I guess I am trying to learn from experience. Our last gym was not up front about team or expectations until we tried out and said she was too old but never offered any other opportunities (nor did I inquire but had no clue what all gymnastics meant until I began looking what team and levels...
My preteam gymnast is going to an open tryout for Xcel bronze at a different gym then she currently attends. This tryout consists of her attending the 3 hr Xcel bronze class and I am full of anxiety!
She loves gymnastics, she has most of the Xcel skills if I'm not mistaken (except for backhip...
Hello, I am currently coaching a team of Xcel golds, and I am hoping someone can help clarify possibilities of flight skills on floor. One of my girls used to be kind of iffy with back tumbling, but (despite being consistent for months), it's the week of a meet and she is panicking, and has...
My daughter just moved from JO level 7/8 to XCEL Diamond. She is working on bar skills and I am wondering where they fit to the COP. I have looked at the sheets, but since I don't know the individual value of each skill, I am wondering if I can just list them here:

I just tried to switch over to the new SafeSport carrier (for NGB US Sailing) and found that we volunteers are now obligated to indemnify SafeSport for undefined mis-use of the materials.
Each of us needs to understand the difference between release/waiver (good) and indemnify/hold-harmless...

Hi,
My daughter is a level 6 and in her beam routine she has a double back walkover series and and a separate back handspring. My question is sometimes she pauses between the 2 back walkovers. To get a 10 SV does she need both the series and the back handspring or just 1 or the other? The coach...
I’m a coach for USAIGC and am having a hard time figuring out what level skills the girls can do in each level.
For Copper 1 & 2 they aren’t allowed to do any B skills
But what about for Bronze? Can they do B skills or is it strictly just A until they get to Diamond and above.
I’m asking...

Hello
Can I know the required skills to be a gymnastics coach?

I was wondering if someone could explain the tumbling requirements for level 8 when only 2 tumbling passes are done. Specifically pertaining to composition deductions. I have read about composition deductions occurring if only 2 tumbling passes are done unless both passes have directly...
My DD has had some tumbling issues (not her area of strength). Her new gym is playing around with her floor passes. They had been working hard on her front layout but apparently it just wasn’t going well. They now changed it to this (she used to do 3 passes at old gym but new gym does not to...
Hi! I’m a level 6 gymnast who wants some advice. I inflamed my growth plate and was in a cast for 3 weeks but I got it off yesterday. I can’t do any tumbling or using my arm until 6 weeks of physical therapy. My first meet is about a week or two after I am allowed to use my elbow in the gym. At...
Can some one in the know help me with a level 9 bars question?
My daughter and her bestie were just told that they need two release moves in level 9, one from high to low and one from low to high. They assumed a squat on job to high bar was all they needed instead of a low to high release type...

Hi, I'm trying to find a guidebook of requirements for the various JOGA levels. My daughter is currently a level 4. I've gone to the JOGA website but the link which has the list of requirements is password protected. I think this is very strange since my other daughter competes in USAG and...
