    Women Is she out for the season?

    General question-- after 1-2 months off, can a gymnast return to competition ready in a month or two? Possibly? I know the devil is in the details, but would love any anecdotes of this happening or not happening for others... Or even opinions. Some details-- my DD (9 YO l. 6) sprained her...

    I hope you guys can offer up some advice as I have no idea where to even begin with this process. So here goes.... DD is a L4. We just had our first meet of the season middle of September. I was offered a job/promotion with my company that will require me to move 2.5 hours away from where we...

    Parents sleepovers during meet season?

    Whenever DD (7.5) has a sleepover she seems exhausted for the next day at least. She has just been invited for a sleepover this Friday. On Sat she has both 3 hour gym practice plus a rare private with her coach -so I'm leaning towards saying no for the sleepover. Her first meet is next Sat...

    Parents Worst season ever.

    uuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. <---- just needed to get that out. This year has been so stressful. Unsure of whether DD would actually make comps due to her bars. Bars came along nicely and in the end it was her beam letting her down. Carry on. A massive fall between the first and...

    Parents Puma Jr. is a little disappointed, but still looking forward to a great season!

    You may remember we switched gyms two months ago, and we were originally told she'd have to redo L3 (which she did 2 seasons ago, then did Xcel Gold this past season with the goal of scoring out of 4/5 and starting optionals) since she had a lot to work on with form and strength. She has worked...

    When exactly is competition season?

    I'm sorry if that sounds like a dumb question ..... we are brand new to this competitive gym game :) basically we were given a small information pack about team life and it mentioned that no family holidays should be taken in the run up/through the competition times. This includes development...

    Men end of season thoughts and thanks

    Hi, I've been busy with real life and so have just been lurking here lately. Now that this season is ending I wanted to say thanks to all of you who gave such good advice to us last summer and throughout. Switching gyms was rough but it turned out wonderfully. Ds's coach literally helped keep...

    Parents Frustrating season finally over-vent

    Just venting here since I have to say all the right things in real life. DD (9) just finished up level 6 and it was a very tough season to watch. Last meet season she was a level 4 and wasn't the best but usually in the top 5 with a few 1sts sprinkled in. This season she struggled, mostly...

    Women comp season for everyone.....

    I'm sorry if this has been covered before, I couldn't find any other threads... I have read a lot of people on here stating that their compulsories are only in the fall! Where exactly are you at for that to be it?? I'm in region 7 and all levels compete from November until April or May usually...

    Parents Season over! (Whew)

    DD's last meet was this past weekend. It's been a bit of a rough year as she's had to endure multiple coaching changes (the last 2 only lasted 6 months), a paralyzing fear of the high bar, the departure of several teammates, and a broken elbow. So proud of her for maintaining a positive attitude...

    Men Another season lost to injury

    Well.......I guess he is still 'doing' gymnastics right (better in than out??)? He had two more meets, one this weekend and one in a few weeks but it looks like no go. He got griplock two weeks ago, and thankfully he is fine but since he has not practiced, not meet. He pulled his back a month...

    Parents Season ending injury?

    At my daughter's last beam rotation (level 7), on her BHS last series, her left hand slipped off the beam and somehow she smacked the top of her dominant foot really badly on the top beam as she was falling. She has had pain in the top of the foot ever since and is now in a boot. The grieving...

    Women Rocky Season so far

    We just got back from our first meet not last weekend, but the one before. I was battling a pesky foot injury, and it was starting to get better. Also, I had a big mental block, that I overcame. Fast forward until last Tuesday, I got really sick and I've been to the doctor 3 times and had a...

    Parents How long is your competition season?

    We are new to Texas (2 months) and just got the meet schedule for this year, its SO short compared to what we did in New York. If we were still in NY her first meet would be in November sometime with the State meet the end of April, so almost a 6 month long season. Our first meet here in Texas...

    Women Is there a chance of L4 this season?

    All my little ones are totally ready for L4 this season. But about the 6 of the 9 girls don't have their straight arm back extension roll on floor yet! They can always roll into pike and mostly to push-ups position. But they can't do handstand yet.... HC won't let them compete if they don' I...
