We went in person and it was SO much fun! My daughter has a former club teammate at Minnesota so we were able to get seats with their cheering section on Thursday night and it was crazy. It was exhausting (lol in a good way) organized cheers after every single routine. We all lost our voices...
I would absolutely travel if my daughter qualified as an alternate. They still get to do the opening ceremonies, practice day and rotate with their region. Totally anecdotal but her teammate who was an alternate last year got called up last min, I think she found out Friday she was competing the...
My daughter had surgery summer of 2024, the gym gave us one month off tutition and then we paid the full amount. Even though she was literally just coming in for an hour or so to do PT in the beginning. She didn’t do her first back handspring until 7 months post-op. It was a lot of money for...
My daughter has always straddled her giants, however her coach recently switched her to pike instead to help with her tap technique for double lay dismounts. (I have no idea how that helps, but that’s what she told me) She’s 5’2.

I can’t imagine going to my daughters coaches and asking for a skill by skill breakdown of deductions.They don’t have time for questions like that from parents. 😅 I’ve only used meet critique once, and it was more a curiosity thing. I’m not paying to run every single routine through it. I also...
I was trying to test it out with a recent bar routine of my daughters and I keep getting this judge is offline error. It’s a very clear video from the side so not sure what the issue is.
My daughter is a level 10, we do 4 regular season meets a year. Actually all our levels 3-10 do 4 meets a year. This isn’t counting state, regionals, westerns or nationals, however only level 6+ goes to state.
