I was level 9, 2012 of February. A day after temple university meet. Placed 6th. I has 2 fractures in my ankle on impact of the springboard. Coach started making me work pommels non stop. Then I was 13. All these injuries started because I am growing. So... With my ankle injury, I worked pommel...
We are going to be spending some time in Ohio due to family reasons. I need a gym where both my ds and dd can train- at least conditioning/strength. Gyms that will be within an hour from us that I have found are: (and I know nothing about)

I'm currently training on 4 events Floor, Rings, Vault, And High Bar. I'm looking to add Pommel Horse and Parallel Bars, so that i can become an All-Around gymnast. My coach tells me that im not ready to add those events,but I think I am. I'm not trying to go against his wishes but we have a...
Is there anywhere I could find a full chart of skills for all events showing what their values are? As in, something that lists all the skills in a certain event, and shows its value as A, B, C, etc.
I've tried searching google for something like this but I've come up empty. Any help would be...
At the meet my daughter attended yesterday, the boy's area was adjacent to our area and we could watch a lot of the competition as it was going on. We watched the end of an L5 and then the warm up and beginning of an L9/L10 (I believe).
It was SO cool and I was surprised at how big the teams...
Sooo, I hope I don't get any type of hate for posting this but...
I feel like there's this general idea that men can't be artistic or graceful, that's pretty obvious given the fact that there's no music or dance in FX for MAG.
What I want to know is if there is any male gymnast that actually...
Let's see if we can get together a list of great links to some of the articles that you guys are reading out there. This thread is for USA women's & men's gymnastics news.

There isn't a mens team near me, and since I'm going to FlipFest again in 2 weeks, I'd like to know what I should be working on or towards. I've read the compulsory level 7 routines, but I'm curious as to what skills are usually learned at higher levels. Thanks. :)
P.S I don't even know what...
Hi everyone.
I was sort of pushed into the MAG head coach position at our club. Problem is that I have never really been told what the job really entails.
I have sort of come to figure out a lot on my own over the last year, but thought I would ask on here what is expected of bigger clubs...
Hi . My 14yr old son is a L7 MAG competitor and was diagnoised in Dec 2011 with Osteochondritis in the elbow. He did 6 weeks of no use and then was allowed to put a little weight on it. He has been told that he can now start a slow transition into using his arm but no handstands. The doctor said...
Hi all,
Sorry, this is a copied post from the coaching forum, but I only had one reply on there, and it didnt really clarify if it was down to the second knuckle or not.
Will try to get a few pics today to put up here for you to have a look.
Problem is...........
I have 2 male gymnasts who...
So, I know this is one amongst a number of front layout threads but I still need help. I just did a bit of searching through the forum and came across a few interesting discussions but not sure they really cover my viewpoint.
So I'm a MAG coach here in NZ, and got two level 3 boys moving up to...
Hello! I thought I would introduce myself here since I have a boy in gymnastics and this is mostly where I would be posting. My son started gymnastics at age 6 by accident and even gave up soccer for it (after I had just paid for a year of soccer!). But I am glad he did and he is just obessed...
