    MAG Future Stars?

    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...

    MAG Future Stars questions... newbie here

    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...

    MAG Future Stars Info?

    I was trying to find some better info on the Future Stars program, and found this link https://usagym.org/pages/men/pages/fs_routines.html 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...

    MAG Regional Future Stars

    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...

    MAG Future Stars Question

    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...

    Parents When to start future stars?

    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!

    MAG Question re Future Stars and future in general ;)

    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...

    MAG Tech Sequences/Future Stars

    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...

    MAG Questions for Future Stars participants

    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...

    MAG How many future stars boys homeschool?

    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.

    MAG Future Stars Questions

    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...
