    Parents NGA Lvl 3 vs. 4

    Hello. My daughters gym recently switched to the new NGA program and they have placed her in lvl 3 as she doesn't have a kip yet. I'm wondering what skills are allowed in lvl 3. Can she go to high bar, back walkovers or front tucks allowed off beam, r.o. backhandsprings or front tucks on floor...

    MAG Which level? Or can a L8 be successful without twisting?

    So ds and coach are working on figuring out what level he'll compete this year. Anything from 7 to 9 is on the table at the moment. New skills are coming fast; he really took off this summer. Twisting is his sticking point. He can sometimes twist in back rotating flips but front rotation plus...

    WAG Not Allowed to Repeat Levels

    Why do certain gyms not allow a gymnast to repeat a level? I know of a gym that does not allow their gymnasts to repeat levels 5 or 6. If they can’t make it out of 5 or 6 within a year, they tell the girls they are moving them to Xcel. What is the possible reasoning behind this?

    Parents Moving up levels

    I’m sitting here in tears after my daughters coach slammed the office door in my face and told me to go back to my old club, after a question was raised.

    Parents Level 2

    I would like to get some insight on what other parents felt about their gymnast competing level 2... Please don't tell me it's a waste of time/money Our gym decided to have my gymnast compete level 2 because she was missing more than 1 level 3 skill and because she has never competed before...

    Parents Not mature enough for level

    Hi, I need advice from all the experienced parents. My daughter is 7 and is training xcel gold for next season. I don’t think she is mature enough to safely throw some of the gold skills such as front tucks, back tucks, and jumping to the high bar. Physically, she can do those things, but I...

    WAG Tsuk for level 6?

    So I was wondering if it would be possible to do any drills to get my tsuk onto mats higher so I can land on my feet? right now I can compete a front handspring vault and a half on which is basically a tsuk with no flipping and landing on the ground instead of a mat. Any tips?
