    MAG Homeschool question

    For those who homeschool...we are considering homeschooling our oldest for non-gymnastics reasons. While it is unlikely that he is going to do college level gymnastics I don't want to close any doors and have regrets later and from what I have read on here and other places there are specific...

    MAG Spotting Deduction

    Anyone know how much is taken off if a coach spots a kid on a skill? Compulsory level if that makes a difference (and not one of the skills where doing it without a spot is a bonus)?

    MAG Mushroom Circles...Again

    Does anyone have creative ideas for helping a little guy (6 years old) understand what his body is supposed to do for a circle on the mushroom? I know it takes a ton of patience and practice (I've been through it with my other three). He wants to practice on our home mushroom but practice is...

    MAG Mushroom Moves

    Since everyone was so helpful on the giants thread, can someone help me with mushroom moves? I have watched slow-mo videos of spindles, Moore’s and stocklis and I just don’t understand how they differ. Can someone explain it in words? Thank goodness flairs and Russians are so obviously different!

    MAG Anyone going to the Championships in Boston?

    We are thinking of taking our 8-year old who desperately wants to go but I've never been to a high level competition like this. Just wondering what they are like. Worth the trip? It would be extra neat for him since he has met some of the Ohio State guys who will be competing at camp this...

    MAG Male gymnast books

    Anyone know of any?? My 8 year old read Lance Ringnald’s biography and desperately wants something similar for a road trip this weekend but I’m coming up blank. Any reading level is fine but his requirements are it must be non-fiction and must be a MALE gymnast.

    MAG Broken Ankle :(

    Oldest son (11) broke his ankle last night at practice. Got a cast on just in time to hop on the plane to Florida. He is so bummed but will cheer his brothers on. I feel so bad for him :(

    MAG Ridiculous packing question

    When you have to fly to a meet do you put uniforms in luggage or carry on? I dread the thought of lugging them in carry ons (three uniforms plus one layover) but I'm afraid of lost luggage too. Gym mom problems :eek:

    MAG Clinics/camps at colleges

    Anyone have experience? Do they tend to be worthwhile? We are heading to Ohio for thanksgiving and my youngest desperately wants to do the clinic at Ohio State (it's for kids 7+, day and a half). It would be for fun - we aren't expecting anything out of it as parents. He just has stars in his...

    MAG Someone remind me...

    Of how sure I was that they would never get their circles on mushroom. Because right now I think I'm MORE sure the kip will be the death of us. The drama, the angst, the "I'm closer than you are" of it. Ugh! So...how many days/weeks/months did it take for your DS to master the kip? Next year...

    MAG OTC Question

    After watching the competition yesterday my 7-year old is wondering how it is determined who trains at the OTC and I have no clue. Obviously there were the guys that were in the Olympics this past year and haven't retired, but is the OTC roster updated annually based on something? Or is it...

    MAG Speaking of the age changes...

    Can someone tell me how the age levels work for future stars? I don't have a child in future stars but one desperately hoping to get there so I was just curious. Did the age cut offs change for that program as well?

    MAG Coming out of lurkdom

    I have been learning so much from this site without posting, so I felt it was time I introduced myself. I am relatively new to boys' gymnastics (I was a not-very-good female competitive gymnast many years ago and never imagined getting dragged back into the sport by my kids :)..). My boys are...
