    Injury Knee Sprain Recovery

    Ok, talk to me about knee sprains and recovery. My L9 gymnast has been pretty fortunate thus far and other than some broken toes, has never really dealt with injuries. She landed wrong on a front pass and injured her knee. We saw a PA at an ortho clinic who diagnosed her with a sprain, but...

    Women Level 7 vs Platinum

    Just so you are aware, even D3 schools are looking for level 9s and 10s. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s good to be realistic. Club is a wonderful option for continuing in college.

    2024 State Gymnastics Meet Discussion Thread

    I’m late to the game on this but want to brag anyway. I took an online break but now I’m back. My kid decided on a second year of level 8, but instead of coasting, maxed out her difficulty to help better prepare her for level 9. She had some consistency struggles at the beginning of the season...

    Parents Northern VA Gyms

    Capital is an excellent gym. I’m not entirely sure what area in Nova you are looking at but World Class, Paragon, Ocean Tumblers, and Gymstrada seem to have consistent optional teams every year as well.

    Parents Gold Over America Tour

    We went with a group from DD’s gym. We did not do any additional add ons. It is more of a show and for entertainment, they do not throw big skills. We enjoyed it, but I don’t think we will do it again.

    2024 State Gymnastics Meet Discussion Thread

    DD has had an inconsistent season, but finally put it all together yesterday to go four for four at her level 8 state meet for her highest AA score which was good enough for second AA and she’s a beam state champ. So proud of her!

    Women AA Qualifying Score Change for Region 7?

    Did the AA qualifying score for Region 7 for level 8 change again this year? I know last year they changed it to a 34 AA with the petition score at 35. But I think this year I saw on the website that it was back to 35 with the petition score being 36?

    Women Gabby Douglas Leaves WOGA

    There is always drama with her before the Olympics. Can’t imagine this is a good idea this close to trials.

    Anon Question about Easterns/Westerns

    Can you make it to Easterns/Westerns, or even Regionals as an event specialist without ever competing AA?

    Parents Season 2023-2024: How is your gymnast doing?

    My daughter is doing a second year of level 8 with upgraded routines this year. She’s had one meet and it was a good first meet. She met all of her goals but one and threw all of her upgraded skills. Beam is usually her best event, followed by bars, but that may change this year. She’s a pretty...

    Parents Does your gymnast care what event they start on at a meet?

    Mine prefers to start on vault or floor, the two events that require the most energy and where the adrenaline surge helps her. She does not like to start on beam, she has a harder time controlling the adrenaline rush.

    [Meet] OZONE Invitational

    This will be our gym’s third year at Ozone and we really like this meet. It’s well run, fun to compete with different gyms from around the east coast, and the awards ceremonies are fast and efficient!
