    Parents 5 Things Every Gym Parent Should Know?

    How many ways can the "old-timers" say to the "new-timers", just calm down? How about a thread that answers those types of questions? What we can do is offer advice/explanations/succor to those who may not want to (or cannot) talk with their coaches. A third party safety valve.

    MAG Meets are posting

    All meets are going to be at the mercy of local health departments. The best way to ensure we have a meet season is to follow all the guidelines and do everything possible to make sure your local area stays 'low count', 'low risk'.

    MAG 18 yo and SafeSport

    We had two kids who turned 18 last year. They had to take the Safesport course in order to retain their membership. The issues came up with rooming at camp and the social media stuff. We never got a very definite answer. i think as long as everything is in the open, the kids are teammates...

    Where is USAG?

    If you read " left, right, center" but you don't trust any sources aren't you just back where you started?

    MAG Proposed NCAA changes

    In many instances, the roster cuts are being dictated by the Universities. The 5/4 or 4/4 proposals are an attempt to maintain parity in response to those roster cuts. It also allows the meets to be quicker and more suitable for broadcasting. Everyone is aware of the ramifications, but...

    MAG Nationals Schedule

    You have to be in the top six AND not in the All-Around. It is not top six after the AA's are taken out. Pretty tall order. Seven kids, 6 sessions, plus JO finals maybe. Gonna be a long weekend! KRC

    WAG Oh and thanks USAG

    The quick answer from Indy is yes - however they are working on a way to allow 17yo's to take the test early (before turning 18) so that they may become compliant.: "Question was: What about the athlete who is turning 18 after the March 23 deadline and before E/W and JO Nationals? As it...

    WAG Oh and thanks USAG

    Yes, USAG definitely dropped the ball on this one, but the deadline has been extended clarified. Compliance will be checked after 4/23. Everyone should try to get it done before your regional championships. KRC

    MAG Well they apparently got kicked out of State meet too!

    I'm pretty sure that change cannot be made without an "OK" from the office. KRC

    MAG Region Championships not allowing some to compete

    Hi Everyone, Just to make the point that the USAG age groups for awards are minimums. Meet directors can (and should) subdivide if numbers warrant. As a general rule of thumb, I will go out approx one-third up to 15 places and then subdivide the group. I also try to be a little more generous...
