Doesn't make any sense... besides levels 9 and 10 won't really change at all... and the other levels aren't actually changing - just the names of the levels are being shifted... you could call them red, blue, green for that matter... it won't matter!

We do have several tvs and video cameras set up on a delay so the gymnasts can watch it. It is great, however, the downside is that often the gymnasts are so concerened about watching it that they spend half of their training time in front of the TV instead of on the BARS!!!

The GMS Flip for the Fight meet is actually in haymarket this year at BAttlefield HS

I asking anyone who will give input? I would love to hear anyones perspective and different perspectives. I am not technically an owner anymore, had owned another gym in the past, but have a lot of autonomy in my position as we all do. Any input would be appreciated from anyone

It is a good problem to have, but it is always a balance of keeping those happy that have been loyal customers year after year, and wanting to make room for the new kid. As a program grows, there are growing pains associated and if you get too big, too fast it can be problematic. We have been...

Question for everyone... mostly looking for perspectives from owners or coaches... I work at a gym where we get a lot of local gym transfers... and I mean a lot - like an average of 10 - 15 new team kids each summer from the time one season ends to the time one begins. And regularly... not just...

APEX is our home gym and we have many gymnasts from Charles Town... they say it is about 30 minute drive, I believe

28,000 sq. ft... it's just perfect

While PREP may be nationalized.. Sectionals will be determined by each state... Virginia will still have sectionals at level 4 and 5 ... at least for the time being.... unfortunately

And some major changes are coming down in Virgina... we just received the state calendar and the level 6/7 and 5 states are almost a month earlier this year which means a very condensed season from Nov/Dec until March... woo hoo... finally!!!! I came from a state that did fall/spring seasons and...

There is no age limit. We actually have a gymnast who will be a level ten for us next year who just turned twenty...

I know in our gym and in Virginia Prep Op or All Stars in growing like crazy.. this year we had 40 prep opts... next year we will have over 80 with 30 of them being Advanced. It provides a great alternative for a lot of kids.

I always maintain that if these people are unhappy with the quality, then they will leave... they do have a choice.

I think I know exactly what gym you are referring to as we have gotten about 8 team gymnasts from there since the season ended and this has been a large complaint of theirs. Like anything, if you have competent people running the programs, it could be successful... if not, well?

sounds like something that happened years ago relatively close to here and these gym owners now own another gym... scary stuff!
