    New or old competition leos for this coming season?

    Well, this past season the lower level girlies wore black leos with pink trim. The higher level girls wore pink with black. Last year I was able to buy a used leo for Kadee. Well, this year I was expecting to have to buy her another used one, because she has outgrown the one she has. But found...

    What information do parents need/want to know before the first competition?

    Communication at my gym is not great, but I am trying to be better than the average. I am planning a notice to the families to cover some useful information for those who have never done gymnastics competitions before. Any suggestions on what to include would be helpful. What you were told...

    Pants in Competition

    Ok i was watching some youtube videos and noticed one girl was wearing pants over her leotard in a competition, not shorts, pants. I was curious as to why and saw in the comments that she had an injury so that wearing a leotard was painful but she appeared to be wearing a leotard under her pants...

    Competition for Levels 1, 2, & 3

    My question is this: Are there any gyms in the New England Area that host or compete USAG Levels 1, 2 or 3? This has been an ongoing debate at our gym for some time. There are coaches that believe the Levels should not compete and others that do.

    Injuries and competition refund

    I was wondering if there was a USAG policy on getting a refund on the meet if your child is injured. I had heard somewhere that you could get a refund with a note from a doctor. Is this true? Or do you just suck it up?

    Getting independent feedback on competition footage

    I have heard that there is some place gymnasts can send in footage from their meets and have a judge send them back specific feedback for a fee. Does anyone know anything about this?

The video of it isnt very good, a coach from another team was blocking most of it. The bars she got 8.05, 4th...

    Competition Leotards

    Itchy Competition Leos

    Does anyone have advice on how to handle a child with sensitive skin? My daughter complains about how itchy her leo feels and ends up breaking out in hives sometimes after her meets. We have tried to use powder and that helps a little. Also, she has used liners but doesn't like how they feel...

    How many routines leading up to competition?

    I'm sure there are so many ways out there, but I'm curious what you do as a coach and what parents have experienced. I started thinking about this because some parents at DD's gym were talking about gyms they had left and the mom said they did too many routines. Then another mom said they left...
