    usag bronze/silver/gold

    Hi everyone, I am new to chalk bucket and was so happy to find a place to interact with other gym parents. I have a question about the usag levels. My daughter just finished level 4 AAU last season as state AA champ. We recently changed gyms and now she is in a USA prep silver level, which is an...

    YMCA vs USAG??

    As I stated previously my daughter competes in the YMCA league in Maine. What is the differance between YMCA and USAG? I believe we do the same routines. Is there an advantage competing in USAG?

    New compulsory music for USAG L1-6 with video walk through.

    Link Removed While I like some of the new themes in the L5 and L6, I still find it a bit choppy to me. I do like the L6 more but perhaps I'm so used to the old music ( I like the L6 music and can deal with the L5 music grudgingly ) I don't like some of the pauses and I wouldn't want to teach...

    Coaches Episode 2: I hate USAG girls compulsory vaults

    Back when I posted my thread about how I hate hollow casts, Rick McCharles posted about my post on his blog. A heated discussion followed in the comments section, in which I briefly touched on similar issues I have with the progression used by USAG to teach a front handspring vault. So I'm going...

    Parents STILL pondering switching from USAIGC to USAG

    So, we're looking at doing level 5 USAG next yr OR another yr in USAIGC bronze . . specializing on floor and beam silver. Sort of at a lost . . . everyone (parents) is telling me I need to switch to USAG and that another yr in USAIGC is a waste of time. BUT how do you go from BHS on beam to...

    Optional USAG Changes for 09-13

    So I am curious if anyone knows the rationale for taking "C" skills out of Level 8 except for dance elements and a few bar skills. I really have no opinion either way I was curious. My DD is bummed she has some "C" skills she has been working on and will not be able to do them at level 8. I...

    USAG or USAIGC

    I've been told . . . USAIGC is a College Bound Competitive Program. I've also been told that a gymnast that wants to compete in college needs USAG experience. I thought I'd try this Forum - thoughts? opinions? TIA

    Bars at USAG Level 7

    So this weekend DD finally did all the skills needed for a decent bar routine. For her that means a lot. The routine needs form clean up work but all elements were there. Or so we thought. Judges docked her .5 from start value for missing a SR cast above 45 degrees. What?? I read the updated...

    New USAG Mom w/ Questions

    Hello all! My daughter was just recently moved up from level 4 to USAG level 4 and only competed her first USAG sanctioned meet last week. I didn't even know there was a difference in the two levels. But after one meet I see there are many significant differences. Most things I've sorted out...

    Usag pro member background check

    I just did mine, and it requires your address(es) for the past 7 years. I know where I lived during that time, but I may have had the exact dates wrong. So I provided the details and the times (in years) but if they aren't *exact* will I have to pay for the process over again? I'm talking...

    USAG Age Requirements

    Does anybody know the exact USAG requirements regarding minimum ages of gymnasts competing in invitational meets? I was under the impression that the gymnast just needed to have reached the appropriate birthday (ie. 7th birthday to compete level 5) by the meet date. However, another mom told...

    Coaches USAG L2-L4 Music selections

    USAG registration

    Can anyone tell me if there is a deadline for gymnasts to register with USAG membership in order to compete for the compulsary season? Can they register at any time and jump into competitions late?

    Coaches This is why I hate USAG boys vaults

    In level 4-6 on vault, boys are judged on their run and their arm circle, among other things. THey are deducted if their hands cross the center line of their bodies on the run, and they are deducted if they don't arm circle. Leszek Blanik would lose an entire point before he even reached the...

    Coaches USAG Age classifications?

    Can someone please explain to me how the USAG determines a gymnasts age for competition? I was told that it is whatever age they will be on December 31st. For example, if a girl turns 9 in November, she is considered 9 for all meets that year, even if the meets are before her actual birthday...
