    WAG Security issue ... need to contact My Meet Scores

    I very much need to contact My Meet Scores. I have carefully protected my child's privacy by having her compete under her legal name while she is known in the world by a nickname (call name). Unfortunately I just noticed that a former gym meet somehow inserted her nickname into her legal name...

    I'm a level 4 gymnast. I practice with levels 4 and up. I am the oldest by around 3 years. I'm in a small gym and have always had issues with getting along with teammates.

    Coaches Body tension and other issues

    Hello fellow coaches, last year I created a group of 5-7 year olds. I started them from the very beginning and it immediatley clicked. They came in eager to learn, progressed fast and in the process learned how to listen, take corrections and how to behave in a group. They knew how to hollow, to...

    Parents Booster Club Issues

    We have just began our second year as a booster club and it has been nothing but a headache. I have never been part of an organization that has parents who go so far out of their way to make other parents miserable. Our president has worked really hard and we have had very little help or support...

    WAG If your dd has fear issues...there is hope!

    This time last year dd was having such fear of giants we were looking at the possibility of a 3rd year of L5. The fear had already caused her to do a 2nd year of L5. (Our gym doesn't do L6 and requires giants for L7.) She eventually squeaked out some giants and they let her move to L7 in...

    WAG Motivation issues in DD training L8

    Hello- new here but hoping for someone with experience or advice. My DD is training L8. She excels at floor and vault. However, bars and beam are more of a challenge.

    Parents Level 5 squat on issues

    My level 5 DD is in mid season now and is still struggling with her squat on. I thought by now she would be hitting it consistently but she is only hitting it about 50% of the time. It's very frustrating because her coach sends her to condition whenever she misses it as if she's doing it on...
