Hi Everyone, My daughter just recently retired from her childhood/teen-long gymnastics career. Have any of you helped your gymnast plan either public or private events to help her mark and celebrate this part of her/his life? Even if you haven't crossed this bridge yet, I'd live to hear ideas...

Hello Everyone, We've been to meets that are "invitationals", "classics", and "cups". Are these terms synonymous for the word, "meet", or do they say something about meet procedures, or something else? Then I have seen "capital cups" and "modified capital cups". What do these terms mean?
