    WAG New Recruiting Rules?

    I have nothing against the recruiting services but I also don't like that I, as a club coach, cannot have conversations about my athletes with an NCAA coach, but that these agencies can.

    WAG New Recruiting Rules?

    I am definitely for the rule to keep verbal from happening so early. The part I don't like is that us club coaches can't even have regular conversations about our athletes unless they are juniors? We have a coach coming in next week, and we won't even be able to discuss the two kids she will be...

    Coaches Recruiting Question

    Hi all, I am a coach and I also run our gyms recruiting Instagram and other social media. We currently have a gymnast set to graduate in 2019, and I have been advertising as such. She has informed us that she would like to compete for our club for an additional year, while attending community...

    WAG Any experience with a scaphoid fracture?

    We had a kid damage her lunate bone outside the gym. Doc said it was dying and they couldn't do much. She went and had acupuncture done, along with some other holistic stuff and competed fully this season. Even though it' a diffrent injury, blood flow was the issue. Acupuncture was a big help...

    Coaches Gymnasts and social media

    Do you have a specific code of conduct for your team members on their social media? Up until now we have been fine with just talkng about appropriate behavior and it' never been an issue. This year we have a few new kids who are causing some trouble and the verbal warnings aren't working. I was...

    Parents Pink Invitational - floor volunteers anyone know???

    We went once, and the 9 scores got a ribbon to tie onto a specific area. Part of their breast cancer awareness theme.

    WAG Some news on Geddert himself - suspended

    Meet scores online still says twistars, so could be the site is goofy.

    WAG Some news on Geddert himself - suspended

    Yeah right now they are all being accredited to Accel gym in California on mymeetscores, but we know how that site is. Could be a new name for an old program that just happens to be in the system, and the site doesn't know the difference. I doubt they all joined up with a CA gym.

    WAG Some news on Geddert himself - suspended

    So I just checked some meet results from yesterday and all of the Twistar kids and now competing under another gym name, Accel. Anybody have any info?

    Good for you. As a coach there is nothing better than hearing from a happy parent.

    WAG Some news on Geddert himself - suspended

    They would probably love to hear you say that! Most coaches only hear things when there is a complaint, so please send a note of gratitude!

    I feel bad for the kids who have dealt with this, and also for the coaches at Twistars who are truly good people. I know there are some there that hopefully will get their chance to make things better once John is out of the picture.

    WAG Discussion of abuse in USAG - Nassar

    It's for sale. The coach who wants to buy it has talked about it to some.

    WAG Discussion of abuse in USAG - Nassar

    Agreed! Although this year was the smallest invite they have hosted in years. If you move to Mich, I'm sure the community here can find you a suitable option.

    WAG Discussion of abuse in USAG - Nassar

    Wow. I have always heard rumblings, only to have them seemingly disappear...I think the gym is on the verge of being sold.

    Coaches Back pain and prevention

    That sounds similar to our story, especially with the difficutly in diagnosing fractures. So frustrating.

    Coaches Back pain and prevention

    We had a big gymnastics doc come in, he gave us a few minor ideas, but said he thought we were doing things right. Every event has pit and resi landings, and we use those a lot. I can't pinpoint anything new skillwise. They are all 12-14 so I know growing is a part of it. Hoping this too shall...

    Coaches Back pain and prevention

    I do think a bit of paranoia has set in, and the kids are bit wary of any pains.
