So I was talking with the team supervisor at our gym today about potential paths for my gymnast (5yrs old as of yesterday in developmental program aka pre-preteam). We're considering dropping from two down to one hour of gym a week. Anyways she says after one more preteam level, the...

Does anyone know if the Blackjack Meet is a Capital Cup format? What about JO Nationals? Just wondering as there was talk at our gym that the Blackjack was a good meet to experience Capital Cup format before Nationals. Trying to verify if that is true. Thanks!

The USAG meeting minutes published had the proposed changes of increasing L9 competitors from 6 to 7 in each age group and changing L10 to 12 age groups to replace NIT. It said it was pending based on funding. The 2014 R&P still has the old numbers and format. Does anyone know if this means...

Should I do JO or Xcel? I am a 15 year old gymnast equivalent to JO level 4. But I do not like doing the same routine as everyone else. I would rather make up my own. But, I am scared of the necessary skills for JO optionals. I also don't want the hours I need to commit for JO. But I like the...

My daughter is 6 years old, only been doing gymnastics for 2 years and currently training for Level 2 comp season in the JO program. She learns very fast, and was very successful competing the new Level 1 for 2013-2014 season, with first All-around at every comp including the State...

I'm pretty new to this whole gymnastics scene, so I'm hoping to gain some generalities regarding my daughter's trajectory within the sport. I know as parents, we all want to believe our kids are exceptional (and they are of course), but I guess I'm trying to figure out if mine is exceptional at...

My province is switching to the JO system next competition as opposed to CPP. My current coach is pretty clueless about the requirements, but thinks that I would compete either level 7 or 8 since I was going to compete P4 this coming winter. What are the requirements for these two levels, and...

My daughter is very interested in training the elite route and doesn't really care about JO. Right now she is training both, and it is hard for me to understand the benefit of training both at the same time. She will be competing in the spring and learning JO routines. Would it be beneficial...

I just saw that the meeting minutes are on the USAG site. As mentioned earlier on another thread, They have added 4 age divisions to L10 Championships and there will no longer be a NIT. It does state that it is pending funding. They also voted to increase the L9 from top 6 to top 7 in each...

My DD loves Gymnastics and would like to do college gymnastics someday. Our gym is pushing excel program and is doing very little JO over the past year. I see many gyms are doing this. My question is is their a bad or good path to college? Does it matter if she goes JO or excel ? I have done...

Dd was in Xcel as of last season and will now be on the JO side of the house. I really didn't know what Xcel was and kinda had to learn along the way (we came from R5 and dd's old gym doesn't do Xcel). She competed Silver this season. And I found out Wednesday that she'll be scoring out of 4...

Hiya- So, Im confused about the difference between these two groups. I see the New L4/5 says its for parents AND gymnasts and that JO Compulsory is just parents. Aside from that, how do I differentiate the two, please? Thanks!

Just wondering - Do they come up with an overall Region Winner for JO Nationals? I see that Region 5 won 4 of the 8 age groups, Region 7 won 3, and Region 1 won 1, but I didn't see an overall winner. It also looks like R5 is in great shape for the future as they won 4 of the 5 youngest age groups.

Does anyone know where they're posted? I've looked on the USAG website and meetscoresonline.com, but meetscoresonline still says "awaiting scores."

I've done a search and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Some of the girls from our gym are competing at the JO LV 10 nationals this weekend, and I noticed that the top scoring girls will be named to the national team. How is that team different from the USAG elite national team? Do they...
