    Women Competition Leotards

    I love, love, love the red and purple leotards from Make It Or Break It, would it be wierd, wrong, or something to buy the same leotards in the same colors. I am also wonder if it is wrong to copy leotard colors/ designs exactly for national competions.

    Parents Competition leos... how to know if it's too small!?!?

    This is my daughter's first year in competition, so I don't really know what to think at this point. All along our coaches have been saying that the leos will be "very tight" and need to be stretched out. But we finally got them on Saturday (first meet is this Saturday) and when I tried it on...

    I was wondering how many meets most gyms do a year and what are the competition fees. We do 8 plus an in house starter meet. I paid around $1400 this season. The leo was $150 and the warmups $120. I was told by a mom at another gym that her daughters fees were $800 and the Leo, warm ups, and gym...

    Women Competition undergarments

    *attempts to be discreet* I'm having trouble finding a good sports bra for competition! I'm a bit more made out than the average gymnast & I can't seem to find something that, um, "squashes & supports" for lack of a better word. GK bras aren't cutting it this year. On another note: to anyone...

    Women Competition Leotard Deductions

    In USAG Meets, does anyone know if there is a deduction for Competition Leotards with a large circle hole cut-out in the back? What is the deduction? Would it be taken from each of the 4 event scores? We have never seen these at any meets, but they have been ordered for team this year.

    Women Craziest competition gifts!

    What are some of the strangest gifts that you/your daughter have ever received in a competition? For me, they would be a casserole dish:confused: and a red, blue and yellow leotard with a superman logo and a cape collar. It wasn't the supergirl by Nastia, it was a real SUPERMAN leotard!:D And...

    Women optimal level to begin competition?

    The discussion of the new level requirements has me wondering: What are the advantages and disadvantages to competing at the very low levels (current L3/4), and what is the optimal level for most girls to begin competing? (Average kids, not future elites.) All the gyms in our area start...

    healthy competition in training group

    My older dd is one of 5 or 6 girls in her training group that are all 11 and training Level 9 together. It is fun for the most part because they are all the same age and same interests, and in the same place in their lives. Having said that, it is also a bit competitive. I think generally...

    My daughter finally hit her front mill in competition! She's a level 3 and that's been the one missing skill she has.

    Men Competition formats

    Why are there so many different competition formats? My son had his first "true capital cup" format yesterday, and let me tell you, we hated it. It seems dangerous too! He is a Level 4 guy, so I think feeling comfortable on the eqpt seems to be the most important thing. I know he has told...
