I like Snowflake Designs. I especially love that their competition leotards can be done in whatever color combo fits your team (you aren't limited to the colors shown) without it costing more.
Lol, my brain was too fried to do the math ... I had spent 7 hours tutoring algebra, geometry, trigonometry, biology, American government, American history, and 8th-grade English.
Then I had to file state taxes (late) for a family friend. After that, I came to ChalkBucket to unwind.
Thank you...
The gym could redistribute the amount without involving the booster club.
If I understand correctly, if the family donates the equivalent amount back to the booster club, it would have to be redistributed amongst all of the gymnasts again ... so they would need to make another (smaller)...
D1 University of Washington has a gymnast on their team, Lilly Tubbs, who didn't start gymnastics until she was 9 years old (according to the commentators are the Pac 12 Championships).
I know there is (or at least was) a rule that leotards could not be "cut above the hip bone."
When I read about that rule, I noticed plenty of gymnasts showing their hip bones ... meaning they were purposely hiking them up, making it easier for the fabric to migrate toward any creases in the area.
Yes, you can replace the missing A skills with extra B skills.
Can you do a Front Tuck-Front Pike connection? If so, you could do that pass and the isolated front layout as your 2 acro passes and still possibly have a 10.0 Start Value.
Years ago (before Xcel), we had a girl on our team quit because she couldn't get her BHS. She came back a couple years later when there was Xcel. She still couldn't do a BHS a month before the first meet. She ended up learning a back tuck in that month and competed the RO-BT in Xcel Gold.
"sadly I have no mounts except a jump up onto the bar" ... this is called a jump to front support. Last I knew, this is an acceptable mount for Xcel Bronze, but you would need a 360º circling skill - have you tried a back hip circle?
If your team is in USAG, then Level 6 isn't required, so a score out is unneeded.
And actually, starting this year, Level 5 isn't even required if you get 36.0+ 2x at Level 4.
For our head coach, it was healing. She remembered the fun she had in the beginning.
When she became the head coach at our gym, she created a better environment for several years.
I was talking to a parent (at gymnastics ... they were from India and moved to Ohio for a job) just a couple of years ago. He said his daughter learned cursive in India. She was in 1st grade here, and in the FIRST WEEK of school, they had to have a parent-teacher conference. Not only did they...
I was working on printing with my right hand at that point. I didn't move on to right-handed cursive until I mastered the printing (the last few months of kindergarten). I was actually already ambidextrous before then, but didn't apply that to handwriting until I got in trouble with my teacher...
Perfect time to become ambidextrous. I picked it up at around that age because I was bored (kindergarten teacher didn't want me writing in cursive, so I decided to work with my right hand instead).
I know that many people have higher deductibles. In my sister's case, we do a cost/benefit analysis every year because she has options. I always help her by creating side-by-side comparisons of plan options that cover her doctors and meds so she can consider everything. A different year, she...
