actually MaryA, there are some Y's that do take sanction from USAG. it's so that the kids can receive mobility scores in their areas. but in order for this to happen, ALL officials on a USAG sanctioned floor must have USAG credentials. and as you know, many Y coaches have their USAG certifications as well as the judges.
I have a question....My son wrestles through USA Wrestling during the regular wrestling season and may do some off-season AAU wrestling meets. The other day, he received a letter from AAU stating that he could be in a biography type of book. My husband and I think this is a hoax and an attempt to peddle some money from us. But for my son's sake, I thought to ask. Does any one have any inside knowledge on a biography book that AAU has of athletes entitled, "2011 Edition of the Best Athletes in AAU"?
My daughter (not my gymmie) got the same exact thing, and she ran track for about three months and competed in one meet, where she made a perfectly fine showing for someone who had only been running track for three months and was competing in her first (and last) meet, but that's about it. So, while I'm sure it's not a "hoax" in as much as I'm sure they'd be happy to put your son's biography (and a photograph for a mere $12 fee) into the book, it's definitely a ploy to get parents to buy a $60 book (maybe with an extra copy for grandma?) that means nothing in the wide world of atheletics.
Thanks for this post! My DD's gym competes AAU (I think only for level 4) and competes USAG (levels 4-10), so I had wondered what the difference was. She's in Level 3, so we haven't quite gotten that far yet.
Wow - complicated system you have there !
may I ask what the pricing differences are ( you spoke about high costs verses lower costs) and how many hours your daughters tend to train for ? We have a level system once you are out of Rec - doing some reseach my DD would be working at level 6 I think on your system.
My gym offers rates from £4.50 per hour for rec, with discounts for girls training more often.
Thanks
