We had the 1st of 3 Level 4 sessions this morning. Judges were all level 10 judges and they started off so hard on all the girls. Usually the 8 year old group is one of the top scoring groups for level 4 but today.... Not so much as the girls were judged extremely tough. We started on Floor...
So Baby Bog had her last meet today and it was so much fun. The hotel last night was great, me and the little girls in bed together, FUN!:D
Up at 6am and off to the comp, only 30 mins drive from the hotel, yay. Started on floor, the floor judge was very, very tough. We score out of 13, gold was...
Whens your next meet? How long does your season last for? What do you do the night before a meet to pump yourself up?

My season is like pretty long it goes from december to june.

DD had another solid meet at TBT Invite. The competition in Level 10 was really decent and she held her own. Scored season best on floor, vault and beam (altho still low it is highest to date). Bars was very good but she can score higher. 35.65 AA and ended up 3rd place! State in weeks. Watch...
I have been reading a lot of posts here and I have a question (if I can figure out how to ask it). Several people have mentioned things like competing one level for a couple of meets and then competing the next level in the next month or two. How does this work?
At our gym, the girls are...
This is a suggestion for some meet ideas. :p I have been reading some of the posts in regard to competition and the seeming emphasis upon scores! There are gyms competing back levels, gymnasts held back when they should be advanced, etc. I have been there, seen it and experienced it. Also, is...

Well Amber had a big day. Today she competed by herself while her team mates competed before her. She missed the age cut off by 2 months. Anyway.....
Beam-8.6 needed a spot for the mount
Vault-8.9 not her best
Floor 8.3 she put her knee down on the backwards roll and got marked as a fall but the...
This will be our last reg 4 level meet, the next one is State which is the last weekend of March. This meet is a huge one too. Last year everyone that was pretty much at our state meet was at this meet so I sort of consider it a prestate meet, lol.
I am so glad this season is almost done...
Off later this morning to another meet for DD (Level 10). This one is very small. Hopefully a ocnfidence builder before BIG meet next weekend and then State. After the optional session, I am going to stay and practice judge the compulsory competition as I build up my judging skills (hoping to...
What do you think??
This is the style she wants to go for our big meet next weekend and for State at the end of the month... I am still unsure because for some reason... I think pigtails might cause deductions but not sure. Just worried if it flips in front of her face it is a deduction...
DD competed at Gaspirilla yeaterday it was a huige meet. The said the biggest in the US. There were kids in level 2 compeiting from the Bahamas. The judges were tough. She started on vault with a 9.4. She placed 6th because of ties in first and fourth. On beam she got on the beam the wrong side...
Hello fellow Chalk Buckets!
I just wanted to make a quick post about meets as season starts to wind down.
We were at a large meet here in Minnesota last week. Our session was a 2 flight session with both level 7's and Level 9's. Most parents at our gym sit next to each other at meets (there...
I would totally recommend the Great West Gym Fest in Idaho for any gymnasts next year. We traveled 2428 miles to attend (from FL) and it was really cool. The upper level optionals could make event finals (DD competed on bars) called the Big Show and it was WAY COOL. congrats to Funtastics for...
I don't know if it's just me but are more and more people turning up at meets with so much make up on they could be going to the dancing?
There's people that have the full fake tan, fake eyelashes, mascara, eyeliner, foundation, powder, blusher, lip gloss and lip liner on at some meets and I...
Rayna competed her 3rd and final qualifier. She had a good meet, but not her strongest showing of the season. She placed 5th on vault, 2nd on beam and floor and 1st on bars. 1st all around. This is the 1st time she's won bars, and the first time she hasn't won beam and floor!
I think...
