    Parents oh boy... fall season is almost here! I hope my girls are ready...

    I found out today that both of my DDs will be competing in the fall competition season. I have mixed feelings about it. Yay that their coaches feel that they are ready; but wow... I don't see how they are ready. :eek: My 7 yo will be doing USAG 2. She has nearly all of the skills; but does...

    Women YAY! First competition of the season!!

    I had my first competition of the season yesterday and it went fairly well can't remember scores but I think it was 10.050 for vault (out of 12.4), 11.2 for beam and I don't know my start value but I'd say it was 13ish and 11.7 for floor with a start value of 13.70. Vault was interesting -...

    Coaches Flexibility and strength in off season

    So other than the optional levels states are finished with and it's time to get cracking. As we all know strength and flexibility are the two most important ingredients in making an impressive gymnast

    Parents End of Season Banquet

    Does your team have an end of the season banquet with awards given to the gymnasts? If yes, how is it handled? Does the gym pay for the venue, catering and awards? Does the Booster Club pay? Are the attendees charged a fee per head? What type of awards are given? Are there activities/games or...

    Women I'm sick of season?

    Countless routines and stressed coaches and gymnasts are only 2 of the reasons for it. It's driving me insane. I just want it to be over! I had been hurt with different injuries for 2ish years so I only competed 3 meets last year and none the year before. Now there's so many meets and I'm so...

    Women Thoughts on required avg season score to train next level

    I have heard some gyms talk about needing an average season score in order to train the next level. What are coaches opinions on this. Does requiring a 35-36 season avg really help in the long run or is it a way to make sure teams and kids can place well.

    Men Season is over for us

    My level 4 guys finished states last weekend, and they did pretty well. My older guy did better than ever, and he totally exceeded expectations from everyone, including his coach I think. Everyone goes on and on about his younger brother, but he scored better than him, and I was (secretly)...

    Parents Season almost over

    Is anybody else (maybe prematurely) unashamedly relieved that the competitive season is almost over? It seems stress levels are high right now with parents, and coaches are just trying to keep it all together for the time being. State meet is in 2 weeks, and I'm already practicing my big sigh...

    Women Loving this season!!!

    My daughter is having more fun than ever and is really starting to peak heading toward state. Her team is doing great and they have their toughest meet of the season coming up this weekend. I'm loving this season. How goes it for the rest of you? Good luck with state on the horizon (for some of...

    Parents mid-meet season vent

    So, every year I can't wait until meet season starts...so I can see the girls perform their new routines and see how they are going to score, etc. I even like packing up and heading out on weekend trips at the BEGINNING of meet season. Right now, we are over halfway through the season with...

    Parents Denver and moving gyms mid season

    Hi ladies.. mostly a lurker here, but occasional poster. Anyways, we are planning a move hopefully this summer, but could end up being early fall depending on when our house sells, to Denver. My DD is a 2nd year level 4 and just starting her season. We compete Jan-June (NY). I know a lot of...

    Parents Anyone else hate the competitive parent they become during meet season?

    I love my gymnasts. I love to watch them during the summer workouts (when I can make it). I love to watch them goof around at home. I am so proud of them. Why is it, then, that I am dreading meet season? I don't like that I feel negative about another child (why did they get that score, my...

    Women Spring meet season starts a week from Saturday

    I have to admit that I'm a little nervous for the start of spring season. My daughter has been having a blast working Level 5 (and even some Level 6) skills. With all of this up-training, though, it doesn't seem like the "I'm competing Level 4" mindset is there. I hope she and her team can get...

    Parents 2nd level 2 meet of the season

    This one was a little rougher on me than it was on my gymmie. I definitely learned some lessons. We were competing against 12 other teams this time. DD was pretty nervous, but she didn't really show it too much. She started off on beam and did pretty well (8.925). Next was floor, which she...

    Women First meet of the season is in the books!

    DD10 first meet of the season was this weekend. It was the Idaho Judge's Cup. It was a critique meet so no placements per se but you are ranked 1-44 ( that's how many L6 there were) and you can qualify for state and the level sevens can qualify for the Idaho state team for the Nation Judge's...

    Women First meet of the season this weekend!

    I'm starting to get really excited(and nervous) for competing this weekend!! I am nervous about floor because my routine isn't finished yet.. It'll have to be finished this week! I'm the only one in my division though so it's more like an exhibition than a competition haha. Oh well, wish me...

    Women Level 9 Training and Season

    My daughter did her first full bar routine yesterday. We have a small in house meet next Saturday. All events don't seem there yet. But she seems ok. Having missed a full month of summer's gym practice, I think gives her the reason to be more forgiving if herself. She is a 1st year level 9...
