So this topic is not completely related to gymnastics, but looking to see if anyone might have any information as I don’t know where to even potentially begin. My 16 son is a former gymnast- only made it to level 7, always struggled on pommel and ultimately decided to quit 3 years ago and play...
DS (13) just came home from practice and shared that his coach told him he thinks he could either plan to compete only 3 events (floor, vault and pbars) this upcoming season or should just skip the season. He competed L6 last year- he struggled a lot and did not have a great season. Over the...

DS is very excited to be getting his first pair of HB grips! Coach has recommended 501 Blues with buckles. However, DS is insisting that he wants velcro. What is the real difference between the buckle and velcro? What have your boys used (he is just a L5)? I can see that velcro may be easier...
While I have never posted anything, I have been lurking on this board for a bit ...we have had a crazy gymnastics week of highs and lows this week so it has prompted me to make my first post :-)
A little about me- my DS 10 started gymnastics about 18 months...started just taking a rec class as...
