    Women xcel to compulsory

    Remember too that college gymnastics is more than just artistic. Lots of artistic gymnasts are finding amazing D1-D3 opportunities in Acrobatics and Tumbling.

    Gymnasts Rhythmic Gymnastics instead of Artistic Gymnastics?

    See if you have Tumbling and Trampoline or acro in your area. There's so many paths to gymnastics, try them all and see what you love!

    Parents Finish Times (Late Workouts)

    This is incredibly difficult when parents work a traditional job. Assume parent is off work by 4 or 4:30. Can't get athlete to the gym until 5 or 5:30 depending on the job. 2 hour practices or even 2.5 hours isn't enough for the higher levels to get what they need. Most athletes are in...

    Parents Meet Critique Website

    Yeah, just don't. As a parent whose daughter did artistic, Trampoline & Tumbling, and then 6 years of acro. This is her sport. Not yours. She has coaches for a reason. Trust them and let them do their jobs. If you don't trust them, find another gym. But please just don't. It's a bad path to go...

    NCAA T&T in College

    Lots of T&T athletes have made the transition to Acrobatics and Tumbling, however.

    NCAA Signing day

    It's basically the START of signing season. Many kids sign well after "signing" day.

    Anon Support after gym change

    My daughter went through it too but much younger. I think at that age she understands that things change. And if she's in high school looking towards college this is a good opportunity for her to practice learning to adjust to new space, new coaching styles, etc... I would definitely tell her...

    Parents Dismissal

    It's likely that the purchase of leos vs meet fees are handled by different entities. At our gym, previously the boosters handled meet fees but leos were actually through the gym, so you couldn't use any booster credit towards leos.

    Off Topic Selling old leos

    We always just handed down leos to younger/smaller gymnasts. As the parent of a small gymnast my daughter often received hand me downs and it was nice to finally be able to return the favor.

    Parents Competitive Parents Duties - Volunteering

    Correct, you cannot be REQUIRED to work. Huge problem with our boosters as well.

    Parents Acro Gymnastics - Changing Clubs

    I'm assuming you're not in the US by your screen name. However, in the US, you need to do it before partnering. So for us that would be early summer.

    NCAA Talladega cuts program after 1 year

    It's interesting that they added artistic AND Acrobatics and Tumbling essentially at the same time. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with the resource issue - space sharing and going for similar athletes.

    T&T Is there a website that tracks scores for T&T

    Scoresync would be your most comprehensive source I believe - but it's not cheap. There is a free trial for 7 days that I used during nationals to track our gym's athletes.

    Parents Looking for a gym for a 7yr old in San Diego

    If you're interested in more than just artistic, So Cal TTC in Poway offers acrobatic and Tumbling and Trampoline. So Cal TTC Acro just did really well at Acro Nationals.

    Women Is it possible for me to become a college gymnast?

    Don't count out Acrobatics and Tumbling. LOTS of college spots for solid athletes - D1-D3 and even NAIA.
