school

Okay so this might be a stretch, but I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who is a judge in the MAGA program (Midwest Amateur Gymnastics Association)? I am interested learning how to judge but I have no clue how to get into that. I am a high school coach and I think it would help...

For those with kids on team, do you feel like your kiddo has trouble fitting in at school? Two of my kids are gymnasts on team. This year I feel like they dislike school a lot and don't have friends like they used to have there. It makes sense--most of the kids are on basketball teams together...

Hi. My first ever post. DD is 7 and doing level 5 this year. Coaches have asked us if we would be willing next year for Level 4 to train during school hours one morning or afternoon a week in addition to the 5 other sessions she's does during the week. I'm quite reluctant but I was wondering if...

Ok, so this is what I know (or think I know)... Even though there are more DI gymnastics teams than at any other division, it is difficult to get a DI scholarship. Most of the girls who do are level 10's for 3-4 years (or more), qualify for nationals multiple years, etc. There are very few DII...

So this is my second year as an assistant high school gymnastics coach. Last year we used space in a gym but because we were not getting enough practice time (which was causing poor performance and many injuries) and the gym owner would not budge on times, we are now stuck setting up and tearing...

Reading some posts recently about college gymnastics it got me wondering. Do we in the UK have any University gymnastics opportunities ? I know P&F would not be interested for a few years yet, but I remember the sports clubs being great at Uni and so inclusive, I went sailing and skiing and it...

Does anyone know the difference between high school gymnastics and USAG/JO? Is scoring Scoring and skill requirements pretty similar? Are the judges pretty much the same judges as in USAG meets? I believe HS gymnasts are suppose to compete their current JO level. And I was told they are...

I am just curious about what other parents opinions are on this. :) Our gym only does one meet that is a 3-day meet and has the "potential" of having our sessions scheduled on a Friday. The rest are all 2-day meets that seem to be more low-key. That being said, we miss out on some good meets...

Just curious, as I know I'll have to ask the head teacher but just wondering. And doing my research as usual :lol: DD's new sport is likely to involve more away meets. She has a meet coming up where she really needs the Friday off school as competition training is on the Friday afternoon...

Hi there! Does anyone have any advice/experience asking their teacher/school for an adjusted schedule? My DD (second grade) has a fantastic opportunity to up-train with a small group of promising peers and a great coach at the gym one afternoon a week. As this is a cross-level group, the only...

We are starting the process of researching private schools for our kids to go to for middle school. (long story on why we are swapping from public to private for middle school; but it is just something that works for our family.) I was just looking at the website for one of the schools and saw...

My daughter will be 11 in September and will be competing level 9 this season . I just found out she's suppose to train 4hours x4 days a week and 5 hours on Saturday totaling 20 hours a week. She has been doing that over the summer but she will be starting a new middle school in the fall . How...

We're new on this ride, both with team (he's level 4 practices 3 days a week for 2 hours each) and official school (he starts kindergarten in a week and a half). Any advice for juggling both successfully? Fortunately his practice is 415-615 so we have time for dinner and homework (bus arrives...

My DD is a new level 4 gymnast in club and is trying out for her school team. The problem I have is how much practice should we do and how do we divide it up? Both my club and her school are sticklers for missing practice. Does anybody have any experience with this? Also I have heard that if she...

Has anyone did early out or half day in a PUBLIC school in Illinois? I am wanting to do this with my child and I am coming up against resistance, not even allowing for early no matter the time, not even 5 min! I am supposed to talk to someone "higher up" on Monday but would love to hear from...

Hey guys! Ok, so its getting to the point where school is a total struggle. Its not that I have trouble with any of the subjects, its the fact that I have so much homework and can't get to bed a decent time anymore. Does anybody else have this problem? I wanted to do homeschooling, but my mom is...

Hi, My daughter is in year 3 and is currently doing 12 hours a week training. her gym is really pleased with her and want her to take an afternoon out of school for training in addition to this. However, at present the governors are not authorising it, despite the fact that schools are...

Does anyone have access to video of the usgf compulsory routines from like 1990? If you do, would you be willing to post it somewhere? I'm looking for the really old 5,6,&7 compulsories to show my girls during class. Was wanting them to see how different bars used to be. And the handstand press...

We are meeting with my dd's school next week to see if they might allow dd to leave early 3+ days a week. They do not offer this now, although the school athletic teams do leave for soccer or volleyball, etc. I need advice on what to ask for during this meeting. How much do I share about our...

Do any of you have kids in year-round school? If so, how does your gym handle the summer schedule? Dd is starting year-round school the end of July and the coaches said it would be no big deal to do morning schedule until then and switch back to evening in August. I think most parents are fine...
