The next meet we are attending is an invitational. DD has mentioned she was told by a coach that Invitationals tend to score easier than other meets. I really didn't pay it much attention but this past weekend I heard one of her teammates saying the same thing. She is also referred to it as...
Hi all,
We are close to the end of our meet season, and I had a question about multiple sessions in one meet. For example, when there are several Level 4, 7, 8, etc sessions in one meet. How do they determine at a big meet which teams go in which session? The reason I ask is, in our last meet...
D and I watched a college meet tonight. It was Illinois, Cal and Air Force. Illinois was incredible. They posted the highest team pommel score of the season in the NCAA! 4 of 5 were over 15 and the one one that was not was a 14.85. Just a clinic on pommel horse. And the highest high bar...
My dd has had a somewhat rough year scoring-wise. She tends to move back and forth between age groups as she has a winter birthday. Sometimes she's with the youngest age group and those little girls are rockstars. I usually mentally prep dd that she probably won't medal because all arounds...
Ok, so my kid's scores would make most of your kids CRY, but it's all relative right?! All I know is that Puma Jr just had her best meet of the season. She had her best AA, best bars, and best vault which was also her best single event score all year. She had all "clean" routines (hit all...

Browsing through instagram yesterday and saw a few pics of a meet where the top 3 AAers I each group received MASSIVE trophies. Like, almost as big as the gymnast themselves. They were SO COOL. But I'm guessing meets like these must incur a huge cost?
Have total envy. We just get mostly...
How do you keep your gymmie fueled for meet sessions that run over lunchtime or dinnertime? We have a hard time getting Tinker Bell to eat much before a meet, and she refuses to eat the snacks we put in her competition bag (she claims they're not allowed to eat on the competition floor, even...
Does anyone know of any sort of Xcel spreadsheet or other kind of template used to keep track of scores over the season? I've made my own in the past, but it just seems to take me forever to enter in the scores, and there must be something quicker! (I'm not so great with xcel )
So...4 weeks after a fracture she did bars and beam. First Level 10 Meet without a fall!!!!! First level 10 meet with all 9's LOL only two events but we will take it!!!
I'm very new to this gymnastics thing, and I know almost nothing about meet scores, etc. If you were choosing a gym and wanted to get an idea of overall where they are at competitively, what scores would you look for? I have found the meet scores for the gyms in our area, but I don't necessarily...
Omg ok so I'm having my FIRST MEET EVER tomorrow and I'm SUPER nervous and I need some tips!! It's a high school gymnastics meet so if anyone knows anything at all about high school meets, please comment! I just need things like what to bring and what to expect and other things like that... thanks!!
Sophia made it through with modified routines...she had pain in her big toe joint after hitting it about a week ago so her routines were modified to minimize impact and compensate for lack of power. All in all, lots to improve on but now just hoping her foot calms down so she can make it...
I put this is WAG as it gets more traffic, but this question applies also to MAG, T&T or any other form...
What do coaches feel at meets? (other than crazy tired of course as those are long days(!!)
Do you get nervous when your gymnast is performing? Do you feel any 'pressure' for your...
My DD has her first ever meet this Sunday, she's level 3. She's feeling really confident, so are her coaches. I'm a nervous wreck!! Do you have any advise on what I should pack in her bag? How does the age breakdown usually work? I truly have no idea what to expect.
Quick question as we're getting ready for our upcoming home meet -- what do you usually have on the judges tables (the ones in the gym by the event apparatus)? We have candy bowls, water, writing utensils, paper, etc. -- do you have any decorations other than a nice table cloth? I am trying to...
Just a question on how your gym operates in regards to sending coaches to meets.
Background: In previous years, most coaches drove up to meets separately (most of our meets are between 2 - 4 hours away) and we would all room separately. We would bring 4 coaches but 2 would stay for compulsories...
