My kid's gym has traditionally been an extremely strong JO/DP only program with the stated goal of getting girls to level 10 by freshman year and then on to a college team. They've been really successful at this and my child is most definitely still on this path. She is a 6th grade level 8 who...
I hate to sound really ignorant, but we are kind of new in the sense that my daughter still at a lower level. She has these big dreams that someday she wants to be on the national team. When I spoke to her Coach, she said she should know better than that. They only go up to level 10.

Can anyone recommend a supplementary conditioning program for a 7 & 10 year old both training 6 hours a week in WAG team.
Currently they have conditioning set by the club, but after 3 months it hasn’t changed much and now boredom has started to creep in……
Thank you in advance
Thought I would ask here before I started the program at the gym. The program I ran at a previous gym we just did shadowing, because we were a fairly small gym, but this facility is much larger. I would like to implement a program that is even better!

Hello! I am the Recreational Gymnastics Director at our Gymnastics facility. I was thinking about creating a coach's incentive program. It would be a program where the coaches would earn points towards something for going above and beyond, for following policies, for making gymnastics fun and...
This is a split from another conversation to help people (parents primarily... I guess) understand the difficulties of running a high level (Level 10+ / Hopes / Elite) gymnastics team. This team would be one that can consistently put athletes at Level 10 Nationals and understand the Hopes /...
We have had this on the forum before somewhere... but I figured now was a good time to bring it back up as we have had some threads talking about pricing. Here are a couple posts from USA Gymnastics back in the day...

Over the years on ChalkBucket and in gymnastics in general I have noticed that what is ideal to one person / family is not at all ideal for another.
What is your ideal competitive program?
What are the most important things for you and your athlete / family?

So my little man has been doing gym for a good 4 years. He’s 8 this year and only now about to do his first comp which is just floor and vault.
The boys squad only has two and they are both the same age. We have no one to look up to or ask for info regarding comps etc
So I was just wondering...
I have twin girls in JO program level 3 at a local gym. Coaching was split based on level, levels 1-4 were done by one coach and 5-6 were done but another coach. The 5-6 coach left and they have not found a replacement. The owner held a meeting for the JO 1-4 parents where they stated the 1-4...

Experienced Coaches -
If you had the freedom to start a WAGprogram from scratch (gym has a not strong at all pre-k program) - where would you start.
To make it more interesting, let’s say you have a strong coaching background in power tumbling, but weren’t all that familiar with coaching bars...
What does everyone think of the new compulsory program? I'll add my opinion on it when I have a bit more time... overall... many positive points. The link to the program is below...

as My girls stay socially distanced I was wondering besides the conditioning list our coaches give them, are there good online videos they could watch to keep them interested? Conditioning list can become quite monotonous. And a little motivation and good coaching online would probably save them...
