Hi all-
Well, there is one more day until we leave for our big "travel" meet this season. It is DD's 2nd level 4 meet this season and it is 9 hours away! Only certain girls were allowed to go to this meet based on their progress through September so it is an honor for DD to be going.
She...
Daughter had her 1st level 5 meet this past weekend. I was a nervous wreck. The night before they decided what she was able to compete. Her gym is really strict about competeing events if you do not have your skills you can compete that event. I was on pins and needles hoping she would be...
Hi all! Emma had her second level 6 meet. This is the meet that last year she feel off beam twice. So, going into this meet she was very nervous. Although beam turned out great! Normally Emma's best event is bars, but as she said, "I just had a bad bar day". Gotta love her attitude. No excuses...
Well, after switching gyms in Mid-Sept and starting USAG Level 4 at that point (only trained level 2 prior)...little one had her first meet on Sunday. The plan originally was to do the first meet late December but the coach thought some of the girls were ready so off we went. She had just done...
Last night was Bug's second meet. 6:30pm start time, finished at 9pm, and 2 hour drive home after. YUCK!!!!!! I had a horrible time getting out of bed this am.
First up floor: Our gym name starts with an A so we are normally the first gym to go in a rotation, not this meet the gym that...
DD had a great meet yesterday! She took 1st on Beam with a 9.5! she got 9.025 on bars, she casted up to a handstand and her tapswings were not good (so we were told). I dont know what they were looking at lol, they said she could have had a 9.725...huh??!?!?! lol

She got 8.575 on vault...
Well I am sorry it took so long to update this all. I have been slamming busy lately.
Emily did great despite running a fever of 100 + right smack in the middle of the meet.
She started on bars and they were tough and she score a 7.55
Then beam she tapped out since we still didn't have our back...
I'm asking out of curiosity. I've never paid to get into a meet hosted where I work. I've had my I.D. and my USAG pro member card checked, and been waved through. This has been for international meets, mens teams, womens teams, compulsory, optionals, you name it we've hosted it. So today...
Hi ! It's the first meet of my DD, but they have only 2 other gilrs who will compete. And this 2 other girls are from the same club :D!!! I just wish that everything goes well for my DD, she add a bad year and she as a lack of confidence about herself. She want to demonstrate what she able...
Hi everyone. My first level 4 meet is next Saturday and I really need some good luck. I still don't have my shoot through on bars and my beam is a mess. I'm trying so hard to improve everything in the 4 practices I have until my meet. My heart is beating like crazy just thinking about it...
Holy cow, I'm pretty nervous about this one. That tends to be my problem - I get nervous and then when I get to the meet, I get overstimulated and freak out. What with coaches yelling/advising and teammates chatting/cajoling, and people bustling around everywhere...it can be too much for me...
Well, DD had her first L6 meet yesterday and even though I was working time the other side of the gym on beam, I did get to peak over and watch most of her routines!
Beam was first, she was first in rotation to go. For some reason, she hates AAI beams this year. Gym got a new one, others...
Lets just say we are glad this one is over.We had to be there 8am which always stinks! It was a small meet so they had the L6 girls in our session also.
1st up vault warm up looked pretty good and she scored 8.1 okay we will take it.Next up bars warm up looking real good connections are looking...
Juju had her 2nd L4 meet of the season and it was interesting to say the least.
She started on Vault and she did an okay vault which scored 9.0 and got 2nd place. Next up bars... OMG.... she nailed her routine and scored a ....(drum roll please)... 9.625 easily earning 1st place. On to...
HC decided to take the L3 girls to States next month and they needed to get a sanctioned in state meet in before it so we switched to a local meet for this weekend. No time to get to the video right now, and I am traveling for work next week so it might be a little bit but thought I would share...
Well Amber had her last level 3 meet today. We had quite a morning and were running late, forgot her water, gym bag and glitter for her hair and her good luck dolls that have followed her for 3 years to every meet. Go grandma gave her a good luck purse and off we went. We barely made it on time...
I have to say I am on pins and needles and a nervous wreck over this. Sunday is DD's first meet and this week has been HORRIBLE. We had a judges visit and let's just say it wasn't our best showing. She fell on beam and had too much power on bars, she totally rocked the floor and vault was ok. OF...
I'm a recreational director looking to organize a mock-meet/mini-meet for some of our recreational and pre-team students.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to begin in terms of structure, who to get to judge, how to divide the kids, etc.
Please keep in mind that we are a gym with a...
