I would recommend her looking at Orlando. She would not be able to train and go to high school in the same location since high school gymnastics is not really a thing (I know there are some places that do exist, but If one is serious about training I am not sure about the quality). I would...
As a local resident and a Gator through and through, congrats!! And welcome to the Gator Nation! Its an amazing campus and support group. The academic center is top notch, the heavener complex is amazing. You have some travel ahead of you though lol.
Idk, I mean, one, its not your gym, not your problem, and two, do you know for a fact, like seen paperwork or been privy to those conversations, that these vacation homes were "gifted" to the coach? How do you know he/she is not renting them at some favorable rate? It kinda comes off as a bit...
Pretty much same experience as Tys Dad. June 15th shre received offers from most of her initial calls. The rest came during the home visit. As far as why she chose that school. I can only speculate, but the culture of the team really seemed to resonate with her.
Welp, I cant believe it, we have made it to the last L10 season for my dd. She is fortunate enough that she will be competing in college, but bringing the DP journey to a close seems like such milestone. Given that we still have several months before the final ride starts, I was wondering if...
Its been about 8 years since we did it so things might have changed a little, and my memory might be a little hazy, but it was over 2 days. One day physical abilities testing and the second day skills testing. If I remember correctly it was maybe a half day worth of time each day so like 3-4...
We have been to that meet several times. For us, just staying in one of the airport hotels there, either the Marriott or the Renaissance is the most convenient. College Park is about a mile walk away that has some neat little restaurants. Depending upon how comfortable you are walking in...
For what its worth, I believe tiana sumanasekera has used the same floor music for the last 5 years with different choreo There is nothing wrong with doing it, it just depends on the gymnast
My thoughts:
Can you train high-level gymnastics (elite, L8-10) without a pit? Yes. Is it the optimal training environment? No. There is just no combination of pit pillow, coach oversight, one-day at another gym, etc. that makes training without a pit as good as training in a gym that has a...
Really its up to you. Most questions have probably been answered via the weekly calls leading up to the visit. Some follow-up with questions or topics that might have been brought up during the calls might be covered during the visit. Like if you brought up FCA during your calls, they may...
Our visits were during football season. Arrived that Thursday night. Friday morning started early, and went through dinner around 7-8pm. The order of these things might differ from visit to visit, but all had these basic elements:
Attend a practice (if youre going off-season not sure how...
Good luck to all those that are getting ready to start this crazy, frustrating, fun, tearful, goal reaching, anxiety inducing process. I hope everyone gets the calls they want and maybe a few surprises (in a good way) that they weren't expecting. Remember if you don't get a call/text tomorrow...
