    WAG Twice z day training?

    I'm just curious as to thoughts on breaking up training for higher level, homeschooled/modified regular schooled athletes? At what level might it begin to be beneficial? Or what age would work? What would an "ideal" schedule look like? What has been suggested is 7-11, am, an hour of warm ups...

    Ontario Qualifiers

    I just found out that this year the girls can compete in 4 qualifiers instead of 3. The top 2 scores are still averaged for championships. Other than this and the age change, does anyone else know of any other changes? Has anyone's club given them their qualifiers yet? We are hosting one...

    Where will videos be on YouTube?

    Does anyone know? An Olympics channel? FIG? Will different broadcasters be able to post, such an NBC or BBC?

    My girl's bars from today!

    So proud today. Dd competed with kitkat's Alex and even though she is totally out of Alex's league on bars, still managed 2nd place with a floor foot touch, a bar foot touch, and no full turn with questionable handstands, lol! I think I was most proud seeing Alex and dd hanging out together...

    WAG Along the thread of "lines" and wonky hands

    I know there are deductions for feet not pointed during skills, but what about hands during skills? I ask because my dd does this wonky "gun pointing" thing with her hands in the middle of all her beam flight elements. The only reason we know is that in the photos from the meet you see it on her...

    WAG Is your daughter training for the Olympics?

    I posted something on Facebook about dd's first meet of the season last weekend. One mom I know asked this question. I started writing and I think my response came out pretty nice so I wanted to share. I wanted to hear what other people say when they get asked the same thing? "Thanks for the...

    Where to see in Canada?

    Title says it all. USA gymnastics has blocked the live feeds in Canada.

    WAG Training times and break times - a survey

    I stink at coming up with titles, lol. I wanted to start this new thread off of the nutrition thread below. It seems like all our gymnasts have different lengths of trying and the break times vary also. This is kind of a survey for my own curiosity and to see what differences are out there...

    WAG Spotting on bars with their head is incorrect, right?

    Can someone correct me if I am wrong but pulling them up out of a straddle circle thing and handstand by their head is really bad right? I know not knowing the terms is bad too but this shocked me. Not my daughter, not my gym, but a video on YouTube i just watched, FYI.

    WAG Is is vestibular if it is only one skill on one event?

    I KNOW there are a thousand threads on this because I searched and read most of them. But none really answered my question. My dd has a thing with the back handspring back layout on beam. I haven't gotten into a real discussion with her about it because i know that could make it worse. She does...

    Podium training frustration!

    For the first time ever something is streaming perfectly for me and all they are showing is beam! :(

    Question about the JO program in Ontario and "teams"

    A thread in the WAG section got me thinking. All competitions in the USA have the team portion, and i was wondering if anyone knows if that is going to be incorporated into the qualifiers this year? I know the old Invitational competitions sometimes had them, but now that there will be a level...

    WAG Cast handstand technique question

    Totally just a random curiosity question from me again, lol. Just wondering if there are deductions for a weird technique with cast handstands. This person does what looks like a leg together cast handstand but with a leg straddle at the very end. So instead of the bum up first then the legs...

    FYI pre Novice and Novice info now available

    I was just looking on the Gym Canada website for the Quebec age categories, and stumbled upon the information for the Pre Novice Aspire and Elite, and the National Novice info. Nearly had a conniption, lol! Here are the links: CPN info...

    How do you get HP status?

    I'm asking about Novice specifically. Is it everyone who competes at Elite Canada? Is it the top so many? Thanks for any info. :) Still waiting to see kitkat's dd's videos!

    USA gymnastics YouTube channel

    It is now saying the videos from Worlds are not available in my country! I have always watched their videos, this is new to me. :( Edited to add that the podium training and other previous videos still work.

    Searching the forum from mobile app?

    Since I can't figure out how to search, I can't search the answer, lol. So my apologies if this has been asked and answered, I tried scrolling and scrolling but I didn't see anything. So, how do you search from mobile?

    WAG Boycott Gymnastike

    It has been mentioned in other threads to make this a new specific thread, but it hasn't yet been done. So I am taking it to task to say that I believe it is the right thing to do to stop visiting their site, following links to them or supporting them in any way. The reason for this, in case...

    WAG Difference between a barani and front half?

    I know we talked about this before when dd still did T&T, but I can't figure out how to search on my tablet, lol. So is there any difference or is it just the name and the fact one is on floor and one is on the tramp? And can anyone tell me where to find the search feature on the mobile app...
