    Parents Advice, gym fit, level 4

    Again, I am not sure you are listening to what several of us have tried to impart. I certainly understand the desire to understand and be able to directly correlate a cause and effect. But what we are all saying is that looking at data of outcomes at L3 and 4 has no validity in this analysis...

    Parents Advice, gym fit, level 4

    I find these posts difficult to answer. I have been in this long enough with my DD to see the arc of so many girls starting and ending. Its difficult to fully tell the answer of "Am I right or am I wrong" posts when you are only hearing one side and have no other point of reference. But what...

    NCAA faith torrez- over scored vault

    The vault judges were crazy on that meet, for both teams. Bryant sticks her vault and gets the same score as Chio who had a hop?! Ballard goes 9.95 on beam?! No plenty of over scoring to go around.

    Parents Booster Club

    Fact/Textbook - Talk to a tax attorney/accounts specialed in NFPs to get the appropriate legal advice on how to remain legally compliant. Reality when it comes to booster clubs - I would estimate that 95% of gym booster clubs are non-compliant with their organization status. And I would say...

    Parents Booster Club

    I dont understand, are you asking about setting up a booster club or an alternative to a booster club. Booster organizations are generally set up as a 501(c)3 - charity organization or 501(c)7 - social club, which both have distinct requirements. The (c)3 is the NFP one with tax benefits...

    Parents Jacksonville / St. Augustine Gyms?

    I am unfamiliar with that gym, but in honesty I am more immersed in the optional world at this point. I mean I guess it depends on what you are looking for. Just a good general gym, a competitive gym, etc. The gyms I listed I have seen in Florida in optional comps and well represented.

    Parents Meet Fees & Overtime Pay

    It is very black box at most gyms from the parents side. But what Coach Kate describes is how our current gym does it too. Regardless, it stinks, but arguing with gym owners about this tends to be a fruitless exercise. If you really cant stand it, then its best to try and move gyms because I...

    Parents How to switch gym (L6)

    Yes, most gyms will allow one or a week of trial practices. The typical disclaimer though that sometimes your current gym does not take too kindly to "trying out" another gym, so you have to read the environment on that and the best way to proceed. She is old enough that she should be able to...

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

    Dad here, we are in year 4 of this, we drive about 2 hours each way every day. It has worked out for us as our daughter just committed to a top 3 program. There is no way you can do public school in that scenario, so she does all her schooling on-line. I cant speak highly enough about how...

    Parents Pain meds or rest?

    Typical disclaimer about seeking medical advice from medical professionals to ensure safety. Which sounds like you have. With that said, my DD who has been a L10 for a couple of years now, takes ibuprofen often. It is not unusual for most girls in upper levels to be coping with aches and...
