program

We are a small gym and we only do a few in house meets per season. I am looking for something to track scores, do placements, handle tie breakers. I can't spend a fortune, in fact free would be excellent. Is there an inexpensive/free app or program I can get do do this? TIA

Hi all. I'm new to this group. We live in Alaska and our only gym recently converted to Xcel only, partly because the gyms we compete with have also gone this route. My middle school daughter was really hoping to do gymnastics in college (not necessarily a scholarship, but that would be nice...

I’m a little confused about the Ladies program. I am in Xcel Platinum and my teammate and I (both 18, if that matters) were both placed in a ladies age group at AAU State. We were the only two in it, so my first thought was maybe there weren’t any other gymnasts within 24 mo. of us, so we...

My daughter has been competing for 2 yrs. one as Silver and the other as Gold. What are the expectations with moving to JO? requires skills? Average time practicing in gym? Etc

Hi! So I've been coaching preschool gymnastics for about 7 years and the program at my gym has changed quite a bit. Before, for 3-4 year olds we used to do three seperate circuit. It was so that there were less kids with each coach. One was more focused on bar/hanging skills, one on...

This is a variation on a million other questions about pre-team selection and questions about gym changes, so forgive me. My daughter is not yet in kindergarten and is in advanced rec classes and at the point where she is frustrated and wants more. I wasn’t a gymnast, but grew up in the Midwest...

we are new to Texas. Where we lived previously my daughter was on the excel bronze team and was moved up to excel silver prior to us moving (had about two months training on the silver level). The gym we started at here in Texas didn’t have the excel program so after her evaluation they put...

So this is our first year in excel. We did level one last year but our gym is just strictly going to excel for now. So since you can have more options on your routines is it better to let's say do a ROBH but it not be perfect or do a simpler skill and be perfect? Which would typically give you a...

Northern Hills Gymnastics in Sturgis, SD will be a brand new 12,000 sq. ft. air conditioned gym and business scheduled to open in early 2019! We are looking for a head coach and program manager who wants to take charge and build their own recreational (boys and girls) and competitive women’s...

Just a musing here.... Sometimes when a member posts about looking at other gyms, those offering advice say something along the lines of "make sure you check meetscores to see if their upper optionals are HOME GROWN." The implication, as I read it, is that a program that gets many of its upper...

Article I'm Referencing: https://gymnasticsville.com/2018/01/29/olympian-sean-townsend-speaks-usa-gymnastics-corruption/ Sean Townsend is 100% Accurate - I can say that from my own experiences. Nepotism and intimidation rules the Men's Side of the Sport. Maybe I should contact this guy and tell...

It might seem unfair that a potential USAG decertification could affect MAG as well as WAG, but in the big picture of what is healthy for athletes, it may be warranted. It is a reality that should be considered as the calls for USAG decertification will only increase in the coming weeks as...

Just found this nice document previewing the compulsory skills for the 2021-2029 cycle. Thought some folks here might like seeing it. https://usagym.org/PDFs/Women/MemberUpdates/2021_29_compelements_preview.pdf Also, USAG is recruiting for choreographers to develop the new routines. Here's...

For those with JE boys competing at Nationals, there is a very important Age Group Competition Update #3 on the USAG website. Bottom Line Up Front: No stick bonuses for easy dismounts and graduated bonuses for harder bonuses. It appears that all levels (8,9,10) are affected based on the...

Our gym is starting a separate TOPS program its twice a week an hour each time. I think it would be good for DD she really excels at strength stuff but I am hoping that this change and the up in hours (which I know will happen in June) wont be too much. Fingers crossed! I am sure we can...

I just saw that Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique is looking for two program mangers. https://www.facebook.com/CDNgymnastics/posts/1390621877665705

Currently, our gym only offers compulsories and lower level optionals. We are a "brand new to competing" program so our girls just haven't worked their way up to the higher levels yet. A lot of our girls are also what most gyms would consider older or too old to begin competing. We are...

I posted this in the TOPs/HOPES social group, but I figured I'd post it here too, because I feel I can get a lot of input from coaches and other parents. Even if you are just a parent who only knows a couple details about the TOPs program at your gym, the knowledge is helpful! This is my first...
