    Parents Choosing floor music help

    Our floor coach is super picky about music. A current song or popular song will be not be approved. This year, she provided 3 options to my daughter as a starting point but my daughter didn't like them, so we picked about 9-10 more songs and her coach picked the winner. She's a gifted...

    Parents Anxiety new to team

    See how the first few practices go! If she's not normally anxious, it might be the unknown of team. It's also possible she was told it is going to be hard work - which it is, but that doesn't need to be scary. Assuming since she's new to team, this is pre-team or a lower level...which means lots...

    Men Atlanta Area Gym Recommendations

    What part of Atlanta? City proper or suburban? There are a few gyms ITP (in the Perimeter, a label for city of Atlanta and in-town suburbs) but I only know of one that has a boys program - Atlanta School of Gymnastics. There are many many gyms OTP (outside the Perimeter) but depending on where...

    Parents Senior celebrations?

    Our gym does a little announcement at a practice towards the end of the season with a cute gift that aligns with where they are going to college. This year it was a storage container cube thing with their college logo filled up with stuff they can use in their dorm room, door dash gift cards, an...

    Parents Criteria for Xcel vs DP

    Since the rules changed a couple of years ago, they've only done level 4 routines, 2 meets, to obtain the 36 mobility score twice. Girls start the level 4 learning late summer, scoring out in the fall and started competing 6 in the spring. No level 5 routines or score out.

    Parents Criteria for Xcel vs DP

    More and more I am not seeing many gyms who even have compulsory around our area (major southern metro). Many gyms use Xcel until level 6. The criteria at that point for who moves over to DP and who remains in Xcel is sometimes talent but mostly appears to be who is interested in the time/cost...

    Women Xcel Cons

    You'll find a lot of varying opinions on this depending on your region and whether or not xcel is being use "as intended". In our region, xcel is commonly used to bypass compulsory. Golds work on and compete level 6 skills, for example, and then many transition to level 6 the following year...

    Parents Can you still order a regional leo if you decide not to attend (but qualify)?

    Yes we've already committed to a new gym - but would have to go to regionals with the old gym. In our region, Leos are extra and not part of the entry fee.

    Parents Would it even be a meet weekend

    It has never once worked during a meet for me. meetscoresonline is normally the most reliable but if you're in a large convention center or large building I feel like the final scores nevvvvver load - but maybe that is intentional per the above poster! ha.

    Parents Can you still order a regional leo if you decide not to attend (but qualify)?

    Hi - does anyone know if you actually have to attend regionals in order to get the leotard? We're in the midst of a gym change and debating whether attending regionals is worth the extra time at current gym. My 11-year old really wants the leotard though. Region 8, if that matters.

    Parents Team Size?

    In our experience, the size of the training group doesn't matter as much as the style of the coach(es). Our current gym has 2 coaches for levels 6 - 8 (about 25 girls) and they event split, so one coach handles beam/floor and the other does bars/vault. The team is split and they rotate, doing...
