Here! Excited to support a great gymnast from DD's gym! Also, SO excited to see some level 9 gymnastics.

Just wondering if there are any other families out there who have gymnasts who will be on the Top 8 team for their state for region 8. Our daughter will be representing Team Florida in NC on April 25th. Just wanted to see if there were any others out there. She is the youngest on our team from...

Our girls are going to the region 2 level 7 invitational meet. Has anyone been before or to one in there region? What is it like, pretty intense, laid back? We've never been before so just curious. We should at least see some teams we haven't seen before but not sure since those teams would...

I'm looking for a choreographer in Region 4 or who will come to Region 4 for a couple of my optional athletes' floor routines. I've never had to find one before. Ideas? How did you find your choreographer?

Not that I have to worry about it yet but I was trying to figure out how L8s in region 2 qualify to regionals. The only information I can find is that it will be a percentage of the total of L8 then 66% of that. How do you know the percentage for your state? Does each state get a different...

Anybody else here? I've already run into at least one of you. If you see a guy with big fluffy blond hair and a cal sports center shirt, that's me; feel free to come say hi

We're heading out today to be at the Region 1 Congress in Santa Clara, CA. If you happen to be there this weekend please do stop by and say hi! You can also pick up a free demo CD. See you there!

So out of 362 AA competitors at Level 9 region 8 championships, 90 of the girls competing AA did not score the 34 (which was required at state to compete at Regionals.) This is 25% of the girls which seems really high. So, do you think the regional scoring was really tough, the state scoring...

Does anyone know where to find the live scoring for Region 8? We have a friend competing this morning and the website says they will have live scoring but I can't find a link or anything. Thanks!

Anyone want to share a room tomorrow night? I don't have reservations yet!!  at least my Explorer is big enough to sleep in...  By the way, what was up with reservations to get the discounted rates being March 21? The meets weren't even until the 23-25! We're supposed to make reservations...

We received word today that the schedule has changed to allow for the tech sequence to be done the same way as it will be at nationals for the level 8-10's. it's not on the website yet, but basically Friday and Sunday are switched around. **************************** The level 5's will now...

So, first about the regionals. I was told at gym that there would be regional championships for Xcel. My coaches didn't know wether to qualify you had to place top 6 all around in your age group at states or in the whole meet. Anybody know more? My sister who is a gold wants to know. Now the...

For the past couple of years, Region 8 Xcel rules have had rules regarding who may or may not participate at each level of Xcel based on what they have competed in USAG compulsory. I know the rule is still in effect to score a 31 at L5 to be eligible to compete Gold or Platinum, but previously...

I am so confused on Xcel. It all made sense to me until I started looking at the official rules for different regions. When will it all be the same? Fall 2013? My most dire question right now is about mobility. I have girls who have never competed USAG before and they are about Level 8. Are they...

Hello!! So I was just informed by my coach that I may be able to compete Prep-Op next year but she's from PA and is not familiar with Region 5 Prep-Op. So, from what I can tell I would be a Prep-Op Silver (In between level 5 and 6 ish) But from videos on youtube some prep-op silver routines are...

Hi Chalk Bucket people, I'm the mother of a seven year old compulsory gymnast competing her first year of gymnastics. Looking forward to learning all I can about competitive gymnastics.

I am a coach in FL, and I am trying to network a bit to expand my knowledge. I have been coaching for 13 years but have had few opportunities for continued education. Therefor, I have spent lots of time on youtube (lol) learning great drills and also posting my own tutorial videos (mseastbay's...

My older DD is competing prep op gold this season. She is learning all kinds of new skills and doing all kinds of new moves...and it is very overwhelming and confusing! My girls have always done compulsory so I have always known just what they were supposed to be doing and what stuff was...

The owner of our gym told us last night that region 3 (I don't know if it's all regions...) is stopping giving out level 8 regional leotards. Does anyone know why they did this and if its true?

Hi All, My daughter made it to Regionals. I thought I understood what that mean. As I was told that the top 6 gymnasts from state would go to regionals. Then as I begin to do my research, I see Team and Individuals. Could someone please explain to me how Regional Championships work in for...
