ages

I was looking at the link for the changes for the 2013 + routines, I see that there are also age changes. Its saying age 6 for L3. Is this correct? I have a girl who is turning 5 mext month and easily working L4 skills, even though I know she can only compete up to L3 at age 5. So does this mean...

a few questions about ages of gymnasts! so i'm looking for some comments on what you think about these questions..1.) What do you think is a good age for a female gymnast to start? (with a goal of college gymnastics) 2.) What do you think is a good age for a male gymnast to start? (with a goal...

I guess this would fit in the Adult Gymnastics thread but I figured I'd post here that way if someone else knows the answer they can answer. :D Question: Can 18 year olds (Or over, I mean I turn 18 in August, so I'll just be 18) compete AAU? Is that possible? I've heard some of the other...

I'm not intending this to be a debate thread, but merely an informational one. My daughter is competing this year as a level 3. Our states are in March, her birthday is April 2005. So, she is 5 and competes as a 5 year old for the entire season. She and another young lady are the only two...

Lots of people have been asking about how old their dd has to be to compete various levels and does their age on the day of the meet count or their age on the day of the state meet count for this. So I thought I would copy across the info from USAG to make things clear. There are minimum ages...

I'm a parent of a level 4 gymnast and in looking around I'm trying to get a feel for the ages and workout schedules of other boys to see how the future looks. My son just turned 7 and is working out 4 hours a week. We are doing local meets with other branches of our gym for level 4 and then...

Just found this on Fox. The Chinese Olympic team was of legal age: FOXNews.com - IOC: Chinese Gymnasts Were Old Enough to Compete in Beijing - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News

I just found out that dd will compete in an all ages session.:( I knew there was a possiblity it would be all ages but I was hoping it would atleast be divided by older/younger for her first competition of the season. I wanted to see her compete with girls her own age for once. And I wanted...

Did anyone else notice during all the gymnastics competitions that it listed various gymnasts ages under 16?? I was under the impression that you had to be 16 to compete. More than a few times it listed medal winners from all countries as 14 and 15. I was watching the NBC HD broadcast from...

So, apparently, the Romanians have lied about the ages of some of their gymnasts as well. The article is old, but it still relates to the chinese allegations. BBC News | EUROPE | Romanian gymnasts faked age to compete
