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.
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...
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...
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...

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.
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.
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...
