What has been your favorite travel meet- or favorite local big invitational meet? We're all trying to guess what the travel meet will be this year, so the topic is on my mind.
I just found out that there will be two travel meets for level 3 and up next year. I don’t know if my daughter will be level 3 or 4 but I feel like two travel meets (out of state...) for level 3 is questionable. Do I say something? Or just opt out of one of them? I love travel and we can afford...
Has anyone done both the Disneyland and the Disney World meets? I have been to the Disney World meet as a parent of a boy, but I haven’t done either as a coach. I am trying to find a fun travel meet for my young Xcel group. It will be open to all of my levels and completely voluntary.
So this is my daughter’s first year competing (5yo, Level 2). Her coaches entered her group in three low key competitions that place out 60% and include a “6 and under” age group for Level 2. She placed 1st AA at the first one (event placements 1st, 1st, 3rd, 5th) and was super excited. She...
Debated JO vs Xcel for 8yo daughter. Decided Xcel. Practice 6hrs/wk instead of 15. DD seems quite satisfied with gym time. Doesnt ask for additional gym hours. Shes doing well in meets and overall its been a great, yet moderate, foray into competitive gymnastics. She has 6 local meets. Next...
For those who have been to this meet in the past, is there a drop off place for spectators that is close to the entrance? The meet info says to allow 20 min to walk from the lots to the competition area so I am thinking the walk is a bit long from the lots?
Does anyone have any info on how or why Jeff Thompson, former Head Coach at Penn State is still on floor at competitions such as Metroplex last weekend? Safe Sport??
So remember when I posted how the older level 8’s & 9’s got the boot from Region 3 Regionals championship? Well as I went to the Texas State meet site and just happened to look at the age groups guess what I saw... Texas BOOTED those age groups from th State Meet too! UGH! What next?
So DD8 was in level 1 last year (at age 7). She was one of the oldest in her group. She was often the example "do it the way she does" for the younger girls. She did wonderfully at states (1st all around). That's what she remembers.
Our gym does AAU at first. AAU does not give placements...
I am considering taking my daughter to a home meet. I looked for tickets and it looks like single meet tickets are general admission only. Is this correct? If the meet starts at 6:45pm, how early should we plan to arrive to get decent seats?
My daughter is going to a college gymnastics meet this weekend with a friend from gymnastics. I have never been to a college meet and since she is going with a friend I was wondering what souvenirs might be available for an 11 year old girl that eats, sleeps, and breathes gymnastics. Thanks!
We got to go to the Rocky Mountain Open last night and watch Air Force, Arizona State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Ohio State, So Cal United, and some guys from the OTC!
First, The level of talent in the Big 10 is incredible! That is going to be one interesting season. I do not think I have...

My daughter and I are going to one Gators meet this season. In order to get reserved seats, I went ahead and bought season tickets.
I now have 2 tickets for 4 other meets that will go unused.
January 11 vs Missouri (I'd get them in a Fedex...
A couple of college coaches asked my daughter to send her meet schedule which she did a while back, but now it looks like she may only compete one event or scratch the whole first meet due to an injury. Both coaches are out of town and neither indicated that they were attending the meet. They...
