How do I stop fighting sleep before meets? I usually can't fall asleep, or I can't fall asleep and fight sleeping when I get tired. That results in me falling asleep around 3:00 am, which drastically reduces my performance in meets. Any tips on how to get better sleep before meets?
This was in another forum but I thought it would be cool to see if anyone's had changed sense that one. So what is it? Mine was probably crying in front of everyone after I fell on my turn at state. It took 5 people to calm me down and everyone just stared I was mortified. Funniest, was when my...
How do you get ready for gymnastics meets? I take a shower, do my hair (which is complicated because I have layered hair, so I have to pull my bangs back with bobby pins. Usually takes a while.) Then, I get into my Leo, put on my warmups, grab a snack, pack my gym bag and I'm out the door. What...

I am so nervous for my first Level 4 meet. I'm nervous I won't make my kip/squat on bars, or my cartwheel on beam. Also, forgetting my routines and my vault. And it's an new level and new routines (especially vault.) I competed in the new Level 2, by the time that season ended I jumped to L4. My...
I was wondering if a gymnast could compete in a meet without a team? Any rules, regulations, or ethics against or in favor of this action?

- Gymnast decides to gain...
I'm just wondering if anyone knows why My Meet Scores isn't updating with recent meet results. We had a meet a few weeks back, scores were submit to My Meet Scores, but they still don't show up. Is it just off season?
Thanks!
So I've been trying to look for a neat hairstyle for meets and maybe even practices. I want it to involve a ponytail or bun coming down the side because I'm trying to avoid anything in the middle of the head. My reasoning for this is due to rolls on floor and beam that could squash their hair...
Did anyone pick up a black gym bag by chance after the regional meet last night? They said a gymnast claimed it, but it wasn't us who claimed. Hoping to find. :)
Thanks!
Hello all! I was wondering, as I do not see it in any of the Meet Director's Rules, can you have 2 Meet Director's at a sanctioned meet? The meet's I have always worked has had only one, but our current Booster Club was thinking that having 2 would be easier so the duties & working multiple...
So dd had her last meet on Saturday, she did not qualify for State, so it's the end of her season. All season long, she has been busting her tail to get the front hip circle...to no avail. This morning, they had a clinic, she jumped up on the bar and did 5 fhc in a row! At least she'll be in...
Is there a standard protocol for an injury that occurs during a meet or is it up to the individual coaches? I was at a meet a few weeks ago with my child when a girl from another team crashed hard on beam. She was rolling around under the beam screaming and holding her ankle. Her coaches layed...
Does anyone on here have experience with, or knowledge of, what happens to gymnasts at a meet if their coach fails to show? This has been weighing on my mind, and I couldn't find anything about it here, or with a google search. Has anyone ever seen that happen? Does it matter what type of meet...
