    WAG Plz help (Level 7 routine construction)

    I would talk to your coaches. Gyms differ in what they allow their gymnasts to compete even if it works for a specific level. None of our girls were allowed to do a cartwheel roundoff series for L7 beam. Not sure if those routines listed above meet the requirements for 7. My gymnast did L7 years...

    WAG Shorts for competition

    My dd uses the 3" under armour shorts and the only logo is a small one. The waistband does not have a logo like the nike pro.

    Parents Meet fee evenly split across all levels-typical?

    At my dd's first gym, each gymnast paid the registration fee for only the meets that she was attending. All meets were mandatory except if you had something extremely important that you couldn't miss. The coaches' fees were different for each level depending on the distance of the meets, number...

    Coaches Gymnast Win

    At both gyms my kid competed for, the coaches gave high fives, hugs or fist bumps after competing. They were not really concerned about placement but working towards improvement. The gymnasts get their special recognition at the awards ceremony on the podium and receive their medals. Is anymore...

    WAG Minimum # of Meets

    My state says that you need to get the qualifying score at one sanctioned meet during the season to qualify for the state meet. I recommend that you check to see if there is information on your state's website because the qualification rules do vary by state.

    Gymnasts Gymnastics to Cheerleading

    My daughter made the transition from gymnastics and is now doing cheer in college. She never did cheer before college. The transition was not too difficult but did take some time to get used to tumbling on the dead mat while wearing shoes. She just started with the basics like roundoff back...

    Parents State Teams at Regionals (Region 8)

    There were no state teams for Xcel in my state/region but it could be different for yours. I would find your state and region's website and see if there is any info. You could always ask your coach as well.

    Coaches Reasonably priced long sleeved leotards

    My daughter always loved her plum practicewear leotards. We never had their long sleeve competition ones though but it looks like they have some nice ones with good prices.

    Parents Typical commute to gym for collegiate hopefuls in level 9/10

    Our public high school has a program that allows some student athletes to go to school in-person for classes in the morning and then leave around 11:30. They take the rest of the classes online asynchronously through a program approved by the school district. I'm pretty sure it was 2 online...

    NCAA Do I have a shot at Division 3 college gymnastics? (Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!!)

    You could do some research on the gymnasts on the roster of a few D3 colleges that you might consider attending. Check them out on mymeetscores.com and see the general makeup of the team. You won't know what skills they competed but you can possibly get an idea of what they might be looking for.

    Parents Looking for recommendations on grips

    When my kid was L5, she also had tiny hands. She used pixie buckle dowel grips. We got them online at ten-o.com

    Coaches Gymnast mum clueless lol

    Yes, it definitely does. Happened at my kid's gym to someone who violated one of the policies in the handbook.

    Injury Has anyone else experienced something similar?

    Sorry to hear about your situation. I would recommend talking to your gym asap and see if there are meets they have not registered for yet so they could refund you the money for those.

    [Meet] Gym meet

    I could be wrong but the A skills that I see are kip, cast, kip, squat on and tap swing 1/2 turn dismount which is 5. If platinums can't do that dismount, that would add up to the 4 that the judges said.
