    Do you eat before meets?

    I find that I risk nausea out of nerves, but some say that they HAVE to eat. What do you do?

    Women New floor routine right before a meet?

    My DD, 10, is going to be competing at the upcoming HOPEs classic. Her floor music right now is Addams family, and definitely is a "cutesy" routine. It works at normal level ten meets, since she is always the youngest one there. However this meet will be all kids around her age at the same...

    Women Meets - the good, bad and ugly

    We just finished out our season and DD has been to some wonderful meets and some that were not well run. She is still new to competition, but I wanted to pass along some thoughts. I don't run meets, but have been involved in lots of fundraising and volunteer activities. It is not necessary or...

    Little LDW has a late report time coming up 6:30 pm warm up. Close to home. I am sure the earliest we will be done is 9:30 if lucky. Clearly won't be having dinner then We have never had such a late report time. Any advice on when to get some dinner into her? I was thinking 4-ish she is not...

    Women State meet vent

    Well I've reached the end of a difficult season. I've been battling a shoulder injury all year & for the past three weeks, dizziness & lack of balance. Just two weeks ago, it was so bad that I couldn't do a kip, ROBHS, or stand on a beam. Somehow vault was still fine though. Throughout that...

    Coaches In-house move up meet

    Has anyone ever done a move up meet in house where you just bring a judge in to score gymnasts out of level 5? At my old gym we used to for (old) level 6 but i am in a new state now and not sure how to request a judge here. Can you just do it for only your team or do you have to invite other...

    Men State meet video

    I finally have his video done. So not his best meet. Lots of little errors, but he made regionals, and is really excited. Hopefully he will have lots of great changes for regionals. (advise watching with sound off...there is a crazy lady that keeps yelling during his performances... :) )

    Women Bad meet... States :/

    I just got back from states. On the bright side, my teams l3 and l4 won. L5 came in 3 and our optionals are competing now. Well, I had a pretty bad meet myself. I got a 7.8 on bars, I fell on my squat on-something I never fall on. I made my routine flow-but the fall messed me up. Then on beam I...

    Coaches Meet Hosting Financials

    Hello all, We're thinking about hosting a sanctioned meet here next year. I'm curious as to how your gym works the financial aspect of a meet. We would like to the gym and the parents to make money. Can anyone give me an example of how you handle the financial split between gym in parents? In...

    Women Big mess before state meet this weekend:(

    Ok, dd has had a great year. Bars have been especially good, typically getting 1st or 2nd at level 7 for the past 4-5 meets. The coaches are usually laid back about States, but this year, they have really been pressuring the girls on level 7-10. My dd works directly with HC. There is a second...

    Women My first state meet. Don't forget......

    I have the honor of coaching at states for the first time in a couple weeks. I live far from the venue and trying to get organized for the event so I don't forget anything. From your first state meet or any large meet experience, I'd like to hear some tips /advice.

    My 6 year old son started gymnastics 8 months ago. He is 6 years old and level 4. I think he's unusually talented...but I'm his mom! Please share what you think.

    Parents Do your coaches use cell phones during meets and practice?

    We've been noticing that our coaches are using their cell phones a LOT at meets (to the point that a couple of the dads started taking pics of him or her using them) Is it me or should they be 100% focused on our kids!? Instead of giving them pep talks or watching them practice or even sometimes...

    Women Meet hair product ideas?

    My first meet of the season is next weekend, but I don't know any good hair products (like gel or hairspray to keep the 'whispies' back). Any suggestions? :)

    Women Shorts at meets

    Since unitards are allowed in comp. shouldn't shorts be as well? I've seen some teams compete with shorts on and I've always wondered if it was a deduction. I get it looks nice without, but theres just issues sometimes. What if a girls on her period? Or has serious self esteem issues? Or her leo...

    Parents First level 4 meet ( I would say it was a success )

    Just a little background of our journey back to competition. At the end of last season our old gym wanted to move dd from level 3 to level 5 ( scoring out of 4 and the going 5) so she could eventually score out of 5 and go optional, but she fell doing a jump to high bar and broke her elbow...
