Looks like the authorities are listening. Looks like people are coming forward. Now USAG needs to ban this coach. He has even admitted it. http://abc7chicago.com/amp/gymnastics-coach-from-palatine-charged-with-having-sex-with-teen/2989171/

It might seem unfair that a potential USAG decertification could affect MAG as well as WAG, but in the big picture of what is healthy for athletes, it may be warranted. It is a reality that should be considered as the calls for USAG decertification will only increase in the coming weeks as...

I just saw on Facebook that the chairman, vice chairman, and treasurer at the USAG have resigned. I will say that a lot of these moves seem like they're happening kind of late but at least they're happening. I hope this is an indication of real change. I'd like to see similar action and the USOC.

I came across this today on Gym Blog Central’s Facebook page. Not sure where it was originally posted. Thoughts?

Okay, so the USAG compulsory music is awful! But, just out of curiosity, can someone in JO use the compulsory (probably level 4 or 5, since it's longer) music in optionals, but with different choreography?

I am new to the CB site and to gymnastics as a parent. My daughter is 8-years old and a very committed USAIGC team member in NYC. I know it's early to talk about this, because of her age, but she has expressed a desire to go all the way with her beloved sport - to college team or to major...

Apologies if either of these two brave women have been mentioned already, but I haven't seen it yet and I think it's vital that the recent accounts given by Tatiana and McKayla be shared. Please read their stories in their own words, my short summaries are not enough. Tatiana...

Our gym will not let girls do make ups for missed practices, saying that USAG limits the ratio to 1:8, so they cannot go over that to accommodate a kid doing a make up. Is there truth to that?

In another thread, there were comments on the front cover of the most current USAG magazine and the proposed new photograph policy. It bothered me so I emailed USAG's Toby Stark. This is what I said: Page 9 of the current USAG magazine say this: Examples of photos that should be edited or...

When partaking in another thread, I did some googling and found this story: AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT SCANDAL, OUSTED U.S. GYMNASTICS LEADER GETS BIG PAYDAY (Newsweek, June 2017, click on title for story) So bascially, Steve Penny got approx. $1M in a severance package for doing his part in the...

http://buff.ly/2tSoKP0 Link to an independent report on changes that need to be made to the current system. Pages 90 and on deal with the ranch and the national team. USAG has a lot of work to do. Report does say they are looking for a new training centre.

Hello Everyone I am coaching all of the upper levels at my gym this year. I had a question about the USAG level 8 bars routine (and requirements). I understand all of the requirements, but: 1) The routine requires 4 'A' and 4 'B' skills. Can we replace an 'A' skill with a 'B' skill? (so have 5...
