    I loved the tiger stripes from lsu, however the weird exposed shoulder and asymmetrical open back was a crime

    Women College Club Gym

    I love NAIGC!! It is so fun. Overall it is more casual. In the midwest region, it is very casual. It is an open gym style practice, and women can do the men's events, and men can do the women's events! You can also do the decathlon (all ten events combined).

    Women Xcel to DP questions

    I would say that platinum is the equivalent of levels 6/7. Could you totally get to level 8 by senior year! You would have to petition though

    Parents Sudden Fear

    Their is a way past this. This isn't that unusual for gymnasts, it's called a mental block. If your gym does privates I would schedule 1 or 2. At this private her coach could focus 1 on 1 with her. Slow down the skill, spot, drill etc.the key is to work slow, and progress back up.

    Parents Thoughts on invite to Xcel bronze ?

    I also prefer Xcel, but before you commit I would make sure that if she wants to go DP in the future that the gym will allow that. Some gyms don't have much movement between the programs.

    Women Xcel Diamond SV?

    maybe she could a round off bt-bt connection? It's a little unusual but it would work. Or maybe a front tuck step out-ROBT? I would have to read the rule book to make sure that one would work, but it is in the same pass, so It might.

    Parents Planning a HS Meet

    cowgirl/country/western is an easy theme! An easy way to incorporate this is with cowboy hats, plaid, etc.
