WAG Web presence for recruiting purposes?

[rjb123]

We have always preferred to have a minimal online footprint for our children. Now that DD is a level 10 (though she is still quite young and in MS) and is heading to nationals, we feel that it is time to get some things out there for recruiting purposes. What are the best sites that you think would be most useful for this purpose? We are not looking for "instagram fame" or any "brand ambassador" sort of thing. (That is not her thing either!) TIA!

YouTube is the best for this. Upload her videos and you can then email the link to college coaches. My daughter also has Instagram, Facebook and a chalk warrior and MSO profile.

We just did a youtube page for dd and sent the link to coaches whenever it was updated with videos. http://www.gym-style.com/ is a site that many L10s use to put everything in one place. IT is fairly reasonably priced for having someone else take care of updating news, videos, setting up the website, etc. Now with the rule changes, I have a feeling that these group sites will become more utilized since the coaches can go to them and check up on a lot of gymnasts in one place.

I completely agree, now more than ever it will be important to have a YouTube or other similar site for your gymnast.

chalkwarrior is a good option, Lauren does a great job showcasing the gymnast and you can include videos, scores, bio, etc.
