    Parents HOPES age rules

    I'm trying to understand the age rules for HOPES gymnasts. My daughter is going to be 11 prior to the HOPES Challenge this year, however she will be 12 before the end of this calendar year - so, will she compete with the 10-11 yr olds or the 12-13 year olds?

    Hi, I am from a state that is just starting Xcel. We are a new gym and added Xcel as are only form of competition and plan on keeping it that way. Most of the others gyms in the state have been around for a while and all have JO programs so Xcel is an add on for them. We only had a few clubs...

    WAG Competition rules

    I was informed that it is a new rule this year that the childs hair is not allowed to be able to reach around and touch the childs nose, so that when she is doing her routines her hair is not in her face and cannot obstruct her vision. My DD's hair is very fine and very hard to keep up, so I...

    WAG USAG rule for level placement

    What is the USAG rule for when a kid starts competing? If I have a second year level 8 that moves from our AAU & non sanctioned gym to a USA gym, is the athlete made to start in compulsories?

    Where are the rules?

    I had a reason to go look up the rules today, to make sure that a post I was writing would be allowed. But, I can't find them. The "Terms & Rules" link under "Help" just takes me back to the main page. I looked all through the "Must Read" section but every link I found there that was supposed to...

    Coaches Rules for Bar Chalking

    What rules do you have at your gym? We currently don't have any, but need some. The problem started this summer when we inherited kids from another gym who were used to chalkier bars. The optionals went back and forth between sanding and chalking the bars. We now have kids slipping and peeling...

    WAG Region 8 Xcel Rules

    For the past couple of years, Region 8 Xcel rules have had rules regarding who may or may not participate at each level of Xcel based on what they have competed in USAG compulsory. I know the rule is still in effect to score a 31 at L5 to be eligible to compete Gold or Platinum, but previously...

    WAG The New Xcel Rules

    I want to know if im the only one who thinks this way, but the new rules established by the USAG are just not good enough. I don't feel as if they grasp what the program is, and now i feel as if the new rules don't make it challenging enough for the students. I am not a huge fan of the JO...

    WAG Bars Rules (re: clearhips, stalders, and toe-ons)

    I'm looking at the women's USAG JO optionals rules, and I could use some clarification. On page 58, 5a-5d give details about how circling elements are credited and deducted depending on the angle at which they finish. Then 5e says any element that doesn't finish within 20 degrees of...

    New Xcel Rules (Don't know what to do!)

    So last year our whole Xcel team competed bronze (which is the new silver for region 5), and so now we would be moving to gold if we want to move up. I definitely do because I have had my kip for two years, have the handspring over the table vault, and have decent tumbling on floor, so I don't...

    WAG Leotard strap width rules

    We have tank leotards for our level 4 and Xcel teams. We had a judge at a meet recently comment that they didn't think the leotards were "appropriate", that the straps were not wide enough. I have always thought that as long as they weren't spsghetti straps, they don't violate the rules. But...
