    Tell me about it...

    Check out usagym.org and look at their T&T page. Lots of great info on the male athletes and the program in general. I'm not sure how much you know about it, but trampoline is an Olympic sport. I'm a T&T mom and I love it!

    Hours for T&T vs artistic

    The most my daughter ever practiced t&t was 4- 5 hours a week. That also includes the year she was elite in tumbling.

    WAG Iowa...

    Is there an online schedule? I'm only an hour away and thinking about heading down. I've heard raves about Zombie Burger, but never been there.

    Louisville

    We were in Louisville for USTA T&T Nationals in June. Some of the popular things our team did was the Louisville Slugger Bat Factory/Museum, Churchill Downs and there is a cavern (can't think of the name, but widely advertised there) that had zip-lines and a cavern tour.

    WAG Meeting top gymnasts

    My daughter's coach took her and three other team members to Des Moines back in 2007 when the governor declared Shawn Johnson Day. They were able to meet and get pictures taken with her and Liang Chow and autographs. I enlarged one of the pictures and sent it to the gym to have her autograph...

    Getting impatient! Are they ever going to decided on where Nationals 2014 are going to be?

    USTA Nationals is also being held in Louisville next summer. It was held there in the past and we had a great time. Our hotel was within walking distance of Six Flags and the competition venue and the girls loved the horse-drawn ride along the riverfront. We are looking forward to going in June!

    At what level do trampolinists typically start competing?

    USTA starts at Beginner level and you can be as young as 3. They also compete at State and National meet.

    WAG Gymnastics to tumbling?

    As the parent of a power tumbler, I think you should give it a try!

    USTA Nationals

    AAU Jr Olympics went pretty well this past weekend. DD loved her AAU National team leo and warm-ups. Very proud mom when she brought home the gold on trampoline! She was very proud of herself for beating two USTA National team members for it:)

    USTA folks what level are the National team members?

    You must qualify elite in the event you are trying out for on the national team. Current elite difficulites are tumbling 8.0, trampoline 7.5 and double-mini 4.8. There is no minimum age for the USTA National team. I have a friend who coaches in our state and he has four girls on the current...

    USTA Nationals

    USTA Nationals went pretty well (DD will argue with that!). She made finals on trampoline and double-mini, placing in the top 10 for advanced level. Missed finals for tumbling by a few tenths. Couldn't be prouder of her! In July we head to Detroit for AAU Jr Olympics. I can't wait to see...

    USTA Nationals

    Anyone else going to USTA T&T Nationals in Ft. Lauderdale next week? Looking forward to watching DD, her team and all others competing. And also some good beach time! Good luck to all other tumblers going!
