    Women Controlled lunge landing in JO Optional levels

    I know that elite gymnasts must show a stick with both feet together at the end of their floor routine tumbling passes (unless they are doing some type of jump/dance out of the pass), but it looks like female college gymnasts can still use a controlled lunge at the end of their tumbling passes...

    Coaches New JO routines - specific skills

    Level 3 Beam - it says mount is "leg swing to cross sit." Does that mean it's like the current Level 5/6 mount? Not the current Level 4 mount? I hate the current Level 4 mount and would be elated if I no longer have to teach it. "Cross handstand with legs in split position" - pretty self...

    Women What percentage of gymnasts that go JO eventually make Level 10

    My daughter told me that her long-term goal was to get to Level 10. I hope that that means college, too, but she sets her own goals and she is only seven years old. Her coaches indicated pretty enthusiastically that they think she can get there. Then I thought of ChalkBucket and all of the...

    Women USAG JO Level 5 Vault Deduction for full spot over vault

    Just curious- is there a standard deduction, as in 2.0 or something like that, for a full spot over the vault table? I am talking about gymnast runs, hurdles, straight jumps and the coach assists with the handspring portion of the vault. Not so worried about scores, really, just curious if...

    Sorry for repeating this topic: implications of the proposed 2013 JO changes

    Ok, I am sorry to start another thread on this topic, but the change starting the 2013 competition year is confusing. My DD who just finished a reasonably strong level 5 year (high 8s for vault and bars, 9+ for beam and floor) is training for level 6. Of course, she has to get several skills...

    Alternate spots for Jo Nationals/Easterns/Westerns?

    If a competitor has to drop out of Nationals for some reason, how does their spot get filled? Does it automatically go to the next alternate in the region that the gymnast dropping out is from? Or does the spot go to the highest scoring alternate, regardless of region?

    Regions for JO

    Does anyone know how they decided on the Regions for women's JO, and if they ever re-evaluate them to better balance the numbers of gymnasts? Just looking at the Regions in the Western half of the US that held their champions this weekend, Regions 1 and 3 have more than twice the numbers of...

I do not have a copy of the JO Code of points I am trying to modify our routines to make them compatible with the US rules. I...

    Coaches Excel under JO jurisdiction

    I just read this weekend in Technique that the Women's Program Committee voted that Excel will be under JO jurisdiction, but they haven't determined all the details yet. I think it could be a good thing to create more cohesiveness around the country in Excel. It would create national standards...

    Men future stars and new JO program questions

    Hello. I have a few questions about future stars and the new JO program coming soon. First let me say that my son is 7 and is on the preteam level 3. He has been in gymnastics for a year and loves it. He is very strong and pretty flexible to. He almost has his forward and side splits. (i guess...

    Update on Move from PO to JO

    Hi Everyone, A couple of months ago I posted that DD, who competed PO Novice this year (first year) and swimming, decided she wanted to give up swimming and just do gym for next year. At the time, we had not had states yet and I had not talked to the coaches and I was wondering if that kind...

    Junior Olympic Games in Virginia

    I am really thinking about competing in Virginia Beach in August at the Jr Olympic Games. Can someone tell me what the difference is between competing as an intermediate optional and a level 8? Also, is there somewhere I can find out the requirements and skills that are needed to be put in to...

    Is moving from Prep Opt to JO possible?

    Hi, We have a dilemma on our hands. To keep a long story short, DD competed Prep Opt Novice her first year this year. She consistently scored well, winning her age group (9, but she just turned 10), and sometimes even having some of the best scores for all age groups. In addition to that...
