    Parents How was this coach not put on the suspended list?!

    Everest Gymnastics in NC, Qi Han. They have had reports apparently for years, but from a national team member's parents since last year. But he still isn't on the list (I just looked). It sure seems to me that there is some jumping too fast on certain people to put out a tweet about them being...

    WAG Heel pain, "lumps" in bottom of heel

    My DD is having heal pain. She has dealt with severs and says this feels different. She says it feels like there is "something" in her heel, on the bottom of it. It makes anything on her feet (running, tumbling, dance, etc) hurt all of her heel. When I rub her heel, deep in the tissue I can feel...

    Parents Do my girls just have HUGE hands??

    measuring for grips... My 10 year old IS tall for her age. My 12 yo is average to short for her age. They are 4'10.5" and 4'11". So not short at all for gymnasts; but not the tallest girls in the gym either. So the coach measured them for grips (my 10 yo is getting her first pair, my 12 yo...

    WAG Any experience with American Gymnast grips?

    My youngest DD finally needs grips. She is 10; but very tall. She doesn't have tiny hands. There is an awesome deal for kids who went to Flip Fest with American Gymnast grips (50% off). My other two have never used this brand. It looks like my DD would be a size 3, which seems crazy since that...

    Parents Presidential Classic questions

    Our optionals are going to this meet this year. It looks like it is a Friday - Monday meet. I'm trying to price out hotels and flights for our coaches... I figure I'd have them come in on Thursday; but would rather not pay all of the way through Tuesday if possible. Does anyone know if they...

    WAG What levels can go to nationals?

    On the USAG site I thought I found it said that level 10 goes to nationals, 9 to Easterns and Westerns and levels 6-8 top out at regionals; but another friend said that other levels definitely go to nationals. So... how does it work for girls?? What levels go to nationals?

    WAG Anyone's DD dealt with Peroneal Tendinitis?

    My DD (10 yo level 5) is having pain on the side of her leg/ankle and from reading it seems like it might be this. She fractured her right leg (not in gymnastics) and was on crutches for about 6 weeks (fractured up near her knee). She was in a leg brace during that time and for another few...

    Parents MSO question

    If you look up a gymnast the first page that comes up after you click the name has some basic stats, then the last column is a check mark (or no check mark). What is that check mark for??? Here is an example with Megan Skaggs - one of the girls that just competed in Italy...

    WAG question about college gymnastics scoring

    I was looking for info on what the bonuses in men's Gymnatics are worth and came across an article (posted below) about women's college gymnastics. The article says that for college athletes a 9.7 is only OK, a 9.8 is average and you need a 9.9 or 10 to have a "great score". Is this true...

    MAG do boys ever do two vaults?

    For girls they do two and are scored in the better of the two. Is there a level when the boys start doing two or is it only two if you mess up and then you take a deduction?

    Parents What the heck has MSO done now??

    I just went to the site. For the life of me I can not figure out how to look up an individual athlete (I'm trying to see something for my son on his old scores). I tell you, since the started "improving" the site it has gotten worse and worse.:eek:

    WAG Underwear with leos?

    DD's coaches say that they want the girls wearing underwear for competitions. DD hates to wear underwear with a leo. HATES IT. We did it last year for competitions because they had white leos. This year they have dark leos though, so DD had thought she would be fine not to wear them. Do...

    Parents gymnastics in Switzerland

    DH and I were talking tonight about places that we would consider living. Other than where we do live I could only come up with CO, WY and MT. Then he asked about Zurich. Apparently there is a realistic option that he could get transferred there if we were open to it. My first reaction was...

    Parents Question for when changing gyms

    If you change gyms after starting booster payments at the old gym, say the old gym has already paid for that year's USAG membership... will that then transfer over to the new gym? Or do you have to pay for a new membership? I'd assume that you only pay once per year, that it goes with the kid...

    Parents do you think there is a cheer forum out there...

    where parents ask stuff like, "My DD needs to work on her BHS, it is easier to get her into a gymnastics class. Should that be OK to do to help her out?" And all of the responses are like, "NO WAY!!! Those gymnastics people are insane. They are so worried about form that it can take for ever...

    Parents We might soon have one less team gymnast in our family

    My 7 yo DD tried volleyball tonight and absolutely loved it. She can have a tendency towards being a "Negative Nelly"; but after that practice tonight she had nothing but positive things to say. I do think that a large part of her love for it was the coaches - they were all so nice and...

    WAG WDYT? Don't ice injuries?

    A runner friend just posted a link to this blog post. It is interesting; but I still lean towards icing when one of my kids (or I) get hurt. http://athleticmedicine.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/why-ice-and-anti-inflammatory-medication-is-not-the-answer/

    WAG new symptom of plantar fasciitis? or something else?

    My 7 yo dd was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis a few months ago. For her the pain is in her arch, not her heel. Last night at the end of practice (3 hour practice, she was ending on vault) she said that her heel was really, really hurting. It isn't really the bottom of the heel, rather the...
