    NCAA Judging Accuracy in College Gymnastics

    IMO, the review panel isn’t going to make any improvement simply because the problem isn’t judging accuracy, it’s judging consistency. I can just about justify every single college score I’ve seen. Even the 10’s that really aren’t. For the most part, scores are accurate within the judge’s...

    Parents Revive ME!!!

    Yesssss, those are the days, the feelings that I am missing!!! Even though National Testing was stressful (or at least I thought it was at the time), I was still genuinely excited for it!! I got to meet my Chalkbucket friends, etc. That’s what I was expecting to get back when she started...

    Parents Revive ME!!!

    Thank you, but truth be told, that’s all her. We’re complete opposites. She thrives on order and discipline while I find comfort in chaos and get claustrophobic with tight schedules. She would prefer to set the tempo while I just go with the flow, lol! The only thing I ever really impressed...

    Parents Revive ME!!!

    I love that video and watch it almost every time I go to rewatch a routine and it pops up. My favorite part is when she tilts her little head about halfway through the run like “ugh, the run is soooo long!” Thank you for sharing this story with me!!

    Off Topic Introductions Thread (2025 Version)

    Hello all! I am a long-time member of Chalkbucket, but have not been an active poster for a few years. I came here as an excited, yet clueless mom of a talented little one and found community and guidance throughout the younger years of her journey. She’s in college now and loves gymnastics...

    Parents Food and diet ideas for female gymnast

    J used to keep fun size payday bars in her bag for emergencies when she needed an extra boost when she was young. I also used to put a little apple juice in her water bottle for practice or make apple juice ice.

    Parents Oy Safe Sport for my 17 yr old

    And until we stop complaining about ‘failed’ efforts and start offering suggestions for improvement, it never will be, but for now, this is what we got….And it is a SafeSport violation for anyone to complete the training for someone else, please report so we can make the sport safer.

    Parents Cut/create floor music

    I do not know how to cut music nor would I know where to even begin, but I bet someone at the college in the music department could help.

    Parents Oy Safe Sport for my 17 yr old

    If one of her minor teammates tells her about a(n) SA after her 18th birthday, she is considered an ‘Outcry’ witness and is legally obligated to report the assault/abuse under US law. This obligation is not limited to her gymnastics teammates.

    Coaches ADHD gymnast

    I’m an adult and have ADHD….I get spacey and careless as my meds start to wear off, especially if I forget to take my 2nd dose. Usually by the time I remember it’s too late….as a chemist, I have the scars to prove it’s just not safe to work in that state of mind.
