    USAG program

    Some of our team want to do more competitions so we're trying to do some USAG competitions. We took a look at the rules for the prep opp gold and platinum and realized I need to at least compete level 5 with 31.00 or more overall to compete those prep opp levels so right now I'm learning all the...

    AAU Competitions

    Hey everyone, I was reading about the ohio meet and I'm excited they are adding in the ladies division level 8. Unfortunately thats a little far for all of us here in Myrtle Beach. We would really like to go to a few more competitions this year though and are hoping to get other people's support...

    Age Divisions for Ladies Division

    We've been talking about something at our gym and our coach agrees that we think AAU should start for ladies division and that is age groups. I don't think its bad that it starts at 16 but really 16 is still a kid pretty much. A 30 year old should not be put in the same age group as someone...

    Burnt Out

    Its seems so strange to me but the last two the one thing I love more than anything feels like work that I just don't want to do. I don't know whether I'm burnt out or what or just frustrated. Its one month before nationals and I just feel like i don't want to go to practice. Recently instead of...

    Switching Coaches

    I just wanted to get different opinions on what you guys think I should do about a sticky situation. As I said I really want to compete and so do the other 2 girls I mentioned. The problem is although I love my coach that has been working with me for about 2 years now and I've definitely...

    Grips

    Hey, I was just wondering if old grips can cause problems. I think my grips are about 12 years old. I just haven't wanted to spend the money on new ones but I'm thinking about it. They fall off my fingers and they've stretched out so much that they kind of curl up in my palm somewhat. I wasn't...

    Team

    Different people & coaches keep saying "We need to put her on team" when they see me practice and I kind of just laugh or say "yah, that would be interesting" but in the back of my mind I think I'd love to be on the team. I'd probably be level 7 so at least I'd get to work out with the...

    Standing Backhandsprings

    I know this might sound silly but I can do roundoff backhandsprings easily but my standing bhs stinks. This has been a problem for me forever. I mean even when I was a kid. I can do them but I really want to do one on the beam and it just seems impossible. I can do it a little better out of a...

    Trapeze

    This is a little off the regular topic but I just thought I'd mention that I haven't been online recently because I've been in New York visiting some relatives but I did have the opportunity while I was there to try trapeze school (TSNY). It was really awesome. If you like bars you'll just have...

    Frustration with new skills

    I was just wondering how many of you go through the same thing when trying to get a new skill. It seems like I can pick up a new skill without too much difficulty at first. I seem to get better each time and then suddenly I do it perfectly a couple times and then the frustration begins. I don't...

    Injuries

    I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a pulled adductor (inner thigh). I'm getting really frustrating. I pulled it about a month ago but it's still bothering me and I think its because I keep trying to tumble anyway. I think roundoffs are the worst. Normal activites and exercise...
