    WAG Xcel program question

    Our gym has never promoted this program. Quite the opposite actually. It has been looked at as a program for cast offs. The kids the coaches are tired of dealing with whether it be fear issues or injuries. I would like to hear experiences from parents, former or current kids in the program and...

    Quick question for those of you familiar with the Aspire program. I understand they've changed age eligibility from Dec 31 of competitive year to Jan 1 of the year in which the competition is held.

    WAG Does your child's/gym's conditionning program include the use of weights?

Currently, my child's gym uses ankle and wrist weights, no free weights, etc, in their conditioning program. My friend's child in a neighboring state uses free weights, but no ankle or wrist weights...no...

    The family is moving to Finland (Helsinki) in a few years and was wondering if anyone here has ever done gymnastics in Finland. If so, would it be difficult to try out and make a competitive team? My daughter is on a pre-team right now and hoping to compete level 3 in the fall. Thanks for...

    Question about the Aspire Program

    Just doing a bit of reading on the Aspire Program and was wondering if there was a level equivalent regarding the skills (i.e. level 5 or 6)? I know the description says that it's an introductory program for higher level provincial and HP but I'm not even sure what equates to higher level...

    Coaches How to start an Xcel program?

    My daughter goes to a noncompetitive gym. Her coach has talked about her possibly competing at Xcel level. I used to coach gymnastics years ago, so much has changed. What would be the steps for a new gym to start competing Xcel? Thanks.

    Qc provincial program

    For those interested, I just received the temporary version of the Qc provincial program for 2015-2016. It's the french version, but I can help with translation! ;) . There are some changes made so it's closer to the JO program used in the rest of the country. For example, bars requirements are...

    Question about the JO program in Ontario and "teams"

    A thread in the WAG section got me thinking.

I know the old Invitational competitions sometimes had them, but now that there will be a level...

    WAG Long post- CGM and kicking out of program?

    I don't know if there are any parents from my gym that have accounts on here so I'll try to keep this as anonymous and broad as possible (crossing fingers). So...this situation started a few months ago. I coach pre-team and compulsory levels with another coach (we split events) and one day back...

    WAG Recommend a stretching program?

    DD has expressed an interest in increasing her flexibility this summer. I'm going to be honest and say I don't know how much she will keep this new "resolution" but since flexibility is definitely her weakness, I'm going to try to support it as much as I can. She has asked one of her coaches...
