    Anon Gym quietly ending evening practices

    Curious what gym this is? You can DM me if you don’t want to post publicly.

    Injury Elbow injury. Ideas for arm conditioning

    I would see what your PT says, I was actually surprised at how much my daughter could do after elbow surgery, but I don’t want to recommend exercises that may not be safe for your specific injury.

    Parents Is there a system for uploading music before a meet?

    @Geoffrey Taucer My skills are mostly on the front end (React/javascript/Scss) and I have a little bit of a design background, count me in to help out. We could spin up a slack or discord to chat about it?

    Parents Is there a system for uploading music before a meet?

    A system like you’re talking out wouldn’t be that technically difficult to develop. I’m not sure it offers much benefit over what coaches do now though, which is plug in an iPad/ipod/phone into the sound system. Plus you’d have one more thing to troubleshoot and have coaches trying to do before...

    Women Any adult gymnasts?

    I will occasionally pop into an adult open gym, and sometimes take tumbling or handstand classes at a local aerial arts gym. Not sure that counts, but have to keep my handstand skills up to have a chance at beating my daughters at handstand contests. ;)

    NCAA NCAA athletes who don't compete

    That makes a sense to me, but coaches across all sports have already cut athletes because of this! What a mess.

    Women Regions judging opinions

    Yea, I really think that the regions that think they are "lower scoring" just aren't as strong as the "higher scoring" regions/states. Not that there aren't meets here and there that are scored harder or easier, but overall I don't think that's the case.

    Parents Most Common Gymnastics Injuries

    I think my kid must be the most injury prone ever. I’m kinda over it at this point. She must be a glutton for punishment because she keeps going back. And yes, we see a nutritionist now. Sprained ankles x100000 Severs Sinding-Larsen-Johansson syndrome Elbow OCD - surgery Dislocated shoulder...

    Parents How often do grips need to be replaced?

    This! My daughter had a scary peel of the bars a while back that ended up with a concussion and being out for 6 weeks. The grips were fairly new but I replaced them for her anyway, they were probably fine, but mentally she needed the new grips to feel safe.

    Women Regions judging opinions

    I’m curious too, where is the easy region, where should our gym be scheduling travel meets next year? 😉 We’ve done meets in Texas, Louisiana, California, NY, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas over the years and scores have all seemed “normal” to me. I just...

    Women New Regions?

    I’m confused by this comment, do gyms only choose meets within their region? We do two travel meets a year, both in random, different regions, and then the rest of our meets are in-state. A region re-shuffle would only potentially change the location for a regional meet, not other meets. Maybe...

    Women New Regions?

    I’ve only once been lucky enough to be close enough to drive to regionals, and that’s when it was in my home state. I think this is already the case for many regions. I’m also not familiar with the reasoning behind why the men’s regions changed?

    Anon Yes Nationals Matters for Recruiting

    I agree for the top girls, but what about mid girls scrambling for a walk-on spot on a lower ranked team, you don't think making nationals could help them get exposure to coaches?
