boys

First let me give you a little background - I basically know NOTHING about gymnastics. My parents never really put me in any extracurricular activity, and fitness was definitely not a priority in our family. Basically I spent most of my days after school watching TV. (I know, SAD) I have 2...

Iv'e always wanted to konw what was different between boys and girls grips bisides the fact that boys grips have 3 finger holes and girls have 2 please answer.

Trying to find a mushroom for my level 4 son. He has been saving and is ready to buy one. Please let me know if anyone is interested in selling. We live in Costa Mesa, CA but would pay for shipping. Thanks! Jen

My son started gymnastics on a whim, and we ended up at a pretty good gym, just by luck. its a new gym and a very small program with a good coach, but regarding stability and success over time, who knows? He is learning good technique, discipline, emphasis on very clean basics etc. One of the...

I have a dd level 7 and a ds moving to level 5. I love boys gymnastics. My ds is in a great program, he has a decent level of talent and has grown in his commitment to the sport. What I enjoy is the lack of stress I feel in his sport. It looks like he has all the time in the world to...

Anybody from around the greater NYC area? Or anyody who knows the area? What are the good, solid, reliable programs around here? Still trying to figure out my L5-to-be 9-year old son's next season which has to be in a new gym. :( Thank you for any ideas, recommendations.

I know a few of you have already been through this (congratulations on your guys' great outcomes, gymboyzmom and azgymmiemom!), but I think most of us have states coming up this weekend or soon afterward. What are your guys hoping to do? How about your gym? Any guys shooting for...

Our gym recently started a compulsory boys competitive team. I was simply looking for advice from any one and everyone on the best way to begin and successfully run a beginning boys team for the best results in any and every aspect. I know my way around the sport and the bells and whistles of...

Anyone have any good sources, or is it all just chance to find materials? Of course, like everything else, girls stuff is everywhere.... Also, is there any kind of digital form that allows you to type in scores and placements and then you can print it out with like a picture in the background...

I know girls gymnastics is a lot more well known, but where can I find information about boy programs? My son is 5 (started gymnastics a year and a half ago), and while he still has a year before he can compete, my husband and I are looking for a good program so that he will be ready when he's...

:DIn a good way!!! My ds is only a level 4 but we have seen a huge increase in our boys program. We have added another coach and it's great to see the enthusiasm and talent growing on that side of our gym! I am lucky to have a boy and a girl in a gym with strong programs. Love boys gymnastics!!!

Anyone here is familiar with men's gymnastics in BC, Canada? A family friend is relocating there and is looking for a good competitive men's program in british columbia, canada. A few names came up....Richmond, Marble, Phoenix? Anyone knows anything about any of them? any other recommendations?

This board gets too quiet :) What are your boys up to these days?

Does anyone know which gyms have boys teams in richmond? I am trying to research gyms in regards to a possible relocation to the area and am having a tough time. I have a 2nd year L4. Thanks.

We weren't planning to send our son to a gymnastics camp this year but recently learned that his coach will be out of the country for 2 weeks starting July 21st. There will be a coach there just not as good. Therefore we are thinking it might be a good time for our son to try one of the week...

Hi all! I just joined this forum, to try to find some answers for my son. My son just turned six years old. He has been taking gymnastics for three years. He honestly loves it and begs to go more. The problem lies in the fact that we live in a city where there isn't a boys program for...

I have heard a lot about the girls changing, but didn't hear anything about the boys changing, so I thought that they weren't. But now I hear they may be as well. So, are the boys changing too? Where do you get info about this? I know the stock answer will be "Trust your coach" which I do, but...

As the parent of one of each, I've noticed how differently coaches at our gym train tumbling. My DD, now a L6, did not learn a standing BHS except incidentally until she was getting ready for L6 floor if I am remembering right. Certainly not on preteam (which is about L4 for us) and not while...

Had to repost this from Justin Spring's twitter feed. Watch and Laugh FIGHTINGILLINI.COM - Video

I was just curious if someone could give me a little overview of the higher levels in the boys JO program and sort of the typical progression. Around here is seems typical for boys to do some skipping ahead and I've heard some not nice descriptions of level 8. So I guess I'm just wondering what...
