    Parents How important is the state meet?

    We are closing on a house in a different state in a couple weeks. We’ve been planning on staying where we are until our daughter’s state meet in mid-May. But it recently occurred to us that maybe we don’t have to let gymnastics rule our lives. So we’re considering the possibility of, you know...

    Anon Travel meets are too much for us and I don't know how to explain that to the coaches... Do we get kicked out?

    We have 2 or 3 travel meets every year, and this is our second year competing. I have 2 kids in the DP (3 and 5), and they usually have a meet one day apart (e.g. Fri/L3 and Sun/L5), which means more expense for the hotel. The first travel meet was close and next to our state, so it was...

    Parents Last meet scores not showing up online

    Hello! My daughter had a meet a day ago (it was a small one) and the scores are still not posted anywhere online. Is this common? She did really well and I would like to think that her scores will be recorded. Thank you so much.

    Parents Annoyed - flyaway meet where only competitors were teammates

    Hi all - please give me a reality check on flyaway meets. We just returned from a weekend meet where we paid for flights, 2 nights hotel, and all the other stuff that goes along with travel to find that our only competitors were our teammates (in our age group). Is this normal? This is our 2nd...

    Parents Attending travel meets when injured?

    I'm kind of struggling here and could use some advice/perspective. My daughter (level 10) is injured again. We are still awaiting results from the MRI, but I'm not feeling terribly confident she's going to compete this season. Her first meet was last weekend. It was a 5 hour drive and to a...

    Parents Travel meet advice

    Hi! We have our first meet further than 2 hours away in a few weeks and I’m not sure how to handle travel plans. DD is 9, usually sleeps 9pm-6:30am. Doesn’t deviate much from this on non school days. She has to report at 2:30. We live about 4.5 hours away. Due to sibling schedules, our...

    Anon In general, how accurate are mock meets in terms of scoring?

    Hi, does anyone have any wisdom to share about the accuracy of mock meet scoring? We are not new to competing but new to this style of mock meet - ours was judged by a USAG sanctioned judge but we were only given the score on each event, not any kind of insight as to what the deductions are. I'm...

Just wierd its missing a complete Level of kids. But when I even searched my daughters name she doesn't appear as...

    WAG Meet nervousness

    This is so frustrating! I can do all skills so well at practice but I don't know what happens at meets. I just get super nervous and do bad. Especially on beam. I fall off, have a lot of wobbles but none of this happens at practice. Sometimes on bars. Like today, i bent my legs in a cast...

    Parents Canadian meet scores?

    I asked this question in a slightly different way last year but am still trying to figure it out. I have a friend in Canada who has a daughter just starting out. She is trying to figure out if her gym will be competitive in the upper levels if her kid continues in that direction. I could point...

    Parents Big Optional Meet Question

    So, despite having done this for a few years with my older kid, the last two seasons she competed were so impacted by COVID that there was very limited travel involved. That said, can you all remind me of approximately how far in advance the bigger meets (WOGA, Hill's, etc) publish the schedule...

    WAG Warmup/stretching while waiting turn during meet

    Hi All. During a competition, the team will warm up during the allotted "warm up" time. Once competition started the gymnasts are allowed to warm up prior to their turn on each event. My question is when the gymnasts are just sitting there and waiting. Are they allowed to stretch/warm up on...

    Parents How Far are Your Average Meets?

    The post on "Travel Meets" got me wondering how far most people travel for regular meets. My daughter is level 4 and in the Spring season our gym competed in 4 meets. Those meets were 396 miles away, 138 miles away, 467 miles away and 358 miles away. Apparently they kept it close in due to...

    Parents Is the travel meet worth it?

    Our gym doesn't do many out of state/larger national meets, especially not for Xcel. This year, they're sending P/D/SA to a big meet in Florida. We live in New York. The meet is optional, but obviously DD really wants to go. However, it is in the middle of the school year, so it would mean...

    Parents Team Score calculations at meets not adding up?

    I've recently seen a different team win the team competition than what www.mymeetscores.com calculates as the winner using the traditional 3 top score format. There's also no explanation at meets on what criteria they use to calculate team scores. Do some meets take age groups into...
