I read a post in another thread saying that many big meets were already canceled for the 2021 season. I figured that I'd start a thread so folks could list those meets in case anyone else is curious.
I'll start with The Gala in Asheville, NC. Not huge, but a pretty big and well attended meet...
We just found out our gym is planning only 4 in-house meets, some sanctioned with Judges in hopes of then attending State, Regionals and Nationals (they don’t want to risk any Covid exposure and have to quarantine per coach). DD is a Senior, third year L10 set for D3 or walk-on D1 (on the cusp...
On the topic of meet schedules, my daughter's gym is considering trying one NGA meet for higher level optionals. One reason is curiosity about how the NGA meet will go. Another is the possibility of qualifying for post-season for both NGA and USAG and having flexibility to go one route, the...
Wondering if any of you whose kids have been back at gym for a few months already DON'T have meet scheduled or any word on meets yet. We've been back since mid-May and have not heard a word about whether the gym is planning to forego the season or do some in-state and drivable meets. They have...
Good day. I am a mid 30s adult trying to learn a handstand. Before I started any sort of tricks training, I made sure I was in my normal weight range. After quitting my office job this May to be with my little kid all day, my strength and cardio weekly routine took a turn for aiming for a...
So according to MeetScoresOnline, meets are starting to post. Granted they are posting for 2021 but there may at least be some sort of a season. I know my brand new lvl 5 would be excited. He's picked up his circles, muscle up, and working on spindles and flairs now. Would love to see it all put...
As I'm sure many of you have done, we had started our annual collection of items for state meet bags prior to the meet cancellations. I'm the one who was to be putting the bags together. Including myself, only about 1/2 of the parents contributed items prior to the decision and no one has...
Tonight was the third meet for my level 4, and she finally broke the “9.0 wall“ down with a 9.225 on beam! She also won floor for her first win on an event this season, and scored a 35.550 AA, which means she won’t have to repeat level 4. Whew! She still has a lot to work on and improve...
alright coaches; have you heard from your state/regional chairs regarding possibility of state/regional/nationals being cancelled due to the continued coronavirus outbreak? especially troublesome given:
Norcal State: california bay area
Region 1 Regionals: california bay area
Westerns...
Hi everyone! I’m a level 6 gymnast and very disappointed in my scores, which are sevens and eights. Beam is usually exactly an 8 unless I don’t make my handspring which I am starting to get mental blocks on (so help with that please!)
I would’ve gotten an 8 at my bars, but I can’t connect my...
My daughter had her L6 meet today. Her team was divided into 2 separate sessions. She is asking me how her teammates did in the session following hers and none of the L6 sessions have posted today. I didn’t track her meet because WiFi was spotty and I am running low on data, so I was unaware...
Just curious. My DD got sick this past weekend with flu like symptoms. She has been fever free since monday and went back to school and practice yesterday but she is still coughing and her energy level is not back up to normal. She has a meet Saturday and she wants to compete. Practice yesterday...
Oh friends, please help. We had to buy a used meet leotard for my daughter as she grew like 5" since we bought her original one last year. She just turned 10 and definitely sweats, but doesn't really have that tween/teen true body odor yet. So she wore the used leo for a meet this weekend and...
Hoping to get some parent perspective or advice. My two daughters have been doing gym for quite a while now. Both are well into optionals now, and you would think I would be calm at meets after all this time. I am the type of person who has always been pretty anxious at gym meets or just any...
Hello! I was wondering if anyone could watch some of our recent meet videos and give me some possible deductions, so we know what to improve...Some are pretty visible but some I don’t know! Thanks in advance!
PM me if your interested!
My DD (13 yo level 9) sprained the toe next to her pinky toe when it tucked under on a vault landing three days ago. X-ray confirmed no break and she can walk on it, do trampoline, no problem. It is a little swollen and hurts to tumble/land. Not a big deal injury, but we have a travel meet in...
My daughter competed her first ever TNT meet yesterday. She had some highs and some lows. She received 2nd place for trampoline and double mini. Well she was happy with that. :D on the rod floor she messed up her second pass. She started too far up and didn't complete her pass before she got to...
An update: My DD was really struggling 2 weeks ago with her series on beam. She was focused on only what she couldn’t do and not what she could do. It was to the point she was thinking about scratching beam. Then we had a pretty nasty snowstorm (10 inches for us just shuts everything down) and...
So this is the opposite of a brag alert. My dd had her worst meet ever today (age 9, level 4). I’ll admit, I privately shed some tears. Deep down I felt she wouldn’t have a great meet based on how she’s been practicing,, but I certainly didn’t expect such low scores.
We always see the brag...
