    Parents First level 4 meet

    Ok, it was intersquad and there was only one judge, but it was still fun and I am still proud. Our season doesn't officially start until late January so this was an assessment and divisional placement meet. DD scored highest in beam and tied for highest on vault. It was the best vault I had...

    Women Loud cheering at meets (screaming, really) - thoughts?

    At a recent meet, the parents from one of the gyms were screaming, hollering, jumping up, and carrying on as if we were at an outdoor football game. So loud our ears were literally hurting from the noise. Every. Single. Time one of their gymnasts did ANYTHING, parents screamed and shouted loud...

    Parents Late Night Meet, Young Child

    DD's meet this weekend went 2 hours later into the night than her bedtime. After the first 2 events, she melted. What can I do to prevent this in the future? How do I prepare her (coffee?.... LOL) Thanks!

    Women Scratched meet - am I overreacting?

    Our first meet of the season – and the very first L4 meet for my girls (they both competed L3 last season) is tomorrow. Last night, it was their last before-meet practice, and all seemed to go well. My YDD has a lot of issues with her form, and as I caught the end of the practice, I was very...

    T&T Meet schedules

    I am figuring out slowly how much more laid back t&t seems to be compared to artistic, but I am still wondering if this is normal. I have been asking DDs HC about meet schedules for a few weeks- My other DD needs to select the meets she will attend this spring and I am trying to avod conflict...

    Coaches Meet compensation - How does it work for your gym?

    I'm in my first year of coaching USAG and our state meet is coming up after a very successful season. Until recently, all of our competitions have been relatively close in location and I was okay with how coaches fees were handled. However, states is over 3 hours away, will take up two days ...

    Women Gram ideas for our upcoming meet

    Our booster club is looking for some new ideas for good luck grams to sell at our upcoming meet. Anyone have suggestions that have worked well for them. We usually have a Nee Year's theme because it is the 2nd weekend in January but any and all ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Coaches What was it like coaching your first meet ever?

    My first meet ever will be Sunday, November 23rd. I'm really excited, but of course am a little nervous, too. This will be the first meet I've ever coached, and it will also be the girls first time competing. To ease my nerves, and simply because I'm curious, are there any of you who would like...

    Women Would you get your kid a flu vaccine before a meet?

    I have had a hard time finding time for my DD to get her flu shot/mist between gym and being out for a week with the flu... I can do it tomorrow (Thursday), but she has a meet Saturday. Would you do this? I know adults sometimes feel flu-like after a flu vaccine, but kids seem more resilient...

    Women Suggestions for meets in California?

    As you may of seen from my last post, we might be going to coast to coast for meets but we also stay close to home. I was wondering if you have attended any good meets in Cali (preferably SoCal) that you would recommend for a whole Optional team to attend.

    Women How far should you travel for a gymnastics meet?

    Hi all, I was wondering how far you would consider "too far" to travel to a gymnastics meet. My DD's coach is hoping to enter some of her team to a gymnastics meet in New York. The thing is that my DD's gym is in SoCal and a flight from LAX to JFK will be expensive and long (around 5 hours I...

    Coaches Music at Meets

    This is probably a really dumb question, but here goes. I took about a ten year break from coaching, during which technology changed from floor routines being on CD to being on MP3s. I had downloaded the USAG compulsory music on my phone, but we've got some EXCEL kids this year and we've just...

    Parents Cheetah cups at meets

    Hi all. My DD has a bone bruised heel. She has been using a cheetah cup and it is helping a lot. Our competition season starts this weekend and she desperately wants to compete vault and floor (her best events). Can she use the cheetah cup at meets?

    Parents Do you let your child go with coach to big meets?

    Our family has to make a decision about an upcoming big important meet and wanted to hear experiences and thoughts from other parents. Our coach has asked that our child go without us and our child would be the only one going from our gym. I love our coach and trust them, that is not the...

    Women Meet scores shared?

    We have had 2 meets a month ago and the meet scores were not posted online anywhere. I contact the meet gym for them but they told me they were sent to our gym. But our gym chose not to share them with us. We got our daughter's scores but I wanted to see what our team scored and how many...

    Women Has anyone received confirmation from IGI Chicago Style meet?

    We early pre-registered (Prior to Sept 1) and it says will random draw from those entries to fill the meet (and then fill with post sept 1 in the order they were received) We have not received confirmation that we got a spot. Payment and gymnast lists are due Nov 1; we have usually heard back by...

    Parents Grandparent's divorce and gym meet (long vent)

    So, my parents have been divorced a couple of years now. They're not very friendly with each other. In fact, I'm not even sure that I'm supposed to tell my mom where my dad lives. Anyway, they live close enough to each other, that it makes it very awkward if I'm planning on visiting one or the...

And I'll be more than happy when she is done with that darn mill circle! The only skill that still is on again/off again...First 1/2 of meets at...

    Parents Practice meet

    Dd (level 4) had her practice meet yesterday to start the season. It was so good to see all the hard work dd and all her teammates have been putting in all summer pay off with great routines. I never watch practice so I'm always surprised how far skills have come since the end of last season...
