    WAG AAU Platinum vs USAG Platinum

    Hey! Can you help me choose between AAU and USAG platinum? I don't know what I should consider in deciding between the two. If it matters, I'm older than the average gymnast in these levels.

    Coaches AAU vs NGA (compared to USAG)

    Hey all - I'm an owner of a gym who is looking at signing up for "formal" meets for the first time. I'd like to avoid USAG (mainly for cost reasons) but I've heard AAU and NGA are both fairly common in my neck of the woods (basically the Twin Cities, MN). I've coached meets before (Xcel) but...

    Parents Shift to AAU gymnastics

    Has anyone’s gym/region/local area had a shift from USAG to AAU memberships for their meets/gyms? Our gym has always done both because the AAU season extends beyond the USAG season and their national meet is usually someplace fun and our gym likes that AAU memberships are inexpensive and offer...

    Hello Everyone! AAU Xcel Silver Mom

    Ella - 9 y.o. Silver Xcel My daughter started gymnastics rec classes in March 2018. In June 2018 they had a fun meet and then asked my daughter to try out for their team.

    WAG AAU Ladies program

    I’m a little confused about the Ladies program. I am in Xcel Platinum and my teammate and I (both 18, if that matters) were both placed in a ladies age group at AAU State. We were the only two in it, so my first thought was maybe there weren’t any other gymnasts within 24 mo. of us, so we...

    Parents Upper Level AAU?

    Hello. My 7yr old DD just finished level 1 at a (mostly) AAU gym. She actually did quite well and the gym wants her in level 3 next season (assuming summer training goes as expected). Our gym is small and not one of the big names in the area. They do very well overall in the AAU world...

    WAG AAU vs USAG

    WAG AAU optionals - need to score out of compulsory for USAG optionals:

    Just a curiosity question. I "think" I'm right, but I'd like to hear from someone who knows. Do I have it right that to do USAG optionals from AAU, they need to score out of USAG compulsories? Last meet, there was a team that previous scores showed levels of 7A and 8A. Then last month L4...

    WAG AAU meet for USAG mobility score?

    Our compulsory teams compete USAG in the fall and AAU in the spring. Due to coach changes last fall, our L4/5 had a really rough fall season, with very few even qualifying for states (AA 32). Things have improved and my DDs rocked their last USAG meets but several teammates have not been...

    WAG AAU?

    Our gym apparently does both USAG and AAU seasons. I am well aware of how USAG works it is very clearly laid out as far as skills and difficulty needed in the routines for each level. However, I am having quite a hard time coming up with information on what AAU is and how it works. Our Gym...

    Parents AAU Age Minimum

    Hi! Our gym has an AAU team and USAG team. They generally start kids on the AAU team first and they are talking about moving our daughter to the AAU group. Is there a minimum age for competing AAU L2 or L3? I know there are minimums for USAG, but I haven't been able to find age requirements...

    Coaches AAU vs USAG

    Is there anyone that is familiar with the AAU program. I am in Florida, and our kids are currently doing well in competitions for the most part. However, there are lots of gyms moving to the AAU program. I was considering moving my compulsories to the AAU program and then just having a...

    Parents AAU vs. USAG - What's the Difference???

    Our gym competes only AAU at the compulsory levels and then offers the opportunity to go USAG at the optional level for those who want/are able to go that route. Most of our large, very "successful" optional gymnasts come up "in-house" through our compulsory levels. Recently we've had several...

    Parents aau for first year?

    My daughter has been training level 3 usag this summer. we recently found out that our gym is no longer going to be competing usag and might do aau for our littler ones. My daughter is 5 and wouldn't be able to compete usag until the end of the season so coach thinks this is a great way to get...

    WAG AAU Nationals in Florida

    Hey guys. I am so upset. :/ This is the first year our head coach is letting us go to nationals in FLORIDA and I can't go. :/ How expensive is it to go to nationals? My team and our our in Kansas. I have always wanted to go, and I just wish we could afford it. :/ Ugh. Sorry I just needed to vent...

    WAG Anyone know about AAU 3 bars routine? squat on?

    I'm confused. My 8 yo DD is finishing up her season competing as AAU3. (next year the gym is swapping to all USAG.) At all of the competitions all of the teams have had girls on bar do a squat on before their dismount. There is one team that none of the girls are doing the squat on though...
