Just wondering for comparison. How does your DD/DSs gym prepare them for meets?
I am off to the library, but will post how ours does when we get home from the gym tonight. :D
How's that for a nice, non-threatening title? :D Better than last week? Did I do well?
Seriously, I don't know why I'm even reporting....I swore I would leave you all alone & not bore you w/ our details from every single pickin' meet, but...
...As I am a sucker for feedback, I decided to...
What do you guys bring when you go to travel meets? I bring my Ipod, cellphone, leg warmers, uggs, hairspray, three hair ribbons, an emergency kit (band-aids, neosporin, etc.), an extra pair of shirt and pants (for afterwards) and a mondo hairbrush... :D, a swimsuit, a camara, and a video...
let me start this post by saying that the forum will not let me do anythng but post new posts. I have sent emails with no response help... ok now to my post

I've just started taking gymnastics classes at a local gym. After one class at begginer level I was bumped up to the advanced class. I was just wonderig what level does one have to train at before being able to compete at gym meets. Note: My gym does'nt have a team but another gym in my area...
We made it home from Daytona Beach last night at midnight. It was a long weekend but we had a great time. Livi had fun competing. She enjoyed herself a lot more than in Tampa when she was sick.
Here were her scores:
beam: 8.4 (3rd place- she had two major bobbles but did not fall)

We are back! It was a great start to a second L4 season. My DD got FIRST on Bars! Last year she started off with that 5.8, remember?

UB 8.45 (1st)
BB 8.45 (4th place, never got anything over an 8 last year!)
FX 8.25 (4th, but the scores were really low on floor for some reason)...

Methinks this reeks of another "Traditional Format" meet, am I correct? If so, I am quite perturbed! :mad: NOT a good...
So after spending 4 hours sitting on very uncomfy bleachers at DDs teams meet this past weekend, I noticed some people had cool bleacher chairs.
Anyone have one? Where did you get it? I would love to find something comfy. My bum and back were killing me. LOL.
Well considering dd was sick and on lots of cold meds, she did pretty good. She seemed a little loopy and edgy from the cough medicine but I commend her for going out and doing it.
They did break down the session into 4 age groups. Last week at the her inhouse, her best events were beam...
Ok, so I've had my first meet. And it was not pretty. Not pretty at all.
Going into the competition I felt good. I was prepaired, my coach and I had worked really hard, and I was exicted because this was the first time I would do all my new routines for all four of the apprateuses. (sorry if i...
DD's first meet was this weekend, & it was a bit of a rough start to her season as a new L6. :(
First, what she felt good about (always celebrate your successes!): :o
Connected all her skills in the 1st half of her bar routine (it's been hit & miss in practice).
Stayed on the beam...
Just want to wish my DD & her gym-mates @ Bieger an awesome & super-fun season! :goodvibes:

Just wondering how other parents feel about traveling to out of state meets? In our state there are many(and I mean many!) meets within in a reasonable driving distance. So why would a coach plan out of state( flying distance) meets??? I feel the expense is just too much at levels 7 & lower. Of...
