    Parents Beam requirements

    Parent to two diamonds. Seems like it should. We have a teammate who does cartwheel cartwheel combination, and a round off back tuck dismount. 10.0 start value I believe.

    Anon Travel meets are too much for us and I don't know how to explain that to the coaches... Do we get kicked out?

    I definitely recommend talking with the gym. That seems like a lot to require gymnasts at the lower levels to have to fly to meets due to distance. Our gym only has one meet a year that requires airplane travel. And only the levels 8-10 and diamond attend. If they say that the meets are...

    Parents Flip Fest Camp in TN

    My daughter and her teammates have gone and they loved it. Some have gone back two or three years in a row. My daughter wanted to go back last year but had too many other things going on. Good mix of gymnastics and fun as the previous poster noted.

    WAG Grips-do you really need two pair?

    The night before my daughter’s out of town meet, we were running to the store to purchase a glue gun as the Velcro on her grips was hanging by a thread. Needless to say, mom was not very happy. As others have stated, it is important to monitor the condition of the grips in order to purchase a...
