I'm sure there are countless threads on this topic, but I am on my phone and haven't figured out how to navigate this app very well yet....
Is there a final skills list available for the changes for compulsories for 2013? If not, when does it come out? And are the new routines and skills just...
Hi All,
Our oldest daughter moved last January from artistic gymnastics to Tumbling and trampoline, so I'm more familiar with artistic than tumbling. She is moving to Sub Advanced on most (all?) events this year in USTA.
My question is with USAG and mobility. She wouldn't be able to just...
Earlier today, I sent the following e-mail to Connie Malone.
If anybody else feels the same way, I encourage you to speak up and contact USAG to share your thoughts.
EDIT: Apparently this deduction no longer applies! However, I still wish USAG would do more to encourage coaches to stand...
I was looking at one of the links JBS posted (Link Removed) in his thread about optional burnout and it looks like the greatest percentage of gymnasts quit between levels 5 and 6 (only 51.5% of gymnasts continue on to level 6). No other level is greater (although the highest levels is large...
Just curious- is there a standard deduction, as in 2.0 or something like that, for a full spot over the vault table? I am talking about gymnast runs, hurdles, straight jumps and the coach assists with the handspring portion of the vault. Not so worried about scores, really, just curious if...
Hi, I am moving clubs but my parents want me to make sure I am going to the best one available in my area. I live in Minnesota, and I know there is a list of all the clubs in Minnesota that are USAG members, but does anyone know if there is a list of any sort that ranks the top gyms in each...
USA Gymnastics T&T Jr. Olympic Nationals start tomorrow (training Wednesday, competition starts Thursday) in Long Beach, CA. Good luck to all athletes who will be competing!
Hi
My daughter is trying out at gyms for a spot on their USAG level 4 team.
I am learning about contract and booster club commitments.
In your experience, how long are typical contracts for team?
Is it for the 6 months during competition season, with no contract for the other 6 months?
Do...
sorry it took so long. here are the current numbers. i can't remember the coach from Australia who was asking, but here you go. the numbers on left are current and the numbers on right are from 2009.

As elections for USAG State Chairs are held. Talk round the gym(coaches) focused on the affiliation or ownership of gyms by the State Chair. They appear to favor NO ownership and refer to an increase in bias of judging to favor the gymnast and gym(s) owned by the State Chair. The opinion that...
I know next to nothing about the sport in general, to be honest. I usually just ask DD was a skill is called, or whatever, but I figure I should try to learn a little bit about... stuff.
So is there some sort of manual maybe, or a "Gymnastics for Dumb Parents" book? At this point, I don't even...
Hi all. I am hoping that someone out there can help. Dds gym has been hosting meets and every time we go through adding up the times for blocked warm ups lol. I would like to create a chart so as have it ready to go each meet. Does anyone have one? If not could someone tell me the times for...
My daughter is 9 and competed level 4 USAG this year. This was her first introduction to competitive gymnastics and she loved it. Her gym didn't participate in many meets - only two - and they didn't bring the girls to sectionals or states even though they all would have qualified for...

Last week, a friend of mine let me know a local gym was looking for coaches and knew that I wasn't currently coaching anywhere. I wasn't sure at first if I wanted to because I already teach middle school full-time, and am working on my master's program (online program woohoo!), but I went and...
I have the opportunity to start coaching at a YMCA gym. I know the routines are the same as USAG, but I've always thought Y gymnastics was of a lower quality. That the girls get moved up before they're ready, don't have to have all their skills to compete, are sloppy, workout fewer hours, and...
