    MAG Iowa men's team cut, this will be last season

    Just read Iowa cutting the men's team. Along with men and women swimming and diving, men's tennis. I am so upset and devastated for them. We have cheered and gone to their meets for years. I am truly worried for men's gymnastics.

    MAG MAG college bound gymnasts during Coivd 19

    An update, but still so many unknowns ahead! We dropped my son off to college, met with gym coaches, and he has met the other team guys. First official practice is Monday. He's so excited and in gymnastics heaven! It is great to see him so happy and the biggest smile ever. My son just hopes that...

    Poll Discussion (from the reopening gymnastics clubs poll)

    I want to clarify why clicked cameras for parents to watch outside of facility. (thus I didn't click the others about parents) I don't think any parents should be allowed in. I also think in addition to asking child about symptoms ask about anyone in their home with symptoms then child shouldn't...

    MAG MAG college bound gymnasts during Coivd 19

    My son was shooting for a walk on spot at his dream school trying to impress at state, regional, national all canceled. Now everything seems so unknown. He was signed up to do the summer session classes (and this then would allow gymnastics training there) but they moved to online only and of...

    MAG What do you do for school to help with the crazy gymnastics schedule?

    Through middle school I homeschooled since that school got out so late and he would have been over hour late to practice everyday. (we also live over hour from gym) When he went to 9th grade I talked to the school counselor about only doing the exact number of credits/required classes to...

    Parents Possible Hip Labral Tear? Career Ender?

    I did read that the original poster thankfully found that her daughter did NOT have this injury but thought I would post my son's experience for any future readers. I know I was searching for information. My son had months of pain, physical therapy sessions and misdiagnoses till finally getting...

    MAG Grips

    My son has wanted those too but we have never been able to get them in stock. So my son has stuck with the buckle hyper protec and they do last.

    Parents Top things posted on a gym parent's Facebook page (for fun)

    Such a good thread and so so true LOL! I really hate the olympic comment. There seems to be no good way to answer. I have tried several approaches and none of them seem really good. #1 Agree with the them. "Yes, I hope my kid does!" You may seem cocky then and then the person really expects...

    MAG Another thread about hours

    My son (first year level 9) only trains 15 hrs (3 hrs x 5 days a week). I know compared to other future stars boys we have met they do more, around 20. Hopefully my son can make his 15 hrs work since I don't think his coach will add more.

    MAG Changes Coming

    This is will make my son only have one year at level 9. I wonder how he will feel when he finds out about this. I don't see how it will help him, that's for sure. I do feel bad for the boys who will be missing out on a future stars year.

    MAG Level 8 vault start values?

    The vault scoring for our team has been all over the place and confusing. For example a level 8 yamas*ita got a 12.5 and on fig it says 12.0. Now in JO USAG for *level 7* it says 12.5 for the same vault.

    MAG Level 8 vault start values?

    Does anyone know what the start values are for level 8 vaults or at least be able to put this list in an order of least start value to highest start value if you don't know the actual numbers? Also, would the start value be different for level 9 or 10? Thank you! tsukahara tucked tsukahara...

    That makes sense profmom.

    MAG Nationals

    Decreased allotment number for our region. The increased JE score by 4 pts, that was the most surprising thing. And I would hope if a kid attempts to go JE but doesn't get the 124 score they would let them go JO if they are in the allotment, that would only make sense and seem fair.

    MAG pommel wrist supports

    Just an update, I finally took my son to the dr (ortho specializes in hands). Had xray and mri no specific injury but small cyst but don't think that is the reason for the pain since not in the same area where the pain is. They thought it was just the constant use and pounding it takes for...

    MAG pommel wrist supports

    My son also now has pain in his wrists with pommel (12yrs old, 2nd yr level 8). His coach has said no to using them, doesn't want to make them weaker and says he needs to strengthen them doing exercises. As a mom I don't know the ins and outs of this topic, but just want to make my son's pain go...

    Parents Do you let your child go with coach to big meets?

    Thank you for all the feedback! I was really surprised to see all the no's, I had thought it was common practice in gymnastics and I was the weird one for not wanting my kid to go without me. Our coach had traveled alone when they did gymnastics so it sounded like this was the norm. I didn't...
