I noticed that HD gym is almost never a topic of conversation here. Do any of your kids participate?
My DD has a few years before she gets to that point, but I am curious about the pros and cons.
I know several girls who compete HS and then come back to club after the season is over to...
I have a gymnast who is graduating high school and would like to continue to compete on the JO track. She is a level 9 and going to a local college with no gymnastics team. Does anyone know the rules on this? We have only done adult AAU before.
We have three juniors this year that competed L9 last season. All three made regionals and two made easterns. All three were offered the opportunity by our HC to decide which level they want to compete. Of course the coach presented them with the pros and cons for each level. Gymnast A will...
I need help in deciding what type of grips to use for high bar. I'm 16 and I'm in highschool gymnastics. I've already decided that I'm going to most likely buy buckled grips, but I've narrowed my choices down to the US glove and reichel sport. However, I don't know the difference between the...
Sad to say I just completed my final season of competing with my club! I had an awesome four years competing but I'm starting high school next year and I don't want to do another year of xcel. I really want to do high school gym in the winter but I don't know if I would be able to make the team...
Hello,
My name is Coach Mike. I'm going to warn you that this post is probably going to be long, and for that I apologize. I wanted to get some insight/advice from other coaches. This is my first post here on this site, but not the first time me looking around for advice/information on other...
Okay so this might be a stretch, but I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who is a judge in the MAGA program (Midwest Amateur Gymnastics Association)? I am interested learning how to judge but I have no clue how to get into that. I am a high school coach and I think it would help...
Ok, so this is what I know (or think I know)...
Even though there are more DI gymnastics teams than at any other division, it is difficult to get a DI scholarship. Most of the girls who do are level 10's for 3-4 years (or more), qualify for nationals multiple years, etc.
There are very few DII...
So this is my second year as an assistant high school gymnastics coach. Last year we used space in a gym but because we were not getting enough practice time (which was causing poor performance and many injuries) and the gym owner would not budge on times, we are now stuck setting up and tearing...
Does anyone know the difference between high school gymnastics and USAG/JO? Is scoring Scoring and skill requirements pretty similar? Are the judges pretty much the same judges as in USAG meets? I believe HS gymnasts are suppose to compete their current JO level. And I was told they are...
Why don't some states even accept gymnastics as a high school sport, where as some states make a big deal out of it? Also, how hard would it be to get gymnastics recognized as a sport.
DD will be 5 in a few months. She is currently on what her gym calls preteam, but this is the equivalent of developmental classes at most gyms. Her gym has level 2/3 compete some meets, so level 2/3 at her gym is considered to be team.
I chose her current gym largely because her friend was...
Ive searched the web and i just cant find the answer. How many girls are needed for a high school gymnastics team? Can anyone link me to the actual rules for HS gymnastics? Thanks in advance.
Hey so I am thinking about maybe doing high school gymnastics this year. I actually know all the requirements you need for each event, how many superiors, etc. and the bonuses you need. But I have no idea how to go about actually constructing those routines with the requirements. It seems...
I used to do club gymnastics, but i quit because it was simply too much for my schedule. Now i do highschool gymnastics, and was wondering if an exceptional highschool gymnast could get some sort of scholarship for college gymnastics? and if so, I have heard of college gymnasts competing elite...
Hi everybody, let me get right down to it. I've been doing high school gymnastics for two years now and regrettably this is my last year. During these two years I've improved a great deal. However I still don't think I'm quite at college level yet. So my basic question is, now what? I don't...
Although I still post a fair amount on here, I haven't really posted much about my own daughter since she decided to retire from Club Gymnastics. She IS in her third year of competing for her high school during the winter season, and I am happy she has decided to continue doing that.
She's...
okay well this is my first year of gymnastics so i'm a little lost. i understand on every event you need 4 medium skills, 3 superior, 1 high superior, and you can add bonus superior to bump up your score. but i have a few questions for beam. i believe a dive cartwheel is a superior and counts as...
Hi. I'm a tenth grader who is looking in to high school gymnastics as a third sport and to serve as cross-training for soccer and fastpitch softball (im a pitcher and I'm hoping this will strengthen my muscles). I also used to take gymnastics when I was in third grade. I was a level three if I...
