    WAG Gymnastics in Bordeaux, France

    I coach a 9 year-old female gymnast who is moving to Bordeaux, France this summer. She is Junior Olympic level 3, training her level 4 skills and will be in France for about a year. She would like to continue gymnastics, so if anyone has any recommendations or information on the French system, I...

    WAG Training in France?

    Hello, I coach a gymnast who is going to be in Beaune, France for three months this fall while one of her parents completes an international internship. She just turned 8 and is on my JO2 team, and will be missing what was supposed to be her fall competitive season. Skill wise, she's actually...

    WAG Peroneal tendon subluxation

    My attempts at pretending I was still a teenager resulted in a fractured fibula in September. That is healing well, but I'm still having lots of ankle pain. Doctors initially assumed I sprained my ankle at the same time and it was just healing slower. Now it's looking like the peroneal tendon is...

    WAG Big Toe Getting Stuck - Beam/Floor Shoe?

    Hello all. I've started training again in my old age and am having the time of my life except for one little (or big) problem. When I do turns on beam or floor, my big toe frequently gets "stuck" and then is bruised/swollen for a week or two after. Not looking for medical advice, but rather...

    Research help: Statistics on race/class in gymnastics

    I wasn't quite sure where to post this. Anyways, I am working on a research proposal and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any statistics (or articles) on race or class in gymnastics. Who has access to the sport? If you know of anything, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Dealing with Shin Splints

    I am no longer a gymnast, but have been dealing with shin splints lately (most as a result of dance classes on what I believe is a non-sprung wood floor at my campus gym). Anyways, back when I was coaching regularly, I had a whole arsenal of exercises that were supposed to help prevent the...

    Passed my level 9 exam

    Just a quick brag: I took my level 9 judging exam last Friday and I passed both sections on the first try. That means I can now judge USAG women's gymnastics through level 9. Thank you to everyone who shared videos of their children for me to practice judge. :)

    Women's Level 9 Routines to practice judge

    Hello all, I just started studying for the level 9 women's judging test, so I wanted to see if any of you wonderful people had videos of you/your daughter's level 9 routines. If they have the score, that's great, but even if they don't, it's good practice for me. If you have videos you want to...

    Help me practice judging (USAG women's L7/8)

    Hello all, I'm preparing to take my Level 7/8 women's gymnastics judging exam and was wondering if anyone would want to help me out by linking to or uploading videos of your gymmie (or yourself) competing Level 7 or 8 routines in the USAG system. Ideally, the score would be hidden or behind...

    Level 6 Bars Deduction

    One of the L6 girls I coach likes to do a beautiful 1st half on the uneven bars, at least through her squat on. On her squat on, she frequently falls backwards, catching the bar as she falls. She glides out once her hands catch the bar, and then does a kip, cast, squat-on and completes the...

    Hello everyone!

    Hello, I'm Rachel and I'm new here. I was a recreational gymnast until the age of seven, at which time I decided to seriously pursue dance. Right before my 16th birthday, I started taking gymnastics classes again. (You're never too old, right?) Anyways, a few years after that I started...
