Thank you! We have kind of talked about the petitioning, but haven't REALLY talked about it. Your nationals situation sounds similar to ours! Everyone on the team qualified, but only 14 are going. I want to say like three level 1s, five level 2s, four level 3s, one level 4, and myself (XP) are...

A little info: The only gym within a 45 mile radius is our YMCA gym that operates under USAG. This is the only gym I've ever attended. It all started when I was about 7-8ish. I was an active (read as extremely energetic) child who had zero fear. I was introduced to the sport by my summer day...

Unfortunately, my gym has no set amount of time in which we keep leo styles, which can be annoying. I do believe that the average is about 2 years per leo. 2012-2013 seasons were one short sleeve style for level four and under (long sleeves for upper levels), and for 2014-2015 we just got...

Yup! If you qualify for state, you also qualify for Nationals. One and done.

Wow! This definitely provided me with a whole new perspective, THANK YOU! I totally get it, as a gymnast myself, I understand the embarrassing corrections, and have noticed that this is where most of the sass comes from. I am not HC, and will not be around "Katie" until May-ish as I start my...

Too funny! I do that sometimes, too. Every once in a while (more like daily) I will be looking in my CB feed, open a thread, and read something about an AA score higher than a 40 and become very confused. It happens.

Thank you! This is definitely something we will try with her, and others.

The Wisconsin YMCAs' qualifying scores, if anyone was interested in knowing!

Hello ChalkBucket! My YMCA just finished up our competitive season, and we are ready to start working new skills. As the OCD person that I am, I have been looking at all of our team girls and (privately) predicting where they will most likely end up next season. One girl in particular, (let's...

Thank you! This reallu helped.

Hello Chalkbucket! I am a 15 year old Xcel Platinum. I have competed two years previous to the Platinum season that I just finished; old L3 and new L4. Assuming that I have all of my skills come next season, I am planning on competing L7. What I am understanding is that in order to get there...

Couldn't agree more!!

One more, the owner of the account always thinks that they are blocking all of the "haters" and "creeps", but honestly, with that many followers, they can't know everyone who is following them. And there is no way that you know who is behind each account that follows. It's ridiculous, you can't...

Could not agree more! The leotard thing really gets me as well. The poster generally says something to the effect of "we are not bragging in any way" or "not spoiled, but blessed". Like are you kidding me? Of course you are bragging, and highly spoiled. Burn out is sure to come for these kids.

That stuff bewilders me. I could not even fathom exploiting a child like that. I've seen ones where the person will make an account for their neighbors, cousins, and even teammates. Who has the time?
