I had never seen that video before but I am laughing so hard. As a parent of a level 3 and level 4, gym life revolves around kips. Pretty sure our coaches have had the exact same conversation multiple times! “Susie believes if you let her she will be able to start kipping.” “Susie also...

Oh my, no no, we don’t even get new uniforms every year, they are too expensive.

Agree with everything WV Gym Mom posted above. This was our first season with lots of meets and a few travel ones. Meets are expensive. The meet fee for our meets were usually between $60-115 per meet. We did 8 meets, plus states. Plus the coaches fee. I had a bit of sticker shock when I got...

I really appreciate your help! You are not picking her apart at all, these are all things I had no idea about. The bad part is, I don't know if DD really knows this either!

Thank you! It was a pretty rough season. They only had one competition in 2020 before everything shut down, and when they started up four months later, it just seemed like the girls were always trying to play catchup, never quite ready for their competitions. I am so thankful for you...

Thank you SOOOO much!! This was extremely helpful. I realized she had a lot of form breaks but I had no idea about the value of the deductions. I really appreciate you taking the time to go through her routine for me. And I have a feeling that DD has no idea either. I'm not positive that...

We get basically zero communication. Once I did email though, because we were concerned, and I got a very prompt reassuring email in response, which was good. I always tell my husband that the coaches at the gym are there because they love gymnastics, not because they are great at...

Thank you, this helps a lot! I really appreciate it!

I posted this in the Parents forum but I thought it might be better suited here and get more replies. I would appreciate an explanation of how this bars routine was scored, from anyone who knows. This is an Xcel Gold routine, and I definitely see a lot of little deductions -- bent hips, feet...

Hi, I would appreciate an explanation of how this bars routine was scored, from anyone who knows. This is an Xcel Gold routine, and I definitely see a lot of little deductions -- bent hips, feet not together. But is there a big deduction somewhere? She scored a 8.2 on this routine, and...

Yay! That’s great to hear. Can’t we volunteer to lend them our devices for the afternoon for the home meets then??

Hey there! Yes, the Spot TV viewing was so terrible. We were basically watching a tiny little pixel the whole time. But one thing I learned was that the app is much better than the website, so next time, try using the app. The picture wasn't any better, but it wouldn't freeze, so instead of...

Hello fellow gym mom! I am so excited for this weekend’s meet! My dd only had one meet last season so she is excited to do another one. I hope I can watch the older girls too. Good luck to your dd!

R7 here, virtual meets are planned and they were originally thinking of going hybrid before the numbers spiked. Are no other areas doing virtual meets? I’m hoping as long as the meets are virtual, they won’t get canceled even with these higher numbers.

Awww. Look at it this way, you saw how she was struggling today and you were able to give her a big pep talk that she needed because you were saw it. It’s good that you saw it, despite how hard it is to see our kids struggle. Hugs to you and your daughter.

Our school district and most of the ones around us are doing virtual learning for the first quarter/semester, so all fall sports through schools are canceled here, but club sports are restarting so baseball, soccer, indoor swim is on. Football and basketball are still up in the air, but at...

It is so crazy that Michigan is still not allowing anything to reopen. I read up on it after seeing your post and not even private lessons are allowed. Is Michigan the only state that’s like this? What about pools and other sports? I’m sorry. “Discouraged” is a very polite way of putting it.

Stop it. That picture can not be real. What kind of magical place is Minnesota?! Congrats to your daughter for finding a great gym for her. It sounds like a really good fit. That’s awesome. Enjoy!!

I'm sorry. That is a really long time and I feel your pain and frustration. Your daughter is such a high level too. That truly stinks. I feel like when my kids went back to swim (outdoors) and gymnastics, covid life became much more bearable and happier for everyone. I really hope you get...

Meetscoresonline works for my kid’s meet this weekend. It’s probably the people running the meet forgot to hit the “publish” button.
