    Congratulations to all the competitors at JO Nationals 2019. it was awesome witnessing some of the amazing gymnasts from around the country.

    WAG Too old for JO?

    Hi everyone! I'm new to the site. My 9 year old daughter started recreational gymnastics about 2 years ago. We've done one class a week and she has steadily moved up. She is now level 3/4 and is working toward joining her gym's Xcel team. Tryouts are in about a week and I have no doubt she will...

    MAG JO Nationals Live Stream?

    There isn't going to be a live stream for the Men's JO Nationals, right? I thought I heard rumblings of it earlier on in the season, but maybe it was just complaining or hoping. I realize the men's side isn't as crazily intense as the girls, but you figure the costs of sticking an Ipad or...

    WAG JO Nationals

    Congratulations to all the gymnasts who qualified for JO Nationals. Regardless of whether you came from a huge age group or a smaller group/region, it still takes a ton of hard work and dedication. Hopefully, the huge discrepancy is some of the age groups this year will cause USA Gymnastics to...

    WAG JO National Championships proposal.

    Has anyone else had a chance to read this yet? JO National Proposal. I can't decide if I am completely in favor yet, but I like a lot of the ideas presented, and some really good arguments are made. I'm looking forward to the discussion on this one! I think an overhaul would be nice.

    WAG Xcel bronze to JO 4?

    Sorry if this has been discussed already. I did a few searches but didn't find our situation or the posts were very old. DD was invited to join JO level 3 last year but chose to do Xcel bronze instead. She has been in gymnastics since she was 2 but really fell in love with it this season. She...

    MAG JO pommel horse question

    Level 10 question. A judge told our coach that the B handstand dismount counts as a C on pommel. We are surprised we were just told this. Is it true?

    WAG JO Optional Flip Book Question

    Hopefully a coach who has seen this book can help me..... My daughter wants to know what are ABCD etc. skills. There are a couple of websites that she has found, but we don't really know if those sites are accurate. The USAG Code of Points is rather expensive and way more information than she...

    Parents Moving from Xcel to JO and back to Xcel

    Just curious because this question came up at a recent meet...one team had gymnasts compete Xcel Diamond last season. They then competed Level 7 at a meet in December 2018 and back to Xcel Diamond at a meet held January 2019. Are there rules around mobility between Xcel and Level 7 within a...

    Parents Why do high level JO gymnastics?

    This is an honest and serious question for parents whose kid does not intend to or, for whatever reason, can't pursue Hopes or Elite: What is your "Why?" as a family? When you consider all that goes into it.. Some families have to make educational compromises to accommodate the gym...

    JO code

    So Quebec province is kind of switching to JO program. Kind of, because we're using the JO code and the Level 4 to 10 categories. Lower than that is the regional circuit (4 different levels R2 to R5, with the last one having some options the gymnasts can do to get to a 10.0 start value). I'm...

    WAG Superb JO Gyms

    I am looking for information on STRONG JO gyms. It doesn’t matter which state, at least not at this point. I’m beyond tired of DD being shafted for wanna-be elites simply because of her age (coaches acknowledge the talent and ability, but immediately follow it up with ‘but she’s too old). Do...

    WAG Moving from Xcel to JO

    looking for advise on how to help my daughter move from Xcel to JO. She’s never competed any other group. So far I’ve been told she has to stay in her last competitive level upon looking into a new gym for her. Why would that be? Can’t she start at a level 4 if she has the skills, which she...

    Parents Competing both Xcel and JO and uptraining

    Two thoughts/questions but they're somewhat related. We recently switched gyms, and I saw somethings during the process of finding a new gym that I was confused by. One gym mentioned girls competing both xcel silver and level 6 through out the year. Is that even possible and what would the...

    Parents Switching from Xcel to JO, how hard is it?

    Hi everyone...I have a question about making a transition from Xcel to JO. My DD is 9 and repeated Xcel gold this year after making a gym switch. She had a very successful season (scores went from mid 34s last season to mid 37s this season) and she has been invited to transition to compulsories...
