I know you don't want to sell anything but if you get professionally made raffle tickets and sell them for $5 each, you can make quite a bit of money. The site I use for tickets cost $41 for a 1000 raffle tickets. Raffle off an iPad mini or something and have the booster families sell the...

Parental jealousy is real. And that is sad. My DD is a pretty good gymnast but we don't feel it so much at the gym because we get along really well with the other parents and DD gets along with the other girls. With our other kids though...wow. Two boys quit my son's baseball team. One of the...

Everyone in the family who doesn't have another sporting event goes. DD only has about 9 meets a year so her older brother and sister don't have a choice if their teams don't have games. My wife and I attend every meet.

It would be nice to offer a week free trial period before purchase especially since app is $3.99.

We did this fundraiser for my son's baseball team and raised over $3500 with minimal involvement from at least 3 families. Each family donated ten dollars worth of scratch off raffle tickets. We bought 1000 professionally made raffle tickets for $41 and sold them for $10 each. Each family was...

I took my daughter to Secret Classic this year. My wife took her to P & G in Indianapolis. Both meets were great. I'm not sure if they choose the host venues for this reason but there wasn't a bad seat in the house at Secrets.

She might also want to look at some of what our more famous gymnasts have accomplished after retiring. The sport teaches many skills that translate into real life: discipline, perseverance, mental strength, fearlessness, networking skills (my 9 DD is friends with many of the girls she competes...

Please add me to this group. Thanks.

My DD competed in her first L3 meet in Nov 2010. She competed two seasons at L4 starting in the 2011-2012 season. Having her repeat L4 was the best decision the coaches ever made. The first season her scores started in the 33s and got progressively better until the Spring state meet where she...

My DD goes to Buckeye in Westerville. One of her coaches at Buckeye accepted a position at Perfection a while back and she still hugs him when she sees him at meets. There program puts out quality gymnasts as well. The coaching at CGA is also top-notch. My DD competes against and is friends with...

Keep being supportive. All the great athletes (in any sport) push themselves harder than their coaches and are never satisfied with their game, skills, etc. This is a good thing if managed properly so unless you see it becoming an unhealthy obsession, I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't spend a lot of time in the gym but the mothers who do say that after the first week (when all our girls were star-struck) Gabby has not been a distraction. They all say that she is putting in the work as evidenced by her performance in Jesolo. To answer your questions though...no Buckeye...

OK, thanks everyone. This my DD's first time competing at Chicago Style so we are unfamiliar with their processes. I will check the link above later today.

My wife said the same things. They do have the scores from 2014 posted on the website currently...I just think that they would make a point of trying to get the scores posted as quickly as possible after each session and surely after the meet was finished. I guess that I am just spoiled because...

Does anyone know where I can find the results from the IGI Chicago Style meet? I am deployed and while my wife gave me my DD's results, I still like to see how her teammates did. Isn't it a little unusual for a meet as large as this one not to post the results as soon as possible after a session...

Just to follow up on this comment I made a few days ago...this young lady was offered a full ride to Alabama today by Coach Duckworth. She is in 8th grade.

The young lady I am talking about was on the elite path and undoubtedly would have scored well enough at the qualifiers to become an elite. She simply decided one day that she wanted to be a kid again. While she may not have the "elite skills" to which you refer, I think her head coach (3 elites...

I will weigh in on this one. My DD turned 9 last October and is currently a L8 gymnast. I think she is a pretty good gymnast for her age and she followed the path that many of you have mentioned: she competed two years at the old L4, competed new L4 and L5 at the same meet, skipped the new L6...

Just one day. It is Saturday afternoon between the second and third sessions. It is scheduled to start at 4:45 but you know how trying to set hard times at a gymnastics meet can be.

Aerials, where are you coming from? Which gym? This is the meet that our gym hosts. It is a BIG meet but it is really well-run (probably because they work us parents like slaves). Anyway the march-in is a fun time for the girls as a lot of them dress up for the meet's theme which changes each...
