    Parents New and Scared... 2 Boys in Gymnastics.... Can Someone Help Calm Me Down?

    First let me give you a little background - I basically know NOTHING about gymnastics. My parents never really put me in any extracurricular activity, and fitness was definitely not a priority in our family. Basically I spent most of my days after school watching TV. (I know, SAD) I have 2...

    MAG New here and confused about boys levels/progressions.

    My son started gymnastics on a whim, and we ended up at a pretty good gym, just by luck. its a new gym and a very small program with a good coach, but regarding stability and success over time, who knows? He is learning good technique, discipline, emphasis on very clean basics etc. One of the...

    MAG I love boys gymnastics.

    I have a dd level 7 and a ds moving to level 5. I love boys gymnastics. My ds is in a great program, he has a decent level of talent and has grown in his commitment to the sport. What I enjoy is the lack of stress I feel in his sport. It looks like he has all the time in the world to...

    MAG Scrapbooking for boys gymnastics

    Anyone have any good sources, or is it all just chance to find materials? Of course, like everything else, girls stuff is everywhere.... Also, is there any kind of digital form that allows you to type in scores and placements and then you can print it out with like a picture in the background...

    Parents New here with a boys gym/team question

    MAG Boys program is exploding

    :DIn a good way!!! My ds is only a level 4 but we have seen a huge increase in our boys program. We have added another coach and it's great to see the enthusiasm and talent growing on that side of our gym! I am lucky to have a boy and a girl in a gym with strong programs. Love boys gymnastics!!!

    MAG Gymnastics camps for boys

    We weren't planning to send our son to a gymnastics camp this year but recently learned that his coach will be out of the country for 2 weeks starting July 21st. There will be a coach there just not as good. Therefore we are thinking it might be a good time for our son to try one of the week...

    MAG Boys training in a small town

    Hi all! I just joined this forum, to try to find some answers for my son. My son just turned six years old. He has been taking gymnastics for three years. He honestly loves it and begs to go more. The problem lies in the fact that we live in a city where there isn't a boys program for...

    MAG Are the boys compulsory routines changing for the next season?

    I have heard a lot about the girls changing, but didn't hear anything about the boys changing, so I thought that they weren't. But now I hear they may be as well. So, are the boys changing too? Where do you get info about this? I know the stock answer will be "Trust your coach" which I do, but...

    Idle curiosity about training boys' vs. girls' tumbling

    As the parent of one of each, I've noticed how differently coaches at our gym train tumbling. My DD, now a L6, did not learn a standing BHS except incidentally until she was getting ready for L6 floor if I am remembering right. Certainly not on preteam (which is about L4 for us) and not while...

    MAG Boys levels 8-10

    I was just curious if someone could give me a little overview of the higher levels in the boys JO program and sort of the typical progression. Around here is seems typical for boys to do some skipping ahead and I've heard some not nice descriptions of level 8. So I guess I'm just wondering what...
