    WAG Filling the stands at national JO meets

    We just returned from Missoula montana. The small town atmosphere was great - it seemed the entire town knew about the event and the local news covered it. One thing I think they should have done was just make the meet free for all the locals. This would have helped fill the (very large)...

    MAG JE JO different this year?

    So we had States yesterday and I was surprised to see that the JO and JE guys were separate for awards. Is there a new policy on this? Is it going to be the same way at Regionals too this year and is the qualifying process for Nationals going to be separate this year? Anyone know?

    MAG Men's Elite stream vs. JO?

    Could someone help me understand how the "elite" program works with JO in men's gymnastics? This comes from a comment I heard from someone on the girls side of our gym about our boys program basically stating that any of our boys team results in JO level 10 weren't really all that impressive...

    Parents JO to T&T

    Just curious if any gymnasts have gone from competing JO to T&T? What level would they start in or would they have to start at L1? I don't know anything about the T&T program.

    WAG Took DD out of JO preteam

    Our gym chooses kids prior to their 6th birthday for JO route. My younger daughter was chosen for her upper body strength and lack of fear. She is very lean and has defined muscles in her arms without doing anything. She climbed a net two stories to the top of the gym which is how she gained the...

    WAG What exactly does "Junior Olympic" mean anyway?

    I've had people ask me why its called that and I haven't been able to even make an educated guess. Can anyone tell me why its called that? Are there other sports that have a JO classification, too?

    Question about the JO program in Ontario and "teams"

    A thread in the WAG section got me thinking. All competitions in the USA have the team portion, and i was wondering if anyone knows if that is going to be incorporated into the qualifiers this year? I know the old Invitational competitions sometimes had them, but now that there will be a level...

    Hi! I am currently deciding which gym I would like to train at. One would put me into the JO track while the other would put me on the Xcel track. I am currently 15.

    Another JO question

    It was explained to us that there is no longer going to be ‘regular’ national novice. So right now we have Provincial, National Novice, High Performance National Novice, National Open and High Performance Junior and Senior. Supposedly it’s going to be JO or High Performance Novice, Junior or...

    WAG JO age requirements?

    This is totally just for curiosity. Are the age minimums for JO determined by USAG or by each state. ie, what age can compete level 4. Is it the same in every state?
