It is obviously not official until the choreographer (Dominic Zito) says it is official but as of last night this became the front runner.. I am sure you have all heard this song before but this version is pretty cool....
She gets her routine next Wed at 2:30... She is excited..

Just wanted to take a quick minute to THANK YOU all for your advice, stories and posts about DD's not so great meet. I truly appreciate you all taking the time to respond with such encouragment & it means so much to me. I guess I get so frustrated when SHE gets frustrated. After that meet I felt...
Alex has her 4th meet this Sunday morning bright and early at 8:00 AM. They have really been working hardcore on the floor routine. Really tweaking form and timing with the music.
She has left a couple of practices kind of frazzeled.
HOpefully this new focus on form will come through at...
DD has her first level 6 meet this weekend. Nervous for her. Last year was her second year at 5, so she had a great season and improved so much. I know that she will start with lower scores, I just hope she's ready. I think she is. I keep telling her states isn't until April, so has so...

OK the wait is over our first meet is under our belts and Bug rocked it. She placed 3rd all around against girls that were one their 3rd or 4th meet of the season.
Bars was first, 9.25, bent arms and near fall on cut back, but the rest was great.
Beam 9.225 (personal best) wobble...
I need some help understanding the "going to meets" system.
My daughter is 6. She's supposed to compete level 2 this year. (Most gyms in my part of the metro area do, and I've made my peace with that and put her in a program where they do compete level 2 as overall it's the best place for her...
Here is the day that I have been waiting for, Bug's first meet is tommorrow. Hoping the critique from the mock meet can be followed and she has a good meet.
She gave me a few more grey hairs this am after getting her flu shot. We were riding the elevator done from the 3rd floor of the...
Just call us the lil caboose of the CB board. This is one of those meets that I ask myself afterwards if being in USAG gymnastics is the right thing for my DD. We have always taken things one day at a time, knowing that the tightness on her one side may become an issue. She's having major heel...
Is there a difference between a "regular" meet and a Judges Cup? Do they like score differently or something? Or is that just a different name for a "regular" meet?
DD had her first meet of the season finally and she did really well. I am so proud of her! I have been anxiously and very nervously awaiting meet season. I was more nervous this year then last year, I guess the expectations are different so I was stressing a bit more - LOL. This was a much...
Hi all! Well she made it through her first level 6 meet! It was very long and I think we finally got done with awards around 10:30 p.m. Emma did a great job! She pushed back her fears of the robhs bt, and flyaway, and went for it all. She needs some spit and polish, but not bad considering her...
LM competed at the Acorn Team Cup so if you didn't have enough kid in your level to make a team (3) they were put in a mixed "all star" session - we had Level 3's, 5, 6, 7's.
LM had her favorite coach there so she was very positive.
First up was bars - warmups looked great! However, she...

Hi everyone! Well, Kylie had her third L4 meet yesterday, Fright Invite, which was a Halloween themed meet. Very fun with lots of candy and judges in costumes. The competition was tough, several very strong teams from Fl.
First up, vault. She has really been struggling with vault. She...
So today I had my first level 7 meet. Holy crap im glad its over haha. We started on bars and I thought I was going to do like extremely bad. But I fell foward on my high bar kip and touched my hands after my flyaway. Then on beam I did fine on my dive front walkovers in warm ups but when I was...
Well, I had a sort of bad meet. Everyone was scoring really low on vault and that kind of threw me off, and then my hands were slipping all over the place on bars, and my rhythm was really bad on my cartwheel...and floor was fine. So I got a 34.2 AA compared to 35.775 at the last meet. However...
Thank you to all who shared those fairies with us yesterday. Older DD did well...definitely some good, some bad, and some ugly!
The meet was super cute Halloween-themed with day-glo all over the place and "carnival games" between each event.
First up was vault...not her strength but she...
Hi all,
Just getting ready to head out for Emma's first meet as a level 6. I am not usually this nervous, but it has been a stressful start to the season for Emma. Today's meet is a small venue and a neat Halloween theme. However, between her severs syndrome, fear of her flyaway, and just...
DD has her first level 5 meet of the season, and she is nervous! and I am too (LOL). Her team rocked it at practice this week.
Please send good luck our way! and also for the level 6s that go after us and the level 4s that are all day tomorrow! thanks
