I'm having a hard time figuring out how girls qualify for the National Team as Senior or Junior Elites. I had assumed it was the top 10 or something like that (with ties included). My skills with search engines are failing me though, because I haven't been able to find an answer and simply...
Please join us this week in writing letters to USAG in regards to the following. Every Email counts and absolutely will be noticed so this is your chance to make a difference. The 5 week gap next year effects every athlete nationwide. The proposed location effects all the families...
is anyone else being told that USAG will no longer allow clubs to renew gymnast’s membership and that the parents have to. If so does anyone know why the change?
Most jobs where you work directly with children require fingerprint clearance. Has USAG considered adding this as part of safesport? It would prevent a gym from unknowingly (or knowingly) employing a pedophile such as happened in this case...
Hello,
I've been thinking and thinking about making a report of physical misconduct, verbal/emotional abuse, bullying, and harassment on the USAG website for my dd's former gym owner and another coach who works there. Has anyone else made a report on it yet? I'm thinking of doing it anonymously...
Has your gym discussed the immediate future of USAG with you? Our gym has always competed under USAG in Northern California– and our gym owner is super worried that USAG is going to fold (shortly) under the pressure of the recent issues/lawsuits, etc. Is this a worry that is coming up at your...
The opinion in this post seems to be right on:

The national team has suspended training for tonight and there is no word on whether or not they will train tomorrow. Sounds like the devo camp that is supposed to happen next week may not happen either.....
Hi, My YG is currently in pre-team and was invited to Level 2 for next year. She has all the skills, working on polishing.
I would like to switch her to IGC, because she is very interested in dance, and I think it fits her personality better. (I also have an older daughter going to level 4, so...
So, I have a friend that goes to another gym. Supposedly that gym owner is out telling parents that USAG is going to be dissolving soon. He is saying that this new USAG... not sure who/what it will be called will first be absorbing all the mens gymnast first and that by next year the girls...
Hey everyone - this might sound odd, but in today's competitive culture - is my daughter starting "late" by being 8 years old (turns 9 in October) and starting at Level 2? I am new to this and just got a strange vibe from some Level 2 moms yesterday about how their kids are 7 and younger. I...
I understand what NCAA Championships is, and the regionals process that you qualify through, but can someone explain what USAG Collegiate Championships is and how teams qualify? Can Division I and Division II teams compete at either/both? What about Division III?
Help me understand how this would all work. Someone is working on setting up an alternative organization. Let's say they succeed with getting everything in place and are actually up and running by 2019 like they hope to be. Let's say also that USAG manages to walk through the next year still...

Sean Townsend is 100% Accurate - I can say that from my own experiences. Nepotism and intimidation rules the Men's Side of the Sport. Maybe I should contact this guy and tell him what has happened just in NJ USAG last year.
*Note: It may be bad that the...
