    Parents newbie competition fears! help!

    dd, 7, is going into her first competition year and is very anxious about the competitions. She tells me it's the judges - what if she scores bad, falls off, etc. DD is not usually like this. She loves the yearly recitals and 2 yrs ago when she was on an in-house team, she did great with the...

    regulations for hair in competition?

    Are bangs allowed when competing? I just read that hair needs to be puuled away from the face but it didn't mention bangs. I'm assuming that long hair can't be flowing but do they ban bangs as well?

    Competition Leotards

    I was just curious how may gyms/team purchase new (design) leotards every competition season versus how many try to get several years out of the same leotard design. This comes up at our gym a lot because of cost/siblings/ hand me downs etc. Is it common to stay in same leotard for lets say 3...

    Parents Sibling competition

    How do you parents deal with siblings who both do gymnastics? I make a special effort to encourage them to look at their own improvements, and not to compare themselves to their sister or other girls on the team. However, I am still having some issues with one of my daughters comparing...

    Bogwoppit competition

    So my oldest had her first meet of the season today. This is the first of four. She came away feeling quite dissapointed with herself, as all her team mates medalled in their catagories and she did not.

Long story-I'll explain later but my dd and another teammate will be competing individually in 8 weeks, but they don't have a team or a team leo.
