    WAG World Gymnastics Championships Montreal 2017

    Ellie will be there but she's retiring after, so this will be her last comp.

    Parents Reassure me about gym switching!

    A change can be refreshing! Go for it!

    Parents Thinking of switching gyms - advice please :)

    I would visit Option 2 just to get a feel for the gym. Meet the coaches and watch the training. While your daughter is still only 6, you have a chance to get her bonded and grow with girls and families in your neighbourhood. Life is easy when the location is near you because you will be driving...

    Parents How do you know when it is time to move on?

    I agree with this too. My dd became increasingly quiet on the way to gym and stopped talking about it. She used to express excitement about learning new skills, then a combination of injuries along with fear of doing the higher/scary skills and moving up to elite got to her. This took about 6...

    Age eligibility for the Aspire program

    What do you mean by scheme?

    Age eligibility for the Aspire program

    Yes I do agree it's a mistake and unfair. I saw a couple of 2005 Aspire 1's competing in the 2015-16 season according to the chart, which is wrong.

    WAG Team Sleepovers at Coach's House?

    Too creepy and totally against the coaches code of conduct.

    WAG Elite Canada 2016

    A question about qualifications? Top 36 National Novice group combined make it to day 2 Day 2 : Both days combined, top 20 plus a few petitions make High Performance. Am I correct?

    WAG Level 6 bars question

    If the cast is below 45 degrees, there is no value part and the deduction is .25-.30

    WAG Failure to remove beat board?

    So for JO deductions, my understanding is that there is a 0.30 deduction for failure to remove the beat board after the mount from the score. Does anyone know if it is a 0.50 deduction or any for High Performance in the FiG code of points?

    WAG Point Values

    A tuck, pike or stretched flyaway is worth 0.60

    WAG Lvl 2 bars deduction

    For a level 2 bar dismount, there could be many deductions. The dismount is: cast, squat-on, pike sole circle or cast, underswing. Both elements are worth 0.60 If she substituted the dismount with a straddle, her deduction would be double the value of the element. 1.2 is deducted plus any other...

    WAG Beam CW deduction question

    Hesitations, pausing and unsureness are deductions.

    WAG Deduction for missing element - compulsory

    Yes the missing BHS would be the same deduction.

    WAG Deduction for missing element - compulsory

    A missing BHS on floor for level 3 is: BHS is worth 0.60 If she misses it, the judges deduct double the value of the element: .6 + .6= 1.2 10.00-1.2= 8.80 Her start value will be 8.80 Judges will deduct faults starting at 8.80 Same goes for a missing back tuck in level 5

    WAG Question about team wear?

    Thanks for all your responses! I am happy to hear most of your clubs head coaches decide. I agree that it's best they decide and not the parents. It is still an ongoing headache right now. I do like the idea of having the girls vote! Great idea! I also agree that the coaches should be the ones...

    WAG Question about team wear?

    Great to know! Our club has some parents that expect most of the say in team wear selection. It has become a huge problem, arguing, refusal to pay etc. It has been an ongoing battle for months and the coaches are going crazy! I agree that the head coach and athlete votes are the way to go...

    WAG Question about team wear?

    Who should chose to pick their club's team wear? Parents? Athletes? Coaches? Our gym is having struggles on who has the right to decide. Thanks for your opinions everyone:)
