    Parents How to tell if a meet is sanctioned

    My DD has a meet this weekend and the email sent out with the info said this, "Awards - No rankings. Goodie bag and all around medal only. (We will handle the goodie bag)" I was under the impression that, per the code, there has to be awards to 40% for each event and the AA. Does the lack of...

    Parents App for tracking meets

    Or gym is hosting a state meet in early May. We have been given the go-ahead to plan a table for gymnast gifts/"good luck grams". I'm just looking for some ideas that would sell well and that parents and girls would enjoy. Thanks!!

    Parents Nervous about meet but not for the normal reasons..

    My DD has a meet coming up in Reno, and I have started to research hotels etc. We have a really old (2001) car that's not 100% reliable, so I planned to rent a car to drive to the meet. Then I found out that rental cars do not rent or allow snow chains to be placed on their tires. Driving from...

    Women How to become a vendor at meets??

    Hi, I make and sell leotards. I have an Etsy store but honestly do not sell much on there. Almost all my leotards are sold in the gym to rec and I do the team leos. I was just wondering if anyone knows how I would get my foot in the door at a meet. We don't host any meets at our gym. Any ideas...

    Parents Really rough meet, but turning it into a learning experience!

    DD has never fallen or missed a big skill in competition, so this meet was devastating for her. She hasn't been scoring all that well (She's doing Xcel Gold until she can score out of 4/5, so scoring high is not HC's goal) but she's been getting dinged on form and wobbles, so in her mind this...

    Women Tapering before a meet for better performance?

    I know in running, before a race, it is good to taper the workouts to optimize race times the day of. Is there the same benefit in gymnastics? I noticed that at my daughter gym, they train the full 5 hours the day before a meet. I'm guessing they don't do intense conditioning that day, but even...

    Parents Meet Raffle

    Hi all. I'm chairing the raffle committee for the meet my ds's gym hosts. I'm wanting to be creative and efficient in the way we approach raffle. In the past, we made parents shop and put together baskets and it was determined to be too burdensome and it wasn't clear that the return on the...

    Women AAU meet for USAG mobility score?

    Our compulsory teams compete USAG in the fall and AAU in the spring. Due to coach changes last fall, our L4/5 had a really rough fall season, with very few even qualifying for states (AA 32). Things have improved and my DDs rocked their last USAG meets but several teammates have not been...

    Parents Who coaches your kids at meets?

    We have a pretty large team and they are often split in to two groups within the same session. However, at this point we only have one coach and she often judges the sessions we compete in. The plan for the next meet is that her children will coach the boys. Both are fine coaches, however...

    Men How many meets?

    How many meets do your boys compete at each season? Our Level 4s are doing four meets plus states this season, and I know the coach intentionally went with fewer meets because this is the boys' first season. I looked at what a few competing teams are doing and their L4s are doing 6-10 meets...

    Coaches What do you wear to meets?

    What do you wear to coach in? I usually wear some sweat pants to coach in, but I'd like to look a bit nicer at competition. Nobody wants to see me in yoga pants, but that's about all I'm finding in stores. I know we're not supposed to wear jeans. Are khakis okay?
