    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 Camera for pictures at Meets

    I’m looking for a new camera for taking pictures at meets. I’m looking at a Canon Rebel T6, but I’ve been told the shutter speed might not be fast enough? What cameras do you use and/or recommend?

    Parents At a meet, would it bother you

    if a coach from another gym took your child by the arms and physically moved them over for no reason other than that they wanted their athlete to have more space on the runway? Coach did then speak to the child for a second and give a high ten. Full disclosure-not my child, but the whole...

    Women Home/score out meet

    Hi, My daughter is 9 and her gym is hosting a in house meet at end of April for just her team to score out of level 4. I am just wondering if judges tend to score more generous for these types of meet. I have heard that they do, but ofcourse I am nervous for my daughter who still doesn't...

    Women Meet Ideas in Chicago Area

    Would anyone be willing to share with me any meets that they know of in the Chicago/Peoria/Rockford/Iowa City area that typically have some smaller gyms that compete JO, but are still well run? Our head coach is open to meet ideas and it would be nice to go some to some where the big gyms are...

    Women State meet extreme nerves

    My dds have state meet this weekend, they are both eager to please, type A, perfectionists. My younger one is extremely nervous for the meet and she keeps saying "What if i don't make regionals?" "What if I fall" and i keep telling her "You've gotten 36.8 plus at all your meets this season!!!"...

    Parents Swimming before a meet

    I understand that most of you are in a different boat. NY DD is a low-level gymnast in her first season competing. I know that she wants to do as well as she can at her meets, but since she’s 8, I’m making some of the decisions for her. She’s improved at her meets as the season has progressed...

    Our gym usually going to one fly away meet per year and I was not too excited about the location we went to this year. (The meet was fine.)

    Women when a meet is listed on MMS will they post the scores?

    Wondering if MMS always posts the scores if they've listed the meet. One we were at has not made it's way onto the site yet -wondering if this is a glitch or intentional, and if we should expect it to update at some point, and if so, when?

    Women College meets (Gators, specifically)

    Does anyone know if they sell shirts and stuff at Gators gymnastics meets? Going this friday, and wondering if we should try to get to the campus store first, or if there will be things for sale at the meet. Thanks to anyone who's been there and knows!!

    Women Teams Praying before/during meets

    I just recently noticed several videos where teams are huddled before meets praying. Is this the norm in America? Where I'm from this would be deemed as inappropriate practise purely because of a wide range of faiths/non-religious in each gym. I'm trying to get my ahead around it because...

    Women Words of wisdom after a disappointing meet

    I'm sure there is a post somewhere on this but I can't find it. My daughter (level 3) had her worst meet ever today. It started on vault and went downhill from there. She was state champ on vault so to score an 8.6 to start off the day I think threw her off completely. I tried to focus on her...

    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...
