    WAG Question Regarding Competing at Levels

    I'm sure this has been discussed in some way shape or form, but I am looking to see whether a gymnast who has "scored" out of Level 4 as part of skipping levels to get to Level 7 can compete the upcoming Level 4 season prior to starting their Level 7 competition and has also "scored" out of...

    WAG Competing with a dislocated wrist

    I want to share a cool story - so my teammate dislocated her wrist. She was out for the whole competition season, but she competed on floor and beam. She did a RO back tuck with a one-handed RO, and a front tuck or ariel (I can't remember.) On beam, she did a one handed cartwheel and a free...

    Parents competing?

    can someone please explain to me how competitions work? My son is only 4 1/2 but coaches say he is doing well and he wants to compete one day (wish I could share how well he did from today). I've brought it up briefly with his gym and they inform me 1) he is to young so don't worry and 2) we...

    Simone, Aly and Gabby officially competing for AA

    USA gymnastics officially announce this morning that Aly and Gabby (and Simone of course!) will be competing to qualify to AA finals. I can't say I'm happy, but also not surprised... I've been on team Laurie for months now. Anyway hope Aly gets her shot at redemption and Laurie sticks around for...

    WAG WWYD DD competing alone

    We were just informed that My DD is the only Level 3 that is ready to be moved up to 4. The coaches all voted that she is ready but that means she may be competing alone next fall. It is still subject to change but I am not sure what to do as that will not be fun for her. Do I make her repeat 3...

    Good luck everyone competing championships this weekend!

    The novice hp girls killed it again! I do have a question though, why does bts say novice is 11-13, did that change? I always thought it was 10-12?

    Parents Competing to Compete

    Is this really a thing? Is it common for girls at compulsory and low optional levels to have to compete within theit gym I order to be allowed to attend meets? This is a rumor that seems to make its way through some of our team mom's about this time every year. They worry about how can our...

    WAG Accurate answers on competing in college gymnastics

    I have read so many conflicting versions of information regarding college gym from many different sources and I am utterly confused. Whether it is from this board, articles elsewhere, coaches, etc. My guess is that there is no one answer, but here is my question. At what point is it no longer...

    WAG Competing in Practice Leotard???

    Hi everyone, So YDD has been on pre-team for the past year. Originally, the plan was for her to move up to level 3 in June, but our gym went through a major head coach switch and our new HC decided that nobody in the pre-team group that was originally supposed to move up was ready to...

    WAG Competing at different levels?

    WAG Competing With What Level

    In my area, xcel bronze generally competes with the level 2 and 3 girls. What level does xcel silver generally compete with, or is it a seperate session? I'm just wondering, mainly due to the vault setup.

    Parents any other non-US citizens living/competing in US? Question for you?

    Anything you have had to do differently with respect to USAG membership? Send a note to the gymnastics federation of your home country, etc? Do you have to do this each year? I sent one last year, but I'm not sure if I should this year as well? Finding it tough to find info about this!

    Parents Catching up by competing level 9 skills in level 8?

    My 13 yr. old DD decided she wanted to try for a D1 scholarship after competing her first year in L7 this past spring. Her education is more important than gymnastics so while she wants to excel at both, she will be fine if she doesn't hit her gymnastics goal. She knows all of her L8 skills and...

    Parents Level 3 competing kip instead of glide

    My dd is a level 3 gymnast and all season her coach has had her compete with the kip instead of the glide. All of the other girls on the team just do the glide. Is there a benefit to doing the kip? Do they get extra points? Her scores have been ok, but at one meet my dd asked the coach if she...

    WAG competing with a cast

    I am a level 9 and mid September fractured my scaphoid in my wrist. I have been in a cast for 15 weeks and I go back to the doctor tomorrow. he keeps telling me I will get it off the next appointments to every appointment so I am not sure when I will truly get it off. I'm praying for tomorrow...

    MAG Competing Level 5 -- what to expect

    My little guy will be competing in his first level 5 competition soon, age 7. He is a bit of a perfectionist (perhaps that's one of the thing that makes him good at gymnastics.) He's worried that he doesn't have one of the necessary elements perfectly (on one apparatus), and also is unable to...

    WAG Rationale behind competing level 2

    Can someone explain why some gyms compete their JO level 2 gymnasts and others do not? What are the gym's possible motivations? And what are the implications for the gymnast - both pro and con? When we were put into a pre-team class, the coordinator was sure to mention that they DO compete at...
