    No Amanar for Gabby

    I think something we can all agree on is there is no spark when it comes to Gabby. Heck, even she agrees: "I just haven't felt the same passion. I'm not giving up, but I know by Sunday that something needs to change." -SI article written July 9th. We all know that things don't just change...

    Parents Spinoff-how many left?

    Of the 13 girls on DDs original team in 2010- ranging from Level 3 to level 5 that year (a very small gym) all within 3-4 years of age, 5 are still gymnasts and only one remains of the original team. Two left for another gym and are competing Level 7/9. Another is at a different gym competing...

    Biles vs Douglass

    My question is this: With all of these comps going on before Rio, why are we not seeing more Biles vs Douglas? It always seems like one or the other is there, but not the two together. Am I mistaking? Is Marta trying to keep them in a good mindset by not letting them compete against each...

    WAG What do you do at your "End of Season Banquet"?

    Our team has gymnastics superlatives sorta like senior superlatives. The girls all get to vote. There's enough for each girl. HC hands them out at banquet with a little trophy that has what their superlative is. My dd was voted most flexible last year. Funny thing is HC daughter was voted most...

    WAG Question about team wear?

    I do agree that the coaches should have final say, but it would be nice to have a voice. I mean after all, we do have to pay for them. I can appreciate that it's the owners gym and all, but never forget that the parents are customers

    Parents social group for L8 and L9 parents

    And yes. That is what I'm saying.

    Parents social group for L8 and L9 parents

    So any discussion not pertaining to L8/L9 social group is not welcome? I'm not the one who brought up the point of there being a particular number of responses needed in order to join a group. That WAS part of the discussion last time I checked and I did not initiate that thought. Although my...

    Parents social group for L8 and L9 parents

    So 47 posts is not enough? I guess this one is 48... Not enough yet? This entire situation reminds me of those moms (you know who they are because every gym has them) that sit around the gym every practice and gossip about everything going on at the gym and otherwise. You make an attempt...

    Parents social group for L8 and L9 parents

    I just want to vent a little about these social groups.... I've asked to join the hair social group and also the level 6/7 optional group and have been declined by the moderators for apparently not being active enough. I've been a member since 2011 and while I don't post all of the time, when I...

    WAG Wrong group? Venting.....

    You could just ask. In my experience if you approach the subject without being confrontational the coach has no problems explaining their reasons.

    WAG Tickets to 2016 Qualifiers (AT&T, P&G, Secret Classic)

    I am really interested in getting tickets next year to one of the gymnastics qualifiers (AT&T, Secret Classic, or P&G) but was curious to see if anyone has gone to one of these events recently because I have some questions. First question relates to cost: how much am I going to have to shell...

    Acro?

    We just started with acro this year. Our gym is not yet competing it, but perhaps in the future. Dd is a 6/7 in USAG and acro has helped build up her strength. She likes it. I can't wait to see where the sport goes from here!

    Off Topic More Hair

    This works really well for my youngest DD who has fine hair too. You can do it while wet and spray with hairspray!

    WAG Ideas for a gift table at state meet.

    Someone did headbands with the different gym names printed on it in rhinestones. They were a big hit! I also appreciate pins that the girls can add to their bag like "Made it to states!" and "State Champ," etc...

    WAG The perfect gym website

    I always enjoy pics of the team/events the gym has offered. I understand you would need everyone to sign a release, but I can't stand when everything is outdated. And yes, everything you mentioned would be FANTASTIC!!!

    WAG Floor music - overused? (overwhelmed!!!)

    So my daughter was instructed to pick a few pieces that she likes and one of them is the Harlem Shake :eek:

    Favorite protein bars and drinks?

    We love Kind bars and Lara bars. A bit pricey, but there's usually less than 7 ingredients and you can pronounce them all. Protein should be the least of your gymnast's worries.

    WAG Leotards... sport bras... spandex... etc.

    DD wears only GK leos. She has tried other brands and did not like them. GK has collected thousands of dollars from me. I deserve some free leos! Also she wears shorts. She never used to. At old gym, no girls did, at new gym, all girls do. She likes the Under Armour ones but really likes...

    WAG Avulsion Fracture of 5th Metatarsal

    Thanks everyone. Will see ortho tomorrow. They had no appointments today. I will let you know. She's in a ton of pain which makes me worry because usually she is a trooper.

    WAG Avulsion Fracture of 5th Metatarsal

    Anyone ever have any experience with this? DD hurt herself tumbling last night (landing in a crack in the mat) and this is the diagnosis from the ER. Going to see ortho tomorrow. What are healing times like and are they ever the same after?! Thanks!
