Finally a meet where Cate felt she did her best on all events. Parents who have been through a couple seasons of competition can share my joy in a no "what if" meet. This Meet was on a Saturday afternoon, and it seems like this is her best time to compete. The whole team did well, there were a...
The top teams in Minnesota compete in divisions A and AA for the state title. In A Perham is favored to take the title and in AA Roseville is favored to take first and St. Cloud Tech to take 2nd.
Are meet fees this crazy everywhere? My son had a level 5 meet a couple of weeks ago. We had to first pay an $80 Fee to enter him, then travel, then hotel, and then $15 dollars per adult and $10 dollar per child (under 10-year-old). For our family, that was an additional $55. (Our gym only...
Ah the travel meet. That was so much fun, meals out with the coach, the girls and the parents. Checking out the ice sculptures in the nations capital, the girls in the pool. All good.
Then the meet. DD has been coming back from injury for a long time, keeps hitting road blocks, but she has...

My DD is competing her second year of Level 7 this year. Her coach has asked her to go to level 8 twice, but she made the decision to stay in 7. She wanted to have a year where she did well in meets and got good scores.
The problem we are having this year, is that DD is putting so much...
Well Emily had the last of her Meet string.... This one in our gym... The team was divided into too sessions for this meet... Ages 6,7 and 8 in the first session which started at 12... the second session was ages 9+.... We have 30 level 4s on her team but only 6 of that 30 are 8 years old, and...
Well I managed to do it, for the first time with music this time. I hope you all like it.
You can't hear the original floor music, because I decided to put other music over it, becaue there was so much noise in the background, you couldn't hear it really.

WHat a disaster! We just went to a meet (Level 4) and the tallies/scores for the gymnasts who got awards were wrong. They showed our girls with "0.0" on floor, when actually we got 9.35, 9.25...some of the higher scores. Additionally, when a coach went up to correct a score/award, they actually...
with my DD, DDs best friend and her sister and mom. It was a blast. The girls (both gymnasts) got to see a real meet and also some pretty awesome gymnasts. They even got a poster and our home teams girls all signed it. They were sooo excited. I had fun playing around with my camera trying...
My dd has pre meet anxiety and excitement. Today at practice she kept messing up her floor routine. I am nervous that this is an indicator of how she will do sunday. She has nailed the routines in the past. She read this book tonight about this penguin who was nervous before competing in this...
Emily had some tough competition again. I don't know what is with the 8 year old groups at meets but boy they just throw up the highest scores of all the age groups in every meet. First of all... there was 4 teams at this meet however, there was 30 8 year olds among the 4 teams. This meet...
dd had her 2nd level 10 meet. Overall pretty good. Bars is her best event and she really bombed it today! I was most proud of the fact that she pulled it together and stuck beam and floor. Thought beam score was a little low but it placed. Ended up 5th AA...not too bad. She knows she can...
