    Women Cheap Custom Workout Leos for Rec Competition

    Anyone know of a good brand to get a Leo with the gym name on it for like under $40?! 😅 We’re having our annual rec competition and we need custom leotards that won’t break the bank. It doesn’t matter if the design is sublimated or embroidered or made out of sequins/rhinestones, we just want...

    Women Tulle Bows

    A straightener. Low heat (don’t go over 300, I do around 275) and if it’s glitter tulle, use a protectant around your straightener (I like parchment paper). Trust me, as someone who has a small bow business, it makes all the difference!

    Coaches Front Handspring Front Handspring Vault Help

    Coaches New Level 2’s: Tips please!

    Email your state judging director! They will give you a list of steps that you need to complete and all the information (at least that’s what the one in Texas did!). I studied the compulsory code for over a year before I took the test but I feel like I would’ve been ready to take it after 6ish...

    Parents gym getting bought (?) by swim company that is adding gymnastics???

    We got an email from the owners of our gym stating that they have now partnered with Emler Swim Company (now transitioning to Emler Swim and Gym).
