What were some meet gifts you or your gymnasts liked? disliked?
We are hosting a meet for the first time and I am the gym mom. I want to make sure this meet runs smoothly and also that we can host one again after. Any advice or suggestions is appreciated.
So my coach is taking a break from coaching, we just have a last meet left with her. I was wondering if I could give her something, but I don't know her that well, because I've only been training with her for 4-5ish months.
PS: I can't buy anything expensive...my parents would probably not do...
As we approach gift giving season anyone have a cool gift that thier kid unexpectedly loved? I generally try to do more experiences than "things" but it is also nice to find some physical things for them to open. Both my girls are out of the "toy" phase and aren't yet really into clothes and...

After 11 years as a competitive gymnast, my daughter is transitioning to diving. She is excited but also emotional about her departure from something that was such a major part of her life for so long. I want to mark the occasion for her in some way. Perhaps with a gift. Seeking ideas! Thank you!
To all the coaches out there -- what is your preferred end-of-season gift? Our team mom has collected money and is doing the standard gift cards and treats but we also want to do something special for our amazing coach and assistant coach. Any suggestions of gifts that have been meaningful and...
Hi, I would like to know what some of you parents of seniors are doing for celebration and gifts - I really need some ideas!
Do you celebrate the night of the original graduation date? or the weekend?
Is anyone doing drive up congrats? How does that work? Is it a surprise? Do you have...
As I'm sure many of you have done, we had started our annual collection of items for state meet bags prior to the meet cancellations. I'm the one who was to be putting the bags together. Including myself, only about 1/2 of the parents contributed items prior to the decision and no one has...
I was wondering what to give to my team girls as a Christmas gift. I wanted something fun, easy and affordable. I ended up making a printable score / note book. I'm going to print enough pages to make a book that has a page for every meet of the year. Then I'm adding a nice cover, maybe with a...
Okay, so I'm procrastinating at work and trying to think of a million gift ideas for the millions of kids in my life and coming up short! Mostly girls. Reaching out to this cool crew for ideas! I figure that it might be of help to everyone! So I'll write out the categories below and if you...
I have a little wallet-purse as a coach gift but I don't want to give it empty. Is it tacky to put cash in it? Do I need to buy a gift card? I am really pressed for time and would rather give cash if that's not weird. Otherwise it will probably be a print-out of an electronic gift card for...
Today DD's gym sent out an email saying that USAG has a rule forbidding individual gymnasts from giving coaches gifts. I have searched for a while for this rule but all I can find is a Safe Sport policy saying coaches shouldn't give gifts to gymnasts.
I'm just wondering if anyone has...
DD has such a wonderful coach and I wanted to get her a gift to say “thank you” for all the positive ways she encouraged and invested in DD. Looking for recommendations from other parents or even coaches on some of their favorite gifts they have received!
About 4-5 months ago (shortly after my dd joined her gym) I found out that the only 2 girls that live in our general area were carpooling to the gym. The moms' were happy to include my dd into the carpool but they always have a plan for who will drive. As frequently as my wife offers to drive...
Looking for new and best ideas for gifts for both female and male coaches - would love to hear from Coaches and parents what the best gifts are they have given or received. Also, if gift cards, what types of gift cards?
Hi all! What gym based gifts have you bought for your DDs that they have really liked? Mine is going to be 8 in a few months. Not equipment, but thinking more like clothing, books, doll stuff... she already has the American Girl doll bar/beam. We bought 2 new leos. She's a tough kid to shop...
Not sure if either are great, but my dd just finished her first comp season (level 3) and is super excited to be training level 4 skills.
Are either of these useful? We have a metal bar on the side of our play structure that is about the right height that she could use the kip trainer. And she...
