    WAG Reaching Down in Landings

    I'm posting this for my DD's coach. I'll show her the replies, She's 11 yrs old, competing her 2nd year of Level 8. She competed a yurchenko timer last year, and her first meet this year did another timer. Her problem, she cannot stop reaching for the ground in her landings when she flips, and...

    WAG Yurchenko Level 8

    Does anyone know for sure if the Yurchenko timer for Level 8 is a 9.0 start value now? My DDs coach thought it had been changed, and then a judge came in this week and said no it's still a 7.4 SV. Her first meet is this weekend, and she hasn't done a FHS in months. She's flipping the vault onto...

    WAG Floor Music Help

    DD just turned 9, and is getting choreography in a week or two. She's not a cutesy gymnast at all, is very serious during her routines, but can't dance to save her life. Coach wants something "In between cute and serious, with strong beats". She'll do 3 tumbling passes, and as little dance as...

    WAG Is It Vestibular??

    I have an 8 yr old gymnast who is training Level 5, with the potential to go Level 7 this spring. All of a sudden, she's fluctuating between being terrified of back handsprings and back walkovers on beam, and the next day she's fine. Today she decided she couldn't do a standing back handspring...

    WAG Another Grips Thread...Sorry!

    I did search through the old threads, but didn't see anything that covered pain from grips. My DD8 got grips a few months ago, wore them for a few weeks, and started getting pain in between her thumb and index finger when she pushed down on the bar. Is this a sizing thing? The way she's holding...

    WAG Rec program question

    What kind of award/badge/progression charts does your gyms rec program use? Do you give out report cards? How often do you test or do you test at all?

    WAG My Meet Scores Question

    I know they are not 100% accurate by any means, but we have a TON of gymnasts under our club name who have never been here. I don't see any way to get them off, and they are bothering the owner. ;-) This is my job BTW, so not just being picky.

    WAG Shoulders popping/cracking?

    In the last few weeks, my 7yr olds shoulders (both of them) will crack or pop when she raises her arms. She says is doesn't hurt, but it makes me cringe. My brother is a physical therapist, and he said there is no way of knowing why without an X-ray, but he said he would check her out when he...

    WAG Level 3 Kip

    Is there any benefit to competing a glide kip in Level 3 instead of a pullover? My DD just moved up to Level 3, has her kip, and her coach mentioned she could compete it if she can get her straight arms consistent.

    Parents "Keep Your Eyes On the Beam!"

    So my little one just started competing, just turned 7 level 2, and is having a blast. She's placed every meet top 3 AA, and has no real idea what this means, just knows she's done well. But the little bugger cannot keep her eyes on what she's doing on any event! It's funny in some aspects, her...

    WAG Question for Coach's/Gym Admin

    Is there any way to check a coach's international references/resume? For example, if a coach had claimed to work with a national team in another country? And most of the coach's references are in said country....

    WAG Skill Charts

    We ordered the USAG skill charts for our younger levels, and we knew 1-3 would be on the same poster. What we didn't know, is it's not broke down by individual skills, it's the whole routine. We were looking for more like the Level 4 and 5 charts, how it's broke down by skill. So now I'm trying...

    WAG What Computer Software Does Your Gym Use?

    For those of you who own/work at your gym....what computer software do you use? We do it manually now, then give the receipts to our accountant who enters it in. We want to get office software to do it all at once, as it's just too much for the accountant to do. Thanks!

    Off Topic Gymnast Gift Exchange

    At our gym's team Christmas party, there is a gift exchange. The thing is, it could go to anyone from a 4 yr old, to a 17 yr old. Any ideas? The cap is $20 I think. I've looked through pages of gymnast stuff on Amazon, and nothing has caught my eye. Well, stuff has caught my eye, but nothing I...

    WAG Mill Circle

    Is this new for the L3 routine? Because I just went back and watched my niece's L3 bar routine at a meet, and there was no mill circle. It was a pullover, BHC, leg cut, then a toe on dismount. But my little one's L3 routine has the mill circle in it, after the leg cut. TIA!

    Off Topic Chinese Gymnast Training

    On Youtube a few minutes ago I stumbled across a video on kids Chinese gymnastics training. I know you can't believe everything on the internet, and things can be taken out of context, but is this really the norm? I know every culture has it's own views on what is socially acceptable, different...
