    Women Florida meet suggestions

    My team is looking for a meet for next season in Florida that hosts mens and womens teams. We do NOT want to go to Orlando, and would like to avoid anywhere to close to Disney lol. We would like the meet to be held some time in January. Or if anyone can suggest another warm weather meet in...

    Coaches Floor Music- How do you bring to meets?

    Just curious what other people use to play their FX music at meets? 2 season ago HC had an off brand MP3 player that was not at all user friendly and I was put on music duty at states and managed to screw up. I now have pretty terrible music anxiety at meets. Last season I used my own iPod...

    Men Flew to Chicago for a meet...to not compete

    We went to Chicago for the Windy City Invite hoping Nate wouldn't get the flu like his twin brother had earlier in the week...well- he got it! He didn't get to compete at the first optional, out of state meet we've ever tried to go to. On the up side, we DID get to see a city we normally...

    Parents Meets and nasty weather

    Have you ever had a meet cancelled due to weather? We are right in the middle of where the big ice storm is supposed to hit tomorrow and through the weekend. They are calling for 1/2 inch of ice! Our gym is hosting a meet this weekend despite there being a no travel advisory issued. Owner...

    Parents What to expect at our very first meet

    My daughter's very first meet is next weekend at the Excalibur Cup. Gymnastics is a new sport in our family and we have no idea what to expect. Would someone mind giving us a basic rundown of how it all works and about how many gymnasts she will be competing against? She is 7 and will be...

    Parents Meet leo stinks - help!

    So my cute lil' 9 yo gymmie was super stinky after our meet this past Friday. I walked into my room where she was hanging out watching her ipad (and still in full leo attire) and couldn't figure out what the smell was.... So I made her immediately get up and shower and put her uniform in the...

    Women How many meets per year?

    Just wondering how many meets your kids go to? From the sounds of it it's a lot more in the US than here.

    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...

    Women Need some meet suggestions near New Jersey.

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for some ideas as to what meets I should try in my area. We're based out of New Jersey, so I'm looking for some competitions near my area. We've done meets in Pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut. The time frame would be from February through April. We've tried...

    Parents Out of state meets?

    Does your gym mandate that gymnasts travel to meets across the country? If so, at what level does that start? DD is in level 3, and so far "traveling" meets have been optional, but I think that changes for us in level 4 or 5, when she will be required to fly to two meets in states too far to...

    Women I have a meet coming up with hurt chest & iffy skills

    So I have a meet coming up in about a week. Recently I developed costochondritis, which is basically inflamed chest. I've been out of gymnastics for 2 weeks, and my skills on beam (and like 1 on bars) are iffy. What do you suggest I do at home to help? I have 3 practices left before the meet, so...

    Parents Chicago Style Meet - any suggestions?

    Looking for your input. Even though we live close to Chicago, this will be the first year DD will be attending the Chicago Style meet. The JO program at our gym has always gone, but DD is Xcel so this is the first year she can go. She is very excited! We are planning to make a weekend of it...

    T&T First Meet in the Books

    Mobility meet for DD was yesterday. She did great! She was disappointed in her trampoline score, BUT I keep trying to tell her a week and a half ago she still was missing a skill so she should see it as a win and know that she has 5 months to polish it. She did get a mobility score on...

    Women Meet question

    Our gym is hosting a meet using a modified Capitol cup format. How many timers do we need for vault? (One gym set up with 2 sets of equipment for flights A & B). I am thinking just one, but thought I would ask here :) Thanks.

    Women gifts at meets vs other sports

    I just have to say, we put our daughter in the wrong sport! My son had a golf tournament this weekend and was given a weekend-er duffle bag, a new pair of golf shoes that aren't even available in the stores yet, and about $30 worth of other things. About $300 total worth. Registration fee was...
