    MAG Changes Coming

    My son told me there are big changes to the age groups starting next year. Guess we will finally be like the rest of the world and the age group will be as of January 1st. His coach said starting next year, he will compete at the age he is for the season. This apparently means since he will be...

    MAG The dreaded "blind change"

    So my DS is getting ready for Nationals. Everything is looking really good. The thorn in his side is this blind change with straight, kept together legs. I'm not looking for coaching advise but how hard is this? He says it's not as easy as it looks and I believe him. He's been working on...

    MAG Grips

    Thanks everyone! Yes, his hands are quite small; now it makes more sense. He hasn't outgrown his grips but he said his coach said he can't compete in elite competitions with those girl grips. Does anyone know anything about that? I don't know how they would know what kind of grips he has.

    MAG Grips

    Yes, my point exactly. Keep in mind my son is 11 and may have his information a little backwards even though he said it over and over. ;) Really just looking to see if any manufacturer is better than another.

    MAG Grips

    Anyone have any recommendations for boys ring grips? My son told me his coach told him that he's been using girl ring grips this whole time (over 2 years). His coach referred us to Turn grips but said we can use any. Also, do any of you have more than one pair for your son?

    MAG official getting ready for states thread!

    Jut got our State and Regional Schedule. The only one we will have to travel for is Regionals. I'm still confused about Technical Sequences though. I see the schedule for Friday afternoon for both States and Regionals. Does my son need to do both or once he qualifies for Nationals he's done...

    MAG Scoring

    Yes! Sometimes it's better to be in the dark!!! ;) You can drive yourself crazy trying to figure it all out. Best to be left to the coaches and judges.

    MAG Scoring

    Thanks so much. I was really confused and it looks like I will be all season! :) So anything above a 6 is going to be good? What's the basis for the change?

    MAG Scoring

    Did the scoring change for this season? My son is a level 7 and he keeps telling me his score is not out of 16 anymore. Does he mean the start value? I'm confused. :confused:

    MAG Heel pain

    What? :eek: The ortho never told us that. Wish I had an Ortho who understood gymanstics. He didn't even know or understand the events. I like your suggestion. Will talk to the coach tomorrow. Thanks. ;)

    MAG Heel pain

    Yup, it is Sever's. :) The Orthopedic told him to stop vault and tumbling for one month, to which my son responded, "No WAY! The alternative is the Cheetah heel cup and after practice elevation and ice. It seems to be helping.

    MAG Heel pain

    Wow, I was just going to post this same issue. My son has been having heel pain for the past few months and its getting worse. His seems to be the sides of his right heel. It bothers him the most when he runs on vault. He is seeing the Orthopedic tomorrow. They have been working hard now that...
