Would anyone know where we can find Canadian Championships results for JO and Novice in near real-time? GCG's directive mentioned they would be available as judging happened (25th-27th) and I see the Sr/Jr results were generated by Livemeet but there is nothing in Livemeet for the June...
Hope everyone is fairing well. Curious if anyone has heard what a 2020-21 competitive season in Ontario might look like? Or has thoughts on what's even possible? Will Gymnastics Canada host events this year?
Looking for advice please. Our gym had a photographer in for team photos in 2017 and I just received a request and model release form asking to use DD's photos for their promotional material. No offer of reimbursement, of course! I'm not always good at identifying unforeseen circumstances...
Looking for some help understanding a skill, so I know what DD is talking about...and Google didn't help! DD said she started working on a high to low bar transition that she called a 'Barani'. I can only find reference to it for floor and beam. Is there such a thing on bars? Or does it go...
Wondering if any of the Ontario folks here have experience with, or know anything about, GO's OTIP Select Camp? Aside from what's in the winter newsletter, I haven't been able to find out much about it. I was curious how the selections are done; day of training camp or closer to the date...
...meet results from various provincial meets. I know the Ontario scores are available on Beyond the Score. Do other provinces use the same or similar sites/apps to track results?
Wondering if anyone has experience with the Florida Crown Championships they would like to share. Our gym is thinking about sending a group in 2018, and I'm curious about what to expect. It's quite a trip for us, so I'm hoping it's worth the effort. Has your DD or gym competed at the meet...
Wondering if anyone would have experience working with their school districts or boards to establish modified school schedules for high performance athletes at the elementary school level? Our Board doesn't have an existing model at all, although neighboring jurisdictions have some high school...
Would anyone have leads on where to buy really small, good quality calf compression sleeves for gymnasts? They would need to fit DD who wears 6-6x (XS) bottoms. Coach agreed we should give them a try, just haven't a clue where to buy really small (fashionable ;)) sizes. TIA
Quick caveat before I ask this question...I'm doing so on behalf of our group of not-always-CGM just out of curiosity, and not with any expectations that this becomes a real thing.
Coach has suggested that the girls will do a few US meets next year (we're thinking 2, maybe 3?) and we were...
We're testing 'international' waters in a few weeks, attending our first US meet. Any suggestions on what to expect, aside from exchange rate sticker shock?
As a parent and complete non-gymnast who can get wrapped up in the 'gymnastics cult culture', this was an ah-hah moment ormaybe cautionary tale for me:

Just a little bragging here, as well as looking for pointers. DD's first competitive season, and along with 2 of her teammates looks to have qualified for Ontario Provincial Championships, Level 6 9&10 year olds...which are combined this year. Pretty darn proud of the whole team, qualified or...
Looking for policy insight on age groups for Level 6s this year. OCP Rules book lists 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15+. But we've heard that GO is combining 9 and 10 because of low numbers. I've seen at least one qualifier that has run them separately. Wondering if anyone knows if they're together...
With the age changes this year my DD is competing Level 6 as a 9 year old (wouldn't have been able to compete under old rules, she would have been 8). I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on what impact the age change will have on the number of 9 year olds competing Level 6 this year? Do you think...
In our mid-term coach/parent interview, dd's coach suggested we work on coping strategies. From a physical perspective, dd is on point in her pre-competitive program. She's scary focused, determined and driven. She couldn't take dance anymore at 5 because in her words, 'the girls aren't being...
Hi there Canadian forum!
I just wanted to pop in to say hi. I've been following (or maybe lurking :) ) the CB forum for a while now, pulling some very helpful tips on how to be a non-CGM. My dd has just turned 8 and is on a pre-comp team. Given how she's progressed in gymnastics in just...
