    Anon Upgrades during meet season?

    Curious - does your gym have the girls work upgrades during meet season? Our gym doesn't but I've seen quite a few that do.

    Parents Advice for how to handle shifting teams now that the meet season is over?

    Hi all! We're wrapping up our first competitive season and looking for wisdom on how to handle the upcoming team shuffles. My daughter really loves her teammates, but I just met with her coaches and they are moving her from Silver to Gold. This is unexpected for us as she joined the team late...

    Parents Changing gyms right before meet season?

    Is it possible to change gyms right before meet season? Will the new gym suggest gymnast simply train and sit this meet season out or can the gymnast compete given that choreography, etc is from the previous gym? How does this work?

    Parents Need advice: I am dreading this meet season

    I feel like I am the opposite of a CGM. I am struggling to muster enthusiasm for meet season. This is dd's 6th season and I'm just... over it I guess? I love my dd and I'm so proud of her and all she's accomplished. But there are times, especially recently, when I wish she would move on and...

    Parents Alabama Xcel meet season?

    Can anyone tell me whether Xcel follows the JO compulsory calendar for competition in Alabama (starting in August)? Or what the Xcel season is like here? My daughter is currently preteam in a JO-only gym that starts competing at level 3, and I think Xcel may be a better match for our family in...

    Parents Mental Block During Meet Season

    My 8 year old daughter has developed her 2nd mental block with her BHS. Her history goes back to getting it 3 years ago this month. She was doing Rec classes at a Turner’s program and expressed interest in competing. I was not comfortable with their program and we visited a USAG gym in our...

    Parents Finally Meet Season is Here!!

    I feel like it's been forever since my DD has competed, she and I are both so excited that her meet season is about to begin. To be fair, she has done one in-house meet (this was around Thanksgiving) and she also competed at the Peppermint Twist meet (first weekend in December) but this weekend...

    Parents sleepovers during meet season?

    Whenever DD (7.5) has a sleepover she seems exhausted for the next day at least. She has just been invited for a sleepover this Friday. On Sat she has both 3 hour gym practice plus a rare private with her coach -so I'm leaning towards saying no for the sleepover. Her first meet is next Sat...

    Parents Anyone else hate the competitive parent they become during meet season?

    I love my gymnasts. I love to watch them during the summer workouts (when I can make it). I love to watch them goof around at home. I am so proud of them. Why is it, then, that I am dreading meet season? I don't like that I feel negative about another child (why did they get that score, my...

    WAG Spring meet season starts a week from Saturday

    I have to admit that I'm a little nervous for the start of spring season. My daughter has been having a blast working Level 5 (and even some Level 6) skills. With all of this up-training, though, it doesn't seem like the "I'm competing Level 4" mindset is there. I hope she and her team can get...

    Meet Season "Stress"

    I have a question... The parents at my gym refuse to do just about anything during meet season - they can't do fundraising during meet season, they can't attend a parent meeting during meet season - the list is endless. I understand that weekends are busy during meet season and although my...

    Parents Meet Season Questions

    Halfway through meet season & Update **Semi-Brag Alert**

    Just wanted to give everyone an update on Dani. She has finished 3 meets and every meet her AA score goes up by 1 whole point or more :) (1st meet 31.50, 2nd meet 32.80 an 3rd 33.75) :D. So, she is on a nice steady roll and will hopefully "peak" at championships in May. The girls started...

    Parents You know meet season is closer when...

    You get the meet times for a meet! Just found out when Beth competes at the Chicago Style meet--first thing Saturday morning--blech! She likes morning meets though as she gets done and doesn't worry all day. And at least she isn't competing Friday, so we can fly in on Friday (and she only...
