Does your gym only hold mock meets for only one program or if they do hold a mock meet do they hold it for both programs?

Is there a deduction for the bars being closer together? This would be for Xcel.

Does anyone have experience petitioning to go from Xcel to JO? Age wise, she is allowed to go to Level 6 or 7 from what I’m reading. Her coach mentioned it before but we left a pin on it. I wouldn't purse it until she made the RBHS connection consistently anyway.

Ok. Slightly overthinking probably but my daughter is in middle school and finishing out Silver. She is moving to Gold after states is done. I signed her up for a college gym camp. YAY! But now I am overthinking that she might be the only one there her age in that level. A camp isn't a...

Silly question maybe but when you apply , can you only apply to enter as a freshman or can you apply later in college? I am thinking only as a freshman but I figured I would ask.

My DD is going to a college camp this summer. What should she expect? Disclaimer : She is a XCEL gymnast and will be moving to Gold after the State Meet in May. She will be going to 9th grade next year in the fall. Likelyhood of even being a walk-on is slim to none which we know that going...

After searching a bit and filtering drivable options I found : West Chester University, University of Maryland and West VA that offer a camp. Does anyone have any experience with any of them?

Ordered grips today for my daughter with the coach. They should be here Saturday. So now what? I see videos where people bend them and water them or scrub them? Apparently I guess you don’t put them on and get going lol! So when she gets then Saturday what should we do? Thanks in advance!!!

My DD asked me the other day why she can’t go to a college team. She’s 14 so I explained the levels and paths etc. And what most gymnasts are that go to a college team. I sense she is absorbing on all this info. I believe the answer is yes but wanted to seek out your opinion as well. She is...

Can anyone give me a full insight on the full purpose of grips? At our gym gymnasts don’t get grips until they do high bar or Kip. But my DD keeps getting rips after rips even with tape that she can’t practice enough to move on to other skills. I know you can still get rips with grips but I...

Ok I’m back. Y’all helped with her connection which looks AMAZING now with virtually no pause but she can’t get the squat on now. It’s hit or miss. Not sure how to help. She says she isn’t getting her shoulders all the the way over. The difference I see is when she gets it she is more standing...

Do you use tiger paws more for support or can you compete in them or both? And how do you help wrist pain with bars? Her connection is getting much better. Now she just needs to connect the squat on with it all but it’s definitely faster! Like no pause. But her wrists are having some soreness...

Is a spot on a skill make it a 9.5 deduction? Or what is a spot deduction (if any)?

My DDs new gym is big on posting on social media. But it appears they posting anyone but my DD. Which I feel silly for noticing it but Im also seeing through a lens of of wondering why as it’s not for a lack of skills/accomplishments. My DD started this new gym back in April. She has done well...

During the winter break, my DD applied to our district speciality centers. She was accepted into all of them! So she will choice shortly after shadowing and make her letter of intent by Feb 10. My DD has her eyes set of specific universities before she was in middle school so her academic goals...

So you get deductions on how close your are to the mat or table for Front Handapring on vault? Or skills for that matter I guess? Is there a “distance” requirement?

When do you stop doing a doing a double cast on bars? My DD said her gym is having her do one cast now vs the other girls on her level.

My DD's gym had their host meet this weekend. My DD scored 38 overall and placed first at every event with all 9.4 and above. Super proud of her! And I am glad is was local so her grandparents got to watch too. That meant alot. Her gym said they don't think they have ever had anyone place 1st...

Has your gym switched from asking for volunteers at your host meets to cover the coaching assessment fee to actually charging the assessment fee? OR vs versa for going from assessment fees to volunteering your time? Do you find the assessment fee less hassle than volunteering? Would you be...

My DDs coach gave her Won(sp?) and Done tape the other day and it worked a lot better than her other tape has been. She said she wasn’t going to try and find something that would be between tape and grips. Is there such a thing?
