    Women Meet & greet with collegiate team - how would this jeopardize NCAA eligibility?

    We are going to a meet next week that will have a collegiate challenge one evening. There will be a meet & greet with autographs when it is over. There is a notation that it is for 8th grade and younger, as 9th and over would jeopardize NCAA eligibility. I don't have a high schooler, this is...

    Parents First Meet of the Year....in the books

    It came....it went...we kicked its...well you know... First meet of the Year is now over and in the books. Pretty happy with DD as she placed on Beam and in the All Around. She made some silly mistakes on the over events. Ones that I haven't seen her make before. Like a hand slipping on the...

    Parents State Meet Vent

    Dd did a great job at the State meet but I need to vent. Beam is really her event. She sticks the CW 90% of the time and never messes up at competition. I was soooo sad to see her wobble big time, but she saved it ( she didn't fall). With the first place going with a 9.125, the coach was certain...

    Yah she landed her geinger at her home meet

    Three meets into the season and she landed her geinger in her first meet. And how sweet her own club qualifier. Boy did she need this to help boost her confidence. She has smacked her face on the bar twice with this release in the last month. She said when she was landing she was like...

    Women My Meet Scores Question

    I know they are not 100% accurate by any means, but we have a TON of gymnasts under our club name who have never been here. I don't see any way to get them off, and they are bothering the owner. ;-) This is my job BTW, so not just being picky.

    Men First optional meet

    DS has had a long gymnastics road. He is competing L8 this weekend on 3 events for the first time in 2 years. It is a big meet that happens to be at his home gym. He asked us NOT to go. He said he thought the pressure would be better without us there. I totally understand, but feel I need a...

    Off Topic Undergarments for meets

    I can't find the right ones anywhere! We have VERY HIGH CUT LEOS! And normal briefs don't work, and I would prefer not to spend $30 at gk. I got some for about $10 online that hopefully work, but they might not. And bras, one that's not just a piece of fabric and will support, I mean I don't...

    USAIGC Copper meets - what to expect?

    I am a USAIGC Copper gymnast and my first meet/season is rapidly approaching! I am pretty nervous, as I have never competed before and don't know what to expect. If anyone has competed USAIGC Copper here, can you tell me what IGC meets are usually like? Deductions for appearance of gymnast (like...

    Parents How to handle dd's younger brother at meets

    So eventually I would like for both my wife and I to attend dd's meets. Although I realize that having a 3 yr old sitting still for 4 hrs is pretty much not doable. What do u guys do with your other younger children while at meets?

It was a small, low-key inhouse meet between a local gym's two different locations and they invited my team and I to join. The judges gave personal...

    Women How do meet warm ups work?

    So the first meet ever is this weekend, Sunday, with a 9:00 AM report time (could be worse, right?). I got the email from the meet director with all the details. The meet format is modified traditional. What exactly does this look like? How do the warm ups work? What should I have them do during...

    Women Level 8 meet question

    Does the Psuk have a lower start value then yuerchenko? Also I notices some girls front pass consists of front handspring, front lay front pike and other girls don't add the front handspring in. What are the pros and cons to this and does either way fullfill the level 8 requirement?

    Women First meet tomorrow

    I coach the level 4s and 5s and meet season is finally about to begin. It's been a long wait. I am excited! I think this is the best position we've been in, at the beginning of a season, since I started working with this group four years ago. They look good but have a little room to improve...

    Parents Friday Meets

    Not that it's happening to me, but I'm curious at everyones response regarding meets that extend onto a Friday. I've recently seen one where the gym is having AM sessions on a Friday. I know if that was my DD, I'd be a little perturbed that she would have to miss school. What are your thoughts?

    Women 1 month out from BIG meet? Practice Structure?

    Just out of curiosity, coaches: what do your practices look like a month out from a meet? Usually our competitions are only a weekend or two apart so doing lots of routines and individual skills are what makes up the majority of our practices. However, right now we have the longest break between...

    Parents Skiing the day before a meet?

    I think I know the answer, but just wanted to get some other opinions on this. I'm planning our trip out to Colorado for a meet in Feb (pikes peak cup) and according to the tenative schedule it looks like we will be competing on Sunday. (level 6) Would it be a bad idea to spend Sat. up in the...
