Well, my DD just competed in her very first meet this weekend! It was so much fun! She competed Level 3; this is technically their "off-season", but her gym hosts a large invitational every spring. As DD's been with the "old" 3's, we decided to let her compete with her teammates in her first...
wishing my dd and her teammate good luck on their first meet of the season! Hope they stick it. Have promised them starbucks for every 9 and for every event without a fall. Yes, I am bribing the kids! lol
For a first meet, not bad at all. Judging was super tough though and I was injured, which is never good but I pulled through. Qualified for Provincials! I had a really big age group- 40 girls - from numerous provinces so I'm satisfied with how I did.
Floor- 11.250. Pretty good considering I...
My daughter is 7 years old and just joined the gymnastics team at her gym. She was on "pre-team" and was asked to work out with the team, and before I knew it she was asked to compete in the upcoming meet and is now a member of the team. The gym owner recommended that she participate in the...
DD had her first meet this weekend. It was so much fun! :) She's in level 3. Poor thing was so nervous before her first rotation that I was scared she might not do it. But she pulled herself together and did great. :)
Her scores:
Floor- 7.7
Vault- 7.0
Bars- 6.0
Beam- 7.3
We were very happy...
The Fellows' first meet went so great. Well, once we got there but that is a long story.
She had a great time and felt really good about everything. That night she told me she wished she could wake up and do it all over again. I don't think we could have asked for anything better.
This was...
Well, we survived our first meet of the season. Derek had a solid meet..some things to work on, but still, did great.
And..
He placed 1st in the AA :) This is his first AA 1st place and he was so excited. His team placed first too.
Now to get ready for the next BIG meet :)
The season is finally starting. Derek is so excited :) His first meet is Saturday. And, of course, he comes home from gym last night SICK! He actually called us from the gym, left, came home, and went to bed....so you know he was sick. Here's hoping it is really short lived. He is so...
This weekend will be The Fellows' first meet ever (Lv4). It is a small invitational and the coaches are telling them it's kinda like a practice meet. They didn't do a mock meet or bring judges in so at least they aren't laying on the pressure.
For the past several weeks she has seemed nervous...
DD competed L8 most of last year, so she is kind of a 2nd yr l8
Bars: Big disaster. Low bar looked great (pirouette, high free hip, hit the handstands etc) Casted almost to handstand and missed her giant. Got back up went over on her handstand, tried again same thing. Then did a cast to...
Hi Everyone! Crazy gymnastics weekend for our family - my gymmies competed back to back on Sunday so we literally spent 10 hours at a gymnastics meet!
I'll start with little dd because she competed in the morning... I'll start by saying her goal for the day was to get an 8 on bars since she...
My daughter had her first ever bronze prep op meet. What a blast, it was really fun to watch all the girls from her team. And they won--yeah!! My daughter had some shining moments and some problems, am I ever proud of her though! Scores ranged from zero (scratched on vault, that one...

So in my years of coaching, I've always managed to be the in the gym help that doesn't need to go to meets and participate in all of the stress (oops, I mean fun...) associated with the process. I'm pretty comfortable playing a background role in most aspects of my life, so hearing all of the...
DD has her first meet ever tomorrow (L4). If you could throw some good luck her way, it'd be much appreciated. She is SO nervous! (And so is Mom, but trying not to let it show!:cool:) Thanks and good luck to any DD/DS's competing this weekend!
