age groups

So, does your state use the USAG age ranges for states and regionals, or do they break it down further? I know we talked about age groups earlier this season but in context of regular meets. I was talking wiht another member about the age ranges in her state/ region and ours and how different...

I was wondering for USAG what are the rules or where can I find the page about it regarding age catagories for competition? This year has been so wacked, one meet I compete in the 15+ group and the next they have 15-16 and 17+ even though there are the same amount of people and the same people...

This is my dd second year competing and every meet that she has competed in she has been in the wrong age group for awards, always placed in the age group a year to a year and a half older than her. We have always mentioned it to the coaches, but not made a big deal about it because we have...

Does anyone know what the age groups are now? They seemed a little different last night than last year so I am wonderign if they changed or if the meet just chose to do them differently.

I have noticed that it seems the older you are, the easier it is to win, essentially. I am a Level 7 with one teammate. She is 12 and I'm 14. I usually outscore her, but at a meet a recently she got a 9.1 on bars and I got an 8.8. Then, I got first and she didn't place at all. It occurred to me...

Is anyone going?

We just got back from Disney. It was a nice place to have a meet. The girls got to compete and then go play at all the parks. The girls compete AAU after their USAG season is over. It is something fun they do over the summer. This year the AAU Age Group National meet was held at the ESPN...

Just moving this topic out of another thread so we don't hijack the post this came from. For those who haven't read that. There was a discussion on camp and the fun of it. Then the discussion morphed a bit to talk about mixing age groups in the camp with young kids say 5 - 8 yo working with...

Well this doesn't really go on at our gym any more, but whenever I think back on this, it gets me really upset. The first year I came on the rec team at my gym, we split up into age groups, back then it was like 1 group with 9-12 year olds and another group with 13+ year olds. I didn't really...

I havent done club since I was 8 Ive been doing HS gymnastics but this summer I worked out with a team and now they want me to compete with them. I wanted to know what the age divisions usually are for level 7? Im 17 right now and im 18 in April. So like ages would I be competing against? thanks

My daughters competed in a meet over the weekend, and we were all very frustrated by the break-down of the age groups. They were broken down like this: Level 4: age 6-7 (16 gymnasts) age 8 (15 gymnasts) age 9-11 (29 gymnasts) age 12+ (3 gymnasts) Level 5: age 7-8 (11 gymnasts) age...

So, I was at the meet last Saturday with little Bog, just hanging out with the gym moms and chatting. I don't know them all really well as we have two training groups for their level. One of the Moms asked how old my DD was, I said 8. Then I asked how old the others were, she tols me one had...

I'm posting this again in this forum. I didn't know where to post this but I've been wondering....how do they determine the age group break outs at a meet? Do they go by the age the girls are at the time of the meet? I read somewhere that they determine the age group by the age they'll be at...
