    WAG NSW - National and State Stream

    Victoria used to have a state stream that was based on the national stream requirements but a little bit more simplified and with a bit more flexibility in requirements. State level 10 would have been roughly equivalent to national level 8. Max training hours for state stream was 12 hours and...

    Off Topic Diving for gymnasts?

    Yes that’s a good point. The club I was with was attached to a private school that used both their school pool and the big public pool where all the other clubs trained.

    Off Topic Diving for gymnasts?

    We have a lot of recreational and lower level competitive diving down here where I live. I find it odd that it would be so different up there. I did diving both with my school (very rec) and also with a club outside of school which had absolute beginners up to very competent divers who...

    Hello Chalk bucket and Aussie Coach

    WAG Spring Floor Versus Foam Floor

    WE had a spring floor with foam blocks as opposed to springs at my gym and I loved it. In my opinion it felt better than some floors we competed on that had springs. I also worked on the events team for our state association and when we ran events we used foam sprung floors as well (level...
