Thanks to all who encouraged me to take my DD's (ages 6 &10) to the Florida Alabama meet (Gators rolled the Tide :)). We just got back and had a blast. Girls got lots and lots of autographs and are already asking if we can go to the next meet in a couple of weeks. Free admission for 17 and...
I am new to your board and mom of a 10yr old L7 gymnast. I also homeschool my kids for a myriad of reasons. My daughter currently has aspirations of competing at a college level. Obviously, a lot can happen between now and then but that is her current goal. As I set out planning her middle/high...
Hello, I'm James
I currently write a blog called 'the world gymnast' (you may or may not of heard about it) but I'm in desperate need for an American citizen who frequently watches/keeps up with NCAA news and competitions. My blog viewers wanted that section and I'm british so I can't...
Hi all! I am considering taking my DD's (ages 6 & 10) to the University of Florida/Alabama meet in a few weeks. Does anyone have any expecience attending college meets? How long do they typically last? My girls love watching the college meets on T.V., but I'm not sure if they will enjoy it as...
Does anyone know if all of the gymnasts on the Kellog's tour have given up their NCAA eligbility? Noticed Sam isn't there, am assuming because he is back at Michigan. Am wondering if being on the tour means they have "gone pro"?
Congratulations to the University of Georgia Gym dog senior Kat Ding. Kat finished 2nd in the All-around competition. In the event finals Sunday Kat was 1st on Bars for her 2nd consecutive national championships, she was also 1st on floor and finished third on vault. An amazing end to her...
This is in Atlanta -- I figured I'd forward it to Chalk Bucket. I know nothing about it except that it's a legitimate opportunity, it's probably background pay rate so not too much, but they may be able to bump for specialty and if there's any speaking the rate would be higher; might be some...
We were thinking of getting tickets to the NCAA championships in April 2012, but I have not been able to find out when they go on sale. Does anyone here know when that will be? Thanks!
One of the girls at our gym was asked to model for one of the leo companies. I was just curious if this could be considered sponsorship for NCAA purposes. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
OK, so there is a side discussion popping up in another thread about gym expenses regarding booster clubs and NCAA eligibility.
I am now getting a little concerns that our BC may not be set up properly and may cause problems for some girls in the future.
Our BC is NOT a non-profit. All money...
My Question is - I have heard that there is a NCAA ruling that only 19 men can be on a Collegiate Team (counted in the Roster) - I think only 15 can travel. If this is true why is Illinois, Michigan and other schools already posting their team rosters on line with 21 and 24 and more athletes...
Please help us welcome bribri514 as a mod of the NCAA forum. Below is a bit about bri from her profile:
Once again...we welcome bri to the Chalk Bucket Mod Team!
DS is heading into Gr. 10 next year. Goal is an NCAA scholarship. Athletic resume & video was done as a Gr.9 project this year, we are "vaguely" familiar with the rules & timeframes of when you can do what within the NCAA (ie, contact coaches, etc) and trying to get a gameplan in place for the...
Anybody know where I can find the women's NCAA rules? I know NCAA men use FIG rules with a couple of small modifications, but I have no idea what the women use.
So this is only for curiosity's sake - what's the deal with the new GK/Adidas catalog pointing out that certain (most) leos are not NCAA compliant? I've never noticed that in one of their catalogs before.
Has NCAA changed a policy lately? Or are they just enforcing an existing policy more...
