    "Off Season" Conditioning

    I am in serious need of exercises I can do at home or in a gym to help me with different floor skills. I do gymnastics all-year round, but in the summer I only have it once a week. I am also a competitive cheer leader so any jump training or balance drills would help me out alot. Also, I am...

    Already better than last season!

    I had my first meet of the season yesterday, and thought I'd share the results. It was a really small, local meet that my gym goes to every year. This is my second year at level 9, and a lot of meets last season did not go well at ALL. Vault- 8.65! (2nd place) I did a piked yurchenko, and...

    DD accomplished one of her goals for this season :-)

    DD likes to set goals at the beginning of the season. One of her goals for her 2nd yr of level 4 was to make a 38 AA at some point this season.

    Parents Season over prematurely

    Midget has been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the L5 vertebrae and is out for the next 2 to 3 months. Poor girl is devastated. She was not happy with her first 3 meets and has been crying every day because she cant compete and do better. On the other hand she is still going to practice...

    Luckily this meet is here in St Louis so no traveling!! I used to think it was cool to travel to meets now I just think it is a hassle!! (and too expensive). Here are the goals that Alex has set for herself. *Full turn on beam (this is a fear) *Hitting all the requirements for her bar...

    Off Topic It's almost costume season!

    I'm...kind of a geek. So I'm a) looking forward to Halloween and b) even more anticipating Geek Girl Con, where I fully intend to cosplay. My theme this year is "female video game characters who really rock". So, Chun-Li, the first playable character in a fighting game, and Faith from Mirror's...

    1st meet of the season

    DD will be attending her first meet of the season tomorrow and she is very excited. She is L3 and she could definitely use some form fairies and bar fairies. Basically I just want her to have an enjoyable experience tomorrow and I she can sometimes be hard on herself. :)

    Meet Season "Stress"

    I have a question... The parents at my gym refuse to do just about anything during meet season - they can't do fundraising during meet season, they can't attend a parent meeting during meet season - the list is endless. I understand that weekends are busy during meet season and although my...

    New or old competition leos for this coming season?

    Well, this past season the lower level girlies wore black leos with pink trim. The higher level girls wore pink with black. Last year I was able to buy a used leo for Kadee. Well, this year I was expecting to have to buy her another used one, because she has outgrown the one she has. But found...
