    WAG Anyone following what is happening with USAG?!?! (Rhonda Faehn asked to resign)

    The kids did not cancel or refuse to train. Practice on Thursday was cancelled because coaches were in meetings with USAG sorting out the news on Rhonda. Friday’s workout was optional and athletes and personal coaches were given the option to train. I think most did light workouts because...

    WAG Is Kerry Perry Doing A Good Job Running USA Gymnastics?

    Kerry Perry cannot provide any specifics to anyone on what she is doing to empower anyone. She is pushing her own agenda and many NT parents are angry and frustrated. The opposition is growing against her and I’m hoping she’ll he ousted ASAP!!!!!

    WAG #wst

    I get what you are suggesting but the problem is companies that sponsor are putting their name to an event in most cases. They’ll get TV exposure and be able to run promotions at events such as US classic or Championships. Sponsoring travel doesn’t get a whole lot of return on their investment...

    WAG #wst

    I don’t think any company is coming to the rescue any time soon. But I do expect USAG athlete membership to go up. That’s my prediction. They got to start adding more revenue somehow.

    WAG 2017 US Classic

    Got 9 tickets on section 117 for junior session. Tickets split between group of 5 and 4. Face value is $40 but I'll let them go for less if your anyone is interested.

    Parents Any suggestions for encouragement?

    Wish her good luck before the meet and regardless of her performance be a loving parent after it's done. If it doesn't turn out well wait a day or so to talk about it. Don't be crazy competitive gym parent and scold your child. You don't want her introduction to the sport to be negative...

    WAG Courtney Kupets new UGA head coach!

    The program is a long ways from catching up with Florida, Oklahoma, UCLA, LSU, and Utah. The recruiting classes coming into those schools will be hard to match . Suzanne needs to let go.

    Parents Question for parents of high level gymnasts

    I would look at balance between school, free time, and gymnastics. All of course are hard to manage but our deal with DD from level 4 to today has been about having enough time to keep good grades, progression of skills at each level, and having some time to be a "kid". Increasing training...

    Parents Tell Me Your Changing Gyms Story

    We moved 3 times after level 4. Most of the families and gymnasts that we met along the way are no longer in the sport. We were very professional and up front about moving and still are very social with former HC and gym friends. It's your money and family's sanity that should matter in the...

    WAG Cell phone company that works at karolys ranch??

    Girls have wifi in the room and it's good or bad depending on which room your DD gets. Sprint works but it's not very reliable. My DD also has a Verizon Hot spot that she can use as well that we bought at Bestbuy.

    Parents Sour grapes/navigating jealousy

    We had a gym who consistently won team honors at state tell our gymnasts that they couldn't wait to beat us once again. We ended up winning and both gymnasts and parents walked around the arena with many "sour grapes" comments. We just laughed and celebrated louder. Until you walk away from...

    WAG National Team Camp

    Gymnasts go to selection camp and must verify skills on bars, beam etc and are scored like any regular meet. From there the US Team coaches and Marta look at the competition and where they want to send girls and what strengths/scores will give the team the best outcome. In some cases some are...

    WAG Trying to convince DH that team is a good idea - help, please?

    RUN DH RUN!!!! Listening to compulsory floor music over and over and over again for the hundredth time will make you go mad!!!!!

    WAG Skipping optional levels

    In the end Marta will decide your fate. Not having seen you in camp or any Elite competition or qualifier yet will not work in your favor. You also have a lot of Junior National Team members that will soon be moving up to compete to Senior spots. You do not have to do Level 10 to do...

    Parents yikes! Am I becoming a CGM!

    Set some goals with dd and talk to your coach about ways to accomplish them. If she gets one of the skills her confidence may give that added boost to knockout the other ones. Just make sure it's fun for her to learn and stay positive.
