    Men ratio of girls program to boys program

    Spin off from another thread. I am wondering what is the "normal" ratio of number of girls team (ish - could include team track, TOPS, etc) to boys team members around the country. I know that in any successful gym the recreational program will be the largest and the place a gym makes the...

    Parents ? about Boys gymnastics progression

    So I know that "mens" gymnastics peaks a bit later, but when do boys start training/competing? My son is 5 (April birthday) and loves gymnastics (we did basketball camp last week and he was doing cartwheels on the side lines) and wants to start doing twice a week (and recognizes that his...

    Men Best boys gymnastics clubs in the country?

    Hello all, My son first started Gymnastics at the age of 8. However, he wasn't at a great gym that didn't push him at all and decided to quit gymnastics - finishing on the BSAP levels. After five years away from gymnastics, at the age of 15, he has recently decided that he would LOVE to get...

    Parents This whole start value thing for optional boys . . .

    OK, I'll preface this with the statement that I don't know for sure that DS is going to be a L8 next season, but his coach seems pretty committed to having a decent sized L8 team and told one of the moms that he could create routines with all A skills if necessary. I have looked at the rules...

    Men Boys level 7 or 8?

    After successfully competing level 6 as a 10 year old, is it more beneficial to move to level 7 or level 8? I was told 7 was more challenging, as gymnast MUST compete specific skills and can do many bonuses to more immolate an optional routine ...while in level 8, gymnasts could design their...

    Men Pre-Pubescent Boys and Muscle Building

    I'm confused about something and hoping someone can help me sort it out. I remember reading something in the past about how boys shouldn't try to build up their muscles until they've reached puberty. I can't find anything about that again, but my dad mentioned it the other day too, so it's on...

    Men late puberty for boys

    My eldest had a bad encounter with an errant ball at soccer practice and now (briefly -- whew!) has his arm in a cast. In the course of diagnosing the injury, an Xray was taken, and the orthopedist told DH that DS's growth plates are still wide open. He's over 16, but his plates look like those...

    Men do boys ever do two vaults?

    For girls they do two and are scored in the better of the two. Is there a level when the boys start doing two or is it only two if you mess up and then you take a deduction?

    Men Boys Gymnastics More Laid Back Overall

    I "browse" the other forums occasionally, and i get the impression that overall, boys' gymnastics is more laid-back than girls' gymnastics. I don't see a lot of "boy gymnast" parents worrying so much about whether their son will do elite, etc. I don't really hear of very many boys dropping out...

    Men Boys Competition Attire

    We have our first ever boys meet coming up. Just curious how it works with the boys having to wear pants for some events and shorts for others. Do the boys just change from pants to shorts on the competition floor? Also, are they required to wear socks with the pants? This will be a first for...

    Men When do boys start hating pommel horse?

    DD is in an I-hate-beam moment. I told her that just about every girl who's made it to L8 or beyond has had at least one moment when she wished that all the balance beams in the world could be collected in one spot, chopped up into bits, and set on fire. What is the equivalent for boys and...
