I don't know how others are feeling right now but I am just really frustrated and have been for a while with Simone and her crew. Don't get me wrong. I support Simone bowing out of team finals if she felt her mental/physical health was at risk. I certainly would not have wanted her to compete...
Has anyone seen these comments from Angela Andrews, who from what I understand is a judge, attacking Riley McCusker? Apparently Maggie Haney and several other judges have liked some of the nasty comments too.
Not that the dumpster fire that is USAG ever fails to surprise me with this kind of...
USAG announced they are partnering with FloSports. Last time I checked it was a $30/month subscription :( Hopefully there are other avenues to watch.

For those that have heard or been following the USAG handling of the abuse allegations on Azarian gymnastics, this is a document shared with me i was given permission to publicly share. After 30-40 victims came forward, USAG ruled over the holiday weekend that the suspended coaches were going...
Soooo, I just saw that USAG is planning for the "first combined USA Gymnastics Development Program National Championships"in Daytona Beach, Florida on May 11-16, 2021 ... for Women's Level 10 and Men's levels 8, 9 and 10 ..."more than 1500 athletes are expected to compete" ..besides the Haney...
On the topic of meet schedules, my daughter's gym is considering trying one NGA meet for higher level optionals. One reason is curiosity about how the NGA meet will go. Another is the possibility of qualifying for post-season for both NGA and USAG and having flexibility to go one route, the...
Everyone has probably read it by now,. Did anyone watch the webinar? For me very validating. Wish I had seen it sooner, like a few years sooner. Thoughts?

I was renewing my daughter's USAG membership and am being asked if she'd like a free college recruiting profile with CaptainU. I have never heard of this site. I'm not opposed to having her listed in a database but is this something new, or did I just not notice it in the past? Anyone know...
Sorry if this has already been discussed....but is there anyone out there as angry as I am to have to spend money on a USAG Card this year? This is one of the last organizations I would like to support, but here I am sending them my money on the remote chance my daughter will be able to complete...
Lack of response may be a better term. Has your gym asked you to renew your USAG membership yet? Do you feel like they've done a good job in addressing the complicated issues around holding meets in the different regions around the US? Obviously, this is an evolving situation, but I've been...
I'm shocked that there is NO guidance from our National Governing Body on this topic. There is nothing on the website at least, hopefully they are working on something. Isn't this part of their role? Texas has released requirements for gyms to open on May 18. Some of the "health protocols"...
Here's an interesting article. I guess I didn't know both Laurie Hernandez and Riley McCusker had submitted a complaint.

its Simple and I encourage everyone to start emailing blogging and calling on USAG to do the right thing and Postpone regionals nationwide until further notice . Currently some gyms are open while others have made the correct choice (alone if I might add) and closed to prevent families from...
First hand account of how Team USA has changed recently, seems like it's for the better, hopefully it has a trickle down effect to the youth levels. 4:50 she starts going over the differences.
