    Off Topic Brag Post

    You may know that I'm a L10. I've been here for a few years, and now I've been angling to go elite my whole life. I've been given an exact year now: 2025, I can go up. Yesssss. Due to certain things I'll have to wait 2 years, and then I'll be living my childhood dream!!!!! I really wanted to...

    WAG Gymnastics and Identity

    I decided to make a spin-off thread from one I saw that kind of raised something that I really think about a lot. Gymnastics really becomes a part of your identity, or your child's identity. I don't know how I would define myself without it. I have other passions that I want to pursue, but...

    Parents Gymnastics + Other Sports

    This question is for gym parents of multi sport upper level gymnasts. How did your kids balance multiple sports as upper level gymnasts? Thinking back to my school days, I can't imagine balancing another sport outside of school with gymnastics hours. So I just wonder how you managed to do it...

    WAG Coaches taking over from other groups...

    Okay, there's something I've begun to notice at my gym more recently. There is a very large level 4 group at my gym. The three coaches are young, about 18-22 years old. I understand that the gym is big and their group is big, but they have taken over! They decided to take all the floors on one...

    WAG Junior Elite is so confusing!

    I don't desperately need to know this or anything, just want to know because I like knowing everything when it comes to gymnastics. Do Junior Elite gymnasts compete a compulsory and an optional routine until they achieve the required compulsory score and then drop it? Is that right? Answers...

    WAG Injury and competition!?!

    So my close friend from gymnastics fractured her ankle, and will be out for 8 weeks. I was wondering if she'll be fit to compete with a shot in a September competition, and if there's anything she should do to maintain her strength. When she gets back, she'll only have around a month and a half...

    WAG Uni and Gymnastics

    So, I do gym for 36 hours a week, and I love my club. I would never, ever consider leaving it. It's my home. Everyone there has known me since I was five. Absolutely no way am I leaving. But after two years off school (I graduated 2020), and upping my hours in those two years, I need to start...

    WAG Gym Hair HELP!!!

    Okay, so, I started doing my own hair for training when I was 10, and meets when I was 12, but after so many years of practice and so many techniques I have tried, I can never make it stay in. The past two meets, it's been okay, but training? Always comes out. So, gymnasts, gym parents, any one...

    WAG Are our roundoff back handspring entries being scored?

    As a gymnast I actually have no idea; as A skills, do they count toward the number of A skills. Because once you start to optionals you start counting your A skills and B skills, etc, so do they count? And are they scored and deducted? Curious and hoping I have enough A skills!

    WAG Middle School Gymnastics

    I'm from Australia and am curious about the system for middle school gymnastics. What are the requirements and what levels are they similar to? Is it true that they use Xcel requirements? If anyone knows, that would be great!

    Off Topic Got any skills recently?

    You or your kids get any new skills recently? It is very exciting getting a new skill, so tell the gymnastics community! Sometimes we all need to show off our/our kids skills!
