injury State meet - sprained ankle

    Also wanted to mention: walking doesn't hurt, and there is very minimal swelling. I did some bars after I sprained it (no dismounts, kinda jumped off one foot for the kip and had more weight one one foot on the squat on because I didn't want to put extra pressure on the injured ankle)

    Injury State meet - sprained ankle

    Hey, So I know Chalkbucket is not a place for medical advice, but I'm just looking for some thoughts. I sprained my ankle today doing a roundoff on floor (was doing RO Layout). It hurt as bad as regular sprains do, I stayed off of it for about an hour, iced and did some PT. It hurts to point...

    Parents Finish Times (Late Workouts)

    At our gym, all level 4 and up, and gold and up finish at 8:30pm. Silvers, bronze, and pre-team finish at 7:30 or 8pm. Haven't seen any explicit research done but that's what works with everyone's school schedules I guess (we still have people come in later around 5pm - 5:30pm) just because of...

    Gymnasts Best way to deal with fear and hesitation?

    I'm a senior in HS now and this is going to be my last season and month of practice. I've had the same doubts as you because I want to stay healthy, and I'm very ankle sprain prone. But, the higher, stronger, faster you go, the better your skills are, and you have a lower chance of injury. For...

    Gymnasts Learning RO BT vs RO BHS BT

    Just to add on to raenndrops, you can absolutely progress with RO tumbling. A couple level 8s at my gym do fulls and 1.5s out of a roundoff and do doubles to mats in the pit. I personally also don't do BHS because of back issues, and a very similar situation to yours where I started late and...

    Gymnasts HS Senior - life after gymnastics

    @Coach Kate and @JBS Just wondering, did you/your daughter get recruited for track (like D1 or something) or just do "club" track (I'm not sure that's a thing but hopefully you get what I mean!) Also, really appreciate all the replies here!

    Gymnasts April Fools Day Prank Ideas

    Ooh that's a good idea. I'm personally very injury prone so honestly it would be very believable. I absolutely love pranks too. Last year April Fools fell during spring break (didn't have practice or school) so all my pranks were over text/online haha. Omg I'd love that! I wish someone would...

    Gymnasts HS Senior - life after gymnastics

    I'm going to be studying computer science! I already do a bit with internships and clubs, but could definitely spend more time on personal projects and my portfolio. As for hobbies, I have a few that I'll spend more time on, but can't really seem to find a new one I'd enjoy. I don't have the...

    Gymnasts HS Senior - life after gymnastics

    Haha funny you say that, I already have a list going. But I like the idea of taking steps towards them (since a lot of them aren't totally doable at the moment). Thank you!
