    MAG First meet in the books

    We survived our first meet of the year, and it went well for us. 2nd AA by .2 is a good start, especially after leaving swings out on high bar. But the cherry on top of a good meet was the coach finding me to rave about my kids... wait for it.... focus and leadership with his younger...

    WAG Level 10 take 2 first meet report

    Sophia made it through with modified routines...she had pain in her big toe joint after hitting it about a week ago so her routines were modified to minimize impact and compensate for lack of power. All in all, lots to improve on but now just hoping her foot calms down so she can make it...

    Parents 1st meet ever!

    My DD has her first ever meet this Sunday, she's level 3. She's feeling really confident, so are her coaches. I'm a nervous wreck!! Do you have any advise on what I should pack in her bag? How does the age breakdown usually work? I truly have no idea what to expect.

    Parents Great first meet of the year

    DD was pretty nervous coming into this first meet of the season. Her favorite coach left for college, she was struggling with her cartwheel and handstand on beam out of nowhere, and that back extension thing on floor was all of a sudden hit or miss... But today she rocked it and had her game...
