Do any of you have experience with gymnasts who were on team, decided to move back to rec, then back to team? Is this frowned upon in gyms?

Hi! One of the rec kids at our gym is travelling to Michigan, Genesse county and looking for a gym (Flint, Clio, around that area) that she could put her girl in for Level 3 recreational. June 30th until July 15th. Any gyms there that would take a kid for a couple weeks?

Hi I am setting up a little rec club in a community centre to operate only once or twice a week , most beginner kids 8 and under a few older ones up to 13. Class size up to 15.We are fortunate to have had some second hand equipment donated but i am struggling with a 'floor' .There are some...

How long are your rotations for rec? Particularly kids aged 10 and under. At my gym, they're 15 minutes for an hour class. However, if the class is 1.5 or 2 hours, they're 30 minutes. If I have really young kids, I find that they struggle to do the same thing for half an hour, so I try to...

Does anyone here run gymnastics out of a school gym where you have to set up and take down each time? I'm used to a gym where we warm up for 15 min and then go to each event for 15 min. But at the school, I feel like I should just do 2 (bars and floor, next week vault and beam, etc etc). It...

Hi there I'm hoping someone can help me out! I'm a fairly new coach and have been asked to create an "At Home Conditioning" sheet for my recreational class who do 1 hour a week. I'm an ex competitive gymnast so I'm unsure on what exercises and reps are appropriate for their abilities so...

Hi, Every Saturday I coach a intermediate rec class, but there is one girl in my class who should be in begginer. I've talked to her mom about it but she says that we should try for a few more weeks to see if she gets better. The main problem is she is scared of being upside down, and this...

Hi, everyone. We're new to gymnastics and I'm so confused and frustrated right now. I started my daughter in rec this June. I didn't know to have her skill level tested first so she started in the beginner class. Turns out, she's more at the intermediate level. She walked in knowing how to do a...

What kind of award/badge/progression charts does your gyms rec program use? Do you give out report cards? How often do you test or do you test at all?

Anyone have any experience with scoring differences? The routines are the same and the judges are same ones who are at USAG meets for whatever that is worth. DD's team is usag, but they participated in a state rec league meet. She did well, but just curious how that typically compares to USAG...

Hey all! I've been looking for more ways to make pommel/mushroom more fun for beginners in a recreational environment. These kids range from 5-7 years old and have been getting frustrated with the event (Just like any other boy ever). The most these kids can do at the moment is swing around a...

with young new beginners, do you have the same coach going round all the pieces with the same group, or have the coach staying with the same piece and the groups moving round.

Hi we are in Toronto, Canada. My dd who just turned 6 is new to gymnastics. She started in rec class in the summer, earned a bronze. they allowed her to do a rec class in the summer even tho she was just 5, cuz she was in her 6th yr. After the summer ended we were going to enroll her in a fall...

Ok so I have been working at my new gym since the start of the year and the rec program's are getting a little bit old eg. Every week we do a variation if swings on bars and monkey across the pit and fall in. Each week the stations change but even the head coach is running out of ideas. If you...

My son started gym a couple months ago and loves it! He is 9 and doing a rec class 1 hr. 2x a week. He is really strong but isn't consistent on staying tight. I know men's program is different fit the women, but am unsure how the levels differ. Is it too late to consider jo for him?

I was just wondering how the REC programs are run at most gyms. Does your gym have event coaching or does the same coach stay with one group. How are the girls split up? Is there certain curriculum for each "level" or group or do coaches come up with what is best for their group? And, how are...

I am struggling with finding fun cool down activities for my recreational class. It is four kids ages 4-7 (love my little classes). What are some fun, relatively quick ones to do at the end of an hour long class? P.S. I am halfway certified to being a real coach! Just a workbook and an 8hr...
