    Gyms in the Dallas/Plano/Frisco area of Texas

    As you know, everything is big in Texas!!! There are 6 districts within the state--three in the North and three in the South. For the compulsory levels, there are district qualifiers but the teams often cross district lines to compete in non-qualifiers. Actually, WOGA Dallas is in District 2...

    Gyms in the Dallas/Plano/Frisco area of Texas

    Plano is in the district 3 area. District 2 is west of Plano--for example Texas Dreams.

    Should recreational gymnasts have allegiance to one gym

    Eight years old seems like a perfect age for team. If I were you, I'd tell the current gym (assuming you like them and would like your daughter on the team) just what you said in your post--you're considering putting your daughter in classes at the other gym because she is bored in the current...

    Talent!

    Here's an interesting take on talent from Nightline the other day: Enroll Yourself in the Genius Factory - ABC News I picked up the book they mentioned--The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle. So far, it's very interesting.

    HELP ME with the BUN!!!

    At one point, I put bun instructions into our parents' manual. Here they are: Wet hair and add gel. Make a pony tail – not too high (remember they have to do a back extension roll) and not too low (they don’t want to have “grannyâ€￾ hair). Divide the hair into two sections and braid each...

    iPhone/iPod Touch app for Gymnastics Meets!

    I used it our compulsory girls' first meet. My only complaint is that it was too slow to get the girls' placements entered during the awards ceremony. I'll take a piece of paper to do that at the next meet and enter them later. Because it keeps a history and because you can email the results...

    Parents Level 3 to Level 5?

    Many gyms do not compete Level 4. Level 5 is the first level you must compete or test out of.

    Parents gym has fell apart.....

    This seems like this is the perfect time to see what else is out there. I suspect you are in the North Dallas area and know that there are many good options out there--not just that "well known" gym you refer to. No gym is perfect, but don't make a snap decision without checking out what else is...

    Grips?

    I'm with the others--don't buy grips without a dowel (palm guards). Grips are one of those things that the girls are VERY picky about. So once you've made a decision, you're probably committed to them for the life of the sport. My daughter uses Reisport Double Buckles. I made the...
