Dd was sized for leos last week and she is in between sizes. I am not sure what to do. All of her measurements fit into a child xl on the chart, except her torso, which is at the upper edge for jr medium. normally, I would go the size up, maybe even go to an A-small (there is no a-xs) so she...
This is my fourth year in gymnastics & will be my third year competing. I will be competing as a 16 year old P3 or P4 (comparable to level 7 or 8 I believe). Competition season starts in January & my birthday is in December.
I have the most terrible awful competition nerves EVER. I get very...
We are headed to DD's first ever TOPS competition this weekend, and I have no idea what to expect. Can some of you parents (or coaches) give me the low down? I really have no idea of even the basics - Is it an all day competition? Are the girls separated by age group? Do parents watch? Are...
It's been almost 10 years since we have changed our team leotard. Our gym has decided to change it this year...but how do you do it?
We recently got a new catalogue from gk. We found one that we like, and want to see what it would look like with our team colors. I get on the gk website and...
DD is not ready. I hope she enjoys it, but for the first time she has got upset about gymnastics. I've told her that it will be good practice, and that it will be good to look back from the next one to this one to see how far she has come, but you can see it is bothering her. I know she will...
What are the differences between the competitive artistic gymnastics programs in the US? I get the impression JO is typically seen as the way to go if you want to get far, while Excel is for older beginners? I'm just totally confused and feel I have the wrong impressions
I had my first competition of the season yesterday and it went fairly well can't remember scores but I think it was 10.050 for vault (out of 12.4), 11.2 for beam and I don't know my start value but I'd say it was 13ish and 11.7 for floor with a start value of 13.70.
Vault was interesting -...

Does anyone know when the Hopes Competition is for the Secret US Classic? I know the Juniors and Seniors are Saturday afternoon/evening but I don't see anything listed for Hopes. Also, if you have a ticket to see the Juniors and Seniors does that allow you to watch the Hopes competition too or...

My girls competed in three compulsory levels and they did amazing! In level D my girls got triple victory! I only had three girls in that level and they all placed and got so nice trophies to get home. The girl who placed 1st improved her AA score by...

We recently have been away and got back late the night before the competition and in hind sight she was...
My dd as been asked to take part in a competition near the end of the year (her first), she is reluctant to do it and the gym needs an answer in 2 weeks. The competition is for cheerleading. My dd will be 7 just before the comp. I don't want to ake her do something she doesn't want to do, but...
At the meet my daughter attended yesterday, the boy's area was adjacent to our area and we could watch a lot of the competition as it was going on. We watched the end of an L5 and then the warm up and beginning of an L9/L10 (I believe).
It was SO cool and I was surprised at how big the teams...
