    Gymnastics-themed "Mean Girls" video - so funny!

    Don't watch this if you like Nastia Liukin. I thought it was pretty funny. Synchs audio from the Mean Girls movie with gymnastics footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpUl03m53LI

    NOs, IOs, AOs ... what do they all mean?

    I was reading the "report" from our gym's recent meet, and I have NO IDEA what the different groups are. DD is on Jr Pre-team, so we don't go to meets yet. I think NO means Novice Optional? But what about the others (IO, AO?). How are they different from "regular" levels? Why is this all so...

    Parents Mean Girls and Move-Ups

    Not sure I need advice or just a place to vent, but I am SO upset with a girl at my daughter's gym. They do a team camp every summer--over a long weekend and the girls do a lip sync contest each year. Typically they get together with their friends or an entire level will do a song. It's...

    How Do You Handle The Mean Spirited Parents

    My daughter had her first meet this weekend and got first all around. I didn't know that she would because I only kept track of her scores, not anyone else's gymnast. Two moms became increasingly nasty as the meet progressed. When they announced the winners and the all around these 2 moms were...

    What Does Your Name Mean?

    I've been looking at all the clever and interesting names that members use as handles. Most are obvious and others seem to contain cryptic messages. The same goes for the location found in our profiles. We all can understand why people would be reluctant to publicize where they live. Instead...

    Parents How does your gym deal with mean girls?

    How does your gym and the coaches deal with girls that pick on there team mates? For a few months my DD has been coming home from gym very frustrated and sometimes in tears because a team mate is picking on her - giving her dirty looks, watching her every move and telling her she is doing skills...

    Why doesn't being a good compulsory mean you will be a good optional?

    I have heard people say that being a good compulsory gymnast does not neccesarily mean that you will be a good optional gymnast. Can someone please explain why that is? Thank you!

    Parents Mean spirited parents

    Last night at the final practice before the meet, the parents were all there. Some of these women are so mean. Just cruel. You would think that at their ages jealousy would be over. As I have explained to my 10 year old about her age group, mean words come from jealousy. The jeaslousy comes from...

    Kind of mean coach

    Okay I'm a rec optional gymnast and I have 3 coaches. I've always liked them but I've started to think that one of them is sort of mean. One time, when we were lining up to do dance, I was talking to my teammates and she got kind of mad at me, I agree I shouldn't have been talking that time. But...
