    WAG New NCAA rules on "unofficial visits"

    Looks like NCAA trying to get a handle on early gymnast recruiting, verbal offers etc. They recently passed ruling that prevents programs from arranging "unofficial visits" for gymnasts until Jr. year. https://web3.ncaa.org/lsdbi/search/proposalView?id=100174 "In women's gymnastics, an...

    WAG Elite: the new "shaposh-like" rules

    Dd and I were having a discussion last night and this new rule came up. So if I understand it right, the new rule states that you must do a skill out of the shaposhy skills now where up until now most people simply kipped out of them. If you Kip out of the skill now, you will take a .5 hit for...

    WAG JO to x cel mobility rules?

    If my daughter has competed level 3 can she compete silver in 2017 or does she have to go to gold? She is very far from ready for gold and may have to wait out a season if this is indeed the rule. If this is the case is there any way to petition around it?

    Parents Rules against orthodontia?

    Does anyone know if there are any regulations for orthodontic appliances in a gymnasts mouth during a meet? My daughter is getting a lip bumper put in (goes on the bottom of her mouth to keep her from sucking on her lip). It's also sometimes used to go in front of bottom braces for protection...

    Parents Rules about gymnastics camps?

    Does your gym have rules about camps? I signed up my L3 for IGC next summer and it will be her first gym camp. I sent a note to her coach asking for her thoughts and she said it'd be overwhelming for her and they don't want the girls doing camps when they get to optionals (she's 8). We've...

    Coaches What would you want to change about the rules?

    If you had the option to rewrite the rules/CoP yourself, what would you change? What do you wish the rules did differently? Here are mine (with reference to the USAG women's program): 1) Less emphasis on straight/hollow position in casts on compulsory bars. I've written at length about this...

    WAG FIG floor music rule

    FIG rules say you can't have "Disney" music for your routine. Marvel is owned by Disney - does the music from The Avengers, Iron Man etc. count? I couldn't find anything, except an Avengers theme cut for floor music use on YouTube and someone else saying they'd used it without issue.

    What is your gyms rules on injuries? Are you allowed to practice while injured? Do you have to stay out of the gym completely? Do you have to get doctor notes allowing a gymnast to be taped/wear a brace and to return to gym? When do you require a doctor visit? How much pain do they let the girls...

    WAG Rules for Sponsors

    Does your gym allow you to have a business sponsor your gymnast? What are the rules on this sort of thing? I tried to do a search on this and couldn't find anything but I may have not searched using the right words so forgive me if this has been discussed before.

    WAG What is your gym's "rule" on advancing to Level 6/Optionals?

    So I've been observing that there are many different approaches by various gyms as to moving their girls through compulsory and on to optionals. Some gyms seem to favor skipping Level 5, some Level 6. At our gym the HC (from what I've observed/heard) wants the girls to have a layout on floor...

    T&T Double mini rules question

    Parents NC Xcel State Team- Anyone real familiar w/ qualification rules?

    This is a spin-off of a thread in the Xcel group, but since there is more traffic here, thought I'd pose the question here, too. Does anyone have a good understanding of who makes State Team in North Carolina Xcel? (Bronze & Silver specifically, if that matters.) If so, I have questions :)...

    WAG New rule re Leo's and music

    I heard today that there is some new rule in regards to leos's matching music. Hear say not from a coach. Has anyone heard of such a thing? It is supposed to start in May just before Canadian Nationals, but I just can't wrap my head around it. Both are so subjective I can't imagine it could...

    I have an athlete that has a conflict with an upcoming meet. She is only a Level 2, and the meet starts at 8 am. She has to leave at 11:00 am. I am going to put her first up on our last event and hope we can get her through on time. However, if not, she will have to leave before the last...

    T&T Silly silly rules....

    I'm injured and I have a regional comp on Sunday. I twisted my knee and the physio thinks that I have partially torn my MCL ligament. I'm not entirely convinced because I partially tore a ligament in my other knee last year and it was considerably more painful than this. Anyway, it is still...
