We think it is at our gym, had 12 post pandemic up to 34 now 3 years later. Since then, one gym has closed their program locally. Biggest issue is coaches, but we've had luck with female coaches taking the plunge onto the men's side. I've trained them and they've taken it upon themselves to...

We are going on our 3rd year with a Club Track (Bronze through Platinum) Program and we love it! Our boys program exploded, going to 34 kids with minimal hour and financial commitment. Only 14 of those kids are USAG. We also allow for hopping between JN and CT which has really helped with...

We are part of the old Region 7... we've been pretty spoiled when it comes to everything being within a 3 hour driving distance for regionals. Only thing we are concerned about is having to drive up to New England in the dead of winter and having to contend with Blizzards... which are little...

Thank you very much, I'm pretty confident going into it. The boys have been on fire. Hope your son has the opportunity to compete this weekend. Good luck to his team (whomever he is competing for) but as you probably guessed I have my biases towards Temple. They were at William & Mary's heels...

Navy Gymnastics Open this weekend down in Annapolis. I have my JN Optionals competing there and get to see one of my former gymnasts competing for Temple in the collegiate session. It's going to be a fun weekend!

If you are moving to lower Upstate NY I's suggest World Class (Ask for Bob), World Cup (Again, ask for Bob), and Kennett (ask for Dimitri). These are all good gyms with solid records. I also have another idea since you mentioned Galaxy as a gym you called. My gym, Aeon Fitness and Gymnastics...

Hey all, I can confirm that, at least in NJ, that it was communicated to us prior to the pandemic that the age changes were going into place next year. I saw the document today on USA Gymnastic's Website and I'll reach out for further clarification. I, for one, would be over the moon if this was...

I'm one of those aforementioned energetic and loud coaches but even so I still have problems sometimes with a sore throat at the end of practice. The biggest tool that I use to help mitigate issues with my rec & team groups listening to or hearing me is a white board or piece of paper with the...

TBH it is something only certain people in the state know about... but it's highly frustrating because I'm handcuffed, I don't want anything impacting my guys that I coach. So I'm at a loss on what to do.

Article I'm Referencing: https://gymnasticsville.com/2018/01/29/olympian-sean-townsend-speaks-usa-gymnastics-corruption/ Sean Townsend is 100% Accurate - I can say that from my own experiences. Nepotism and intimidation rules the Men's Side of the Sport. Maybe I should contact this guy and tell...

So the way J.O. Compulsory Scoring works like this for all events minus Vault for Level 6: Base Score: 9.5 Virtuosity: 0.5 Bonus #1: 0.5 Bonus #2: 0.5 Bonus #3: 0.5 Total Possible: 11.5 Omission is a deduction so I don't know how your son could start with a base value below a 9.50 - according...

Yes, one of our current USAG WAG Optional Coaches was a MAG Coach for Years (My guys actually competed against his prior gym's guys, lol) as well as one of our higher level USAIGC Coaches who actually coached with me for about 4-5 years. Both of them are excellent coaches who are dedicated to...

I was reading this thread and apparently I posted on accident so... Hi! I can't delete it, so here is my edit, lol.

Instead of writing a long reply, as I was doing, feel free to PM me and we can talk/text over the phone. It's just easier for me, lol. I've been the head men's coach of a program for 5 going on 6 years now in NJ. I'm always looking to help. :)

Update, got off work last minute on Friday so I'm going to be there through Sunday Morning! So I bought last minute tickets to the MAG Event Finals for FX, PH, & SR... look for the guy decked out in USA Gear, gotta live up to the stereotype!!! lololol

I'm cannon-balling it up from NJ on Wednesday for the Men's AA-Finals on Thursday and turning right back around on Friday. Super excited!

I honestly think this could be a great way to get boys who cannot commit to the hours for a J.O. or J.D. program to be able to compete gymnastics. I'm thinking of transitioning our Men's Advanced Classes and e-mailing a couple of parents of gymnasts who quit due to the aforementioned reason and...

I'm just curious if you don't mid me asking, what level of training did the Men's Program go up to competitively?

Out of curiosity, how did your meeting go? I hope it went well!

I'll definitely do that! Thanks for the suggestion!
