    Women Meet two done, now what?

    Last week was the first week my daughter had stepped foot into a gymnastics competition, had not even watched one in person. She got 5th all around out of 15 girls. This week she got a 35.8 AA score and got 2nd All around (9.25 floor, 9.35 Vault,9.0 bars and 8.2 beam no fall). Level 3 We...

    Women Meet Director pay?

    Just curious from others what the going rate is.... we have been paying a percentage of profits (12%) which works out to be close to $4000 for a three-day, nine session compulsory meet with about 600 athletes. Our meet director has been in-house, but it looks like we may have to hire out for...

    Men Meet in California

    My son mentioned that this year they might go to California invitational meet. Any ideas what meet could it be . I guess worth traveling for level 8-9.

    Women Mock meets?

    Do they typically give scores at mock meets? Or do the coaches just give the kids feedback on their performance? I'm sure it varies, but we aren't sure what to expect. Thanks!

    Men Blackjack Meet Question/JO Nationals - true Capital Cup

    Does anyone know if the Blackjack Meet is a Capital Cup format? What about JO Nationals? Just wondering as there was talk at our gym that the Blackjack was a good meet to experience Capital Cup format before Nationals. Trying to verify if that is true. Thanks!

    Women Advise for mom for first meet

    DD7 is coming up on her very first LVL3 meet! I’m looking for advise from moms and coaches on things to say and not to say before and after the meet. Particularly after, if she performs lower than her expectations or where many of her other teammates get medals and she doesn’t. I know the...

    T&T can you coach yourself at meets?

    I'm interested in going to Nationals next year. There is a good chance no one else will go and my coaches have family things that prevent them. Plus saving a ton of $ by not paying the fees/hotel/ food/airfare of a coach would be nice. I am a USAG coach myself. Can I go and be my own coach or...

Does anyone have suggestions? Meet can be for Women, and both Men and Women...

    How to keep calm at a meet?

    So I have my first meet in a few weeks as a Level 4, and I have terrible nerves. How do I keep calm so I can do well? Also, how do you keep a leo from riding up? I had this problem a little bit last season. Thanks :)

    Women Meet Director

    Are there such things as Meet Directors for hire? If so, where can you find them and how much do they generally cost? We have a medium sized home meet (3 days - 8 sessions) and may be interested in having someone outside help run. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Women Meets 101

    Could someone point me in the direction of some reading on how meets work? How many teams attend? Scoring? Etc? How is scoring done when different teams have different numbers of participants? I know nothing and have tried searching the site, but the search terms I'm using are so broad that I'm...

    Women Gym/meets on Sundays?

    Again, excuse my ignorance. Are meets generally on Saturdays or Sundays? Does this vary by geographical region? We're in San Diego. Competitive gymnastics might not be a good option for us if a majority of the meets are on Sundays. How frowned upon is it within the community to opt out of a...

    Women Question about Meet Scheduling

    My older daughter does marching band and is starting middle school this year. After the parent meeting the other night, I came home with a detailed schedule for the entire year of events, parades, etc, with locations, dates, and times for everything right up to the end of the year. My husband...

    Men Meet gifts for boys

    I am in charge of vending for our home meet. This year, for the first time, the meet will include boys as well as girls. Also for the first time, the location where we are having it will not allow food of any type on the floor (and therefore it can't be sold at our vending booth). In the...

    What to pack for a gymnastics meet?

    What do you pack for a gymnastics meet? I usually have my tablet, ear buds, I have a scorekeeper on my tablet so I don't need a notebook, and other stuff I can't remember. What about you?

    How do you get ready for meets?

    How do you get ready for a gymnastics meet? I usually leave out my leo, warmups, and other stuff the night before. The next day, I take a shower, put on my leo/warmups, do my hair/makeup, eat a quick breakfast, and then I go to the meet. What do you do?
