    I was reading on the usa gymnastics web site that for the elite compulsary routines that there is a .5 deduction for straddling up on cast handstands and also for straddling up on front giants. Why don't they want to see this. I have seen elites like Bridget Sloan do this. And of course this...

    USAG Membership

    I feel like an idiot having to ask this question, but if I don't, it will go unanswered so I guess I'll take that risk. I am not a USAG member, nor am I safety certified. While I know these certifications/memberships are somewhat easy to come by, especially considering the regulations in other...

    Minimum ages to compete USAG levels

    Lots of people have been asking about how old their dd has to be to compete various levels and does their age on the day of the meet count or their age on the day of the state meet count for this. So I thought I would copy across the info from USAG to make things clear. There are minimum ages...
