My favorite coach got her dream "real" job, (yay!) but that means she can't coach any more. Her last day is next week, and I wanted to get her a thank you/good luck sort of gift. Only problem: I have no clue what to give her. Coaches- anything you have really appreciated from your gymnasts? Any...
My 13 year old DD has her level 8 state meet in just under 2 weeks. She's going in to high school next year and has made the painful decision to quit so she can do marching band next year. This has not been easy, and theres been lots of tears over the last couple months, but I think she's...
our meet is going on now and we gave out t-shirts for the first year, leo's last year (along with every other meet it seemed, and this year we did feat socks. i want my own pair. they are super cute and all the gymnasts love them. it seems there will be some left over and sold in our gym's...
I just have to say, we put our daughter in the wrong sport! My son had a golf tournament this weekend and was given a weekend-er duffle bag, a new pair of golf shoes that aren't even available in the stores yet, and about $30 worth of other things. About $300 total worth. Registration fee was...
It is that time of year where us parents and families can give something to the coaches who work so tirelessly with our children. You work all week, travel to meets, deal with their nonsense.....You get them to do AMAZING things when I cant even get them to pick up their room!!LOL
What do you...
I hate for this to be my first post here, but I'm at a loss and it's getting close to crunch time to get all of the gift shopping done. Do you all get Christmas gifts for coaches? My DD is new to team and I've been trying to think of something to get. I don't know her coach on a personal level...
Our booster club hosts one or two meets each year and it is getting hard to come up with fresh, new ideas for coaches gifts. We don't have a budget yet, so at this point my committee is looking for any and all ideas.
Coaches, do most meets that you attend give coaches gifts? Tell some of your...
Does anyone have any good ideas for a large group of gymnasts for the banquet? Minimal cost and needs to cover a large age range! Would love to hear anything that people have done.
We are combining boys with girls this year for our invitational meet. Any gifts that boys have enjoyed at meets? I have girls in the sport...I know what they like! But have never been to a boys meet! Thanks!!
DD is wrapping up her Level 1 season and there is an awards "banquet", for lack of a better word, at the end of May. Is it customary/ expected to take up a collection from the parents and give the coaches (4 of them) a thank you gift? If so, how much per family is normal and what do you buy them?
Every year I get all my teammates bendable flowers, the big ones that feel like stuffed animals. Well I can't find them anywhere this year! So I need new ideas, preferably small, I don't wanna have to spend a ton of money. There are 12 other girls besides me in optionals, but I would like to get...
My DD, for my birthday, gave me a small book of coupons (3 in all) that I can cash in and she will share with me all her accomplishments at the gym that day. I plan on using them sparingly.
Or gym is hosting a state meet in early May. We have been given the go-ahead to plan a table for gymnast gifts/"good luck grams".
I'm just looking for some ideas that would sell well and that parents and girls would enjoy.
Thanks!!
At my dd's gym they have a "sister" program where they pair off an older and younger gymnast for a season. The older gymnast has a chance to be a mentor and to be a role model for the younger one. And the younger one has someone to look up to and learn from. They exchange gifts before the first...
So I am in charge of ordering the level 8/9/10 state gifts for the girls this year. Cost per girl is between $15-$20. They range in age from 10-16 years old . Any suggestions ?? Links to good online stores ?? Thanks !!!
