    Parents Some wise words to us parents

    I'd like to share this insightful article with all you fellow gym parents, particularly those who are new to this sport. It was not written for the gymnastics community but rather that of another sport. But, nearly all that is said rings true. We as gym parents can definitely use his advise in...

    I like the new CB look

    It's classic yet refreshing. It's gender unbiased. I like it, how about you? BTW, it goes really well with my Electric Chaos Firefox Persona. Personas for Firefox | Electric Chaos

There are 2 other meets on schedule until the end of season. Both of these upcoming meets will be held in a very casual setting for optionals making it...

    Who else is hooked on UniversalSports?

    The title states the question... I was stuck to the tube over T'day break. (I hardly watch any sports any more) Great coverage, insightful commentaries and play-by-play, knowledgable broadcaster, little irrelevant fluff, free to watch, instant or delayed full playback coverage. What more can I...

    First L7 meeting after changes - my take-away

    We just returned from my 2nd year L7's this season's first meet (Judges Cup). I was looking forward to seeing something new and exciting due to the latest changes to the optionals requirements and scoring. Boy, was it an eye opener!

    Core strength in a gymnast

    This applies to mainly WAG optionals, upper L6s and any gymnast that is on an excellerated program. Anyone can chime in... Amongst many other traits, gymnasts are known for their extraordinary strength. Some are more strong in the upper body and others are in the lower body. Now, what about the...

    I have a gripe about contact protocol

    Alright, I have gotten in trouble for this a while ago. And, I will not do it again. But... Why is it that hosts of meets would publicly post their email addresses on the meet information sites (with no restriction specified) and would give people a hard time for contacting them concerning a...

    Parents Weekend practice

    Hijacked from another thread... I don't know what we would do if one of our practices is on Saturday. Apparently, that happens at many gyms, including the one across town from us. FWIW, we like having the weekends to free up. It leaves a lot more options for what to do (or not to do) when...

    Hi, I am unable to reply to PM. I have tried several times and none was successful. They didn't even show up on my outbox. Is this a known bug or is it just something wrong with my account? Could you look into this at your earliest convenience? To allow for privacy, ability to communicate...

    Saying No thanks to TOPS

    Since this is TOPS season, many TOPS threads are cropping up on these forums. Here comes a controversial question/topic from a different angle... Are there any parents or gymnasts here who turned down such an opportunity to train for/with the best? This can be for a number of reasons including...

    Parents team listed localreplay.com

    Does anyone else here use localreplay to organize and promote your team? For anyone interested or isn't aware, that site was created by individuals who's only motive was to help others to run their local sport teams through the means of Internet (kind of like a blend of linkedIn, youtube, yahoo...

    Optional Bars Element Groups

    I have seen references to Groups 3, 6 and 7 for one of the two required L7 circling skills. I couldn't find these skills listed as groups in the COP. Can someone point me to a document (or the pages in the COP) where these groups are identified? Thanks in advance

    A delayed intro

    Hi everyone, Sorry for jumping right into regular postings without a "formal" intro. I'm a gym parent from the Northeast who has two girls competing: one 10yo at L4 (training 5) and one 13yo at L7 (maybe training 8 but not sure). I have been for a while in search of a forum like this for...
