Congratulations to all the boys who competed at Future Stars National Championship on Friday! My son (12) and his two teammates (11 and 10) all qualified for Future Stars National Development team and the FS camp next summer!
The meet was well run, and although they were unable to hold the...
Can anyone out there help me with this future stars thing? Our coaches have mentioned it several times, but then told us that at 7, he shouldn't worry about it. Another gum across town is heavily involved in it. I think I understand what the program is/the commitment. Is the program worth the...
Our gym has never done future stars testing. My son has been practicing for the last year a half to get ready for this year. He is 8. I can't find out anything online about when/where/how testing takes place. His coach has not heard anything either. He said he will ask around at nationals...
I was trying to find some better info on the Future Stars program, and found this link Link Removed on the USAG site. It appears that it has not been updated since 2011, though. Does anyone know if there is a more recent update? (I would assume there probably is!)
One of my immediate questions...
My son’s coach just got the go ahead to start a Future Stars program and he wants my son to be one of the kids who does it. What are we looking at? Wanting to know what I can tell the kid so he can make an informed decision about doing it or not. He’s 8, summer birthday, I think he would be the...
Has anyone competed Future Stars? My son and 12 of his team mates just competed at Future Stars in hopes of qualifying for nationals. My son's coach thought he had a good chance of making nationals as a 12 year old...I was surprised because a 78 is a hard score to get. Well....he didn't get it...
I just heard from my sons coach, he just got back from regional camp, that my currently eight year old son (turns nine in September) is allowed to compete 10 year old futures stars, but is not able to qualify for nationals. Anyone else hear this? This was not the impression our coach got at...
DS is 8 and will be competing L5 this year. His gym is doing Future Stars for the first time this year. DS, although he was asked, did not want to do Future Stars as it would have meant an additional 3 hours of practice. He is currently already practicing 16 hours a week and while he can...
Hi, everyone. I'm curious if anyone out there has a link to the current flexibility routine for 11 YO Future Stars. DS has some inconsistent information and would like to be working on the right routine!
So DS is a 7 year old, very successful at level 5 & training level 6. Coach wants him to do Future Stars, which would require bigger time commitment. DS loves gym, but also loves other sports/activities. So in trying to prioritize, I am curious... For those who have been in this situation and...
I have a DS who is at the VERY beginning of his gymnastics journey. I have lately been hearing talk about Future Stars. Can someone explain the basics of this program to me?
THANKS!!!
Hello, tomorrow my son will be attending a future stars workshop for the first time. He's in the 8 year-old age group and was a L6 last season. I don't really know much about future stars, except what I have read on our region's website. The email I received said this would be a workshop, and...
So D is 12 and competing level 8 this season. I think we have a hc while we keep looking for an experienced one, but we are pretty happy with the situation.
My question is, how do I approach him about doing FS or TS (JE) this season? D really wants to do JE but at this point I am not sure it...
If your son participates in Future Stars:
1. When do your personal coaches find out and let you know the results of whether your athlete will participate in the second camp? Any details on this would be appreciated (especially if you are in region 7).
2. Do you split the coaches fees and the...
The post on how many hours got me thinking. I wonder how many of the top finishers in the future stars 10/11/12/13 actually home school and focus solely on gymnastics?
I know the a few kids who do homeschool and train 30 or more hours a week....8 years and up.
Just wondering if it is the norm.
My son (now age 7, competed in 6 and under this past year at level 4--training to compete at Level 5 this fall), is going to his first Future Stars Prep camp this summer. Is it realistic that he will be able to learn all or most of the skills by then? He's great at some stuff, still struggling a...
