    Competition Leotard Sizing

    At our level 3 meeting, we were told that leotard sizing would be around the corner in June. The head coach said that the competion size would be snug to the point where they may be hard to put on. My dd has some GK toddler leos that fit and some GK CXS that are roomier. I am just worried that...

    Men Competition Schedule

    We live outside the US and we have limited availability for meets locally to take our small boys team to. Does anyone know of meets in Florida or in the southern USA that accept international teams, level 4-5, and what time of year they are. Thanks.

    Competition between coaches?

    Has anyone experienced the negative effects of competition between two coaches in the same gym? I have heard both MAG and WAG coaches put down gymnasts coached by different coaches in the same gym and wonder how they can be in the same club? So far I have managed to shield my children...

    Dealing with the stress of competition

    I am the mom of a 7 year old level 4 gymnast. She loves gymnastics and takes it very seriously. She works really hard. She will be competing in sanctioned meets for the first time in September. How do you all handle the stress of the scores? Is it hard for your kids when other team members...

    Competition order?

    So I was wondering, how is the order the kids compete chosen? Not the order of events but the order of the gymnasts specifically? Im asking because my DD was last at her competitions this year so I was curious how this is decided. It just seems odd, not really a big deal, just odd.

    Break from competition?

    I was wondering if any parents or coaches have had any experience with gymnasts taking time off from competition. My daughter has only been doing WAG for 2 years(started out tumbling/cheer) but won her state novice age division at level 4 AAU, and this year has been doing USAG prep gold which...

    Short Sleeved Leos for Competition

    The HC asked me if I knew any rules prohibiting wearing short sleeved leos at competitions. At first I though she meant sleeveless, because there aren't a ton of short sleeved leos available, but the more I think about the more I think that's what she meant. I think the leos are coming from a...

    competition warm up

    I was just wondering how teams warmed up before competition. By this I mean before they are even allowed to go to their first event. Over the past several years of my girls competing, our team tends to just sit and do a few stretches while other teams are running, handstand pops, flipping ect...
