We (and I mean WE because the entire family is affected) have THREE Friday 8am competition sessions this season.
That's three missed school days. Three missed work days.
Between now and regionals, there could be more Friday mornings.
This is our fourth Xcel competition season and we've had only...
I am holding a parent information session at our gym for all parents of boys recently invited to preteam or team. We are trying to build our program (last year we had 7 boys total--3 level 3s, 1 level 4, 1 level 5 and 2 level 7s), and one of the ways I'm working on supporting that, besides...
I am learning front flip tuck in Gymnastics class. We are going through all the drills with rolls and cushioned mats.
During a floor routine, what if I have a bad moment or round or under rotate, and accidentally land on my head. Is there room for error in a floor routine? I also play other...
I have a friend that is looking for an extra ticket to the Saturday 8am Session on 5-15 for Nationals. They are allowing 4 spectators but they are hoping if possible to get an extra ticket as they have 5 that would like to attend. If anyone knows someone with an extra ticket to that session that...
Hey all,
My DD switched gyms mid-season and therefore will have to compete some meets "out of session/level" as the session her new gym's level 6 team is competing in is full, given that most deadlines have passed. She'll be competing as a level 6 with a group of Level 7s or 8s from the new gym...
We have a few girls from our gym competing in a premiere session at this weekends meet. I have never heard of that until my daughter told me that’s why they are in a separate session from the other 10s. But, that’s all she knows.
I’m wondering if anyone can tell me what that designation...

Hi all,
We are close to the end of our meet season, and I had a question about multiple sessions in one meet. For example, when there are several Level 4, 7, 8, etc sessions in one meet. How do they determine at a big meet which teams go in which session? The reason I ask is, in our last meet...
Hello.
Anyone know if it's possible to buy single-session tickets for the Secret U.S. Classic? All I see online are All-Session tickets starting at $105/ticket.
Thanks!
How do you keep your gymmie fueled for meet sessions that run over lunchtime or dinnertime? We have a hard time getting Tinker Bell to eat much before a meet, and she refuses to eat the snacks we put in her competition bag (she claims they're not allowed to eat on the competition floor, even...
Just curious if any other parents might be staying in the area while their daughters attend camp at Karolyis' Camp in Houston June 28 - July 3?
I figured there might be other out-of-state folks interested in getting together - or even sharing hotel or car rental? Just going out for dinner or...
Just curious if any other parents might be staying in the area while their daughters attend camp at UA June 15-18. The session is full, so I figured there might be other out-of-state folks interested in getting together - or even sharing hotel or car rental? Just going out for dinner or...
So we are relatively new at competitions and our gym has never run a meet so please excuse this question if it's out of line. Why are session times released so late? We have a meet in less that 2 weeks and I have no idea what date/time DD will compete. The scratch/changes deadline was weeks...
I wanted to get some input from other parents and/or coaches, especially those in booster clubs where the booster club coordinates the payment to the coaches for attending the meets (travel expenses and session fees). I'm interested in what your pay policy is specifically for the time they spend...
What is a normal # of kids for a meet session. I know it varies greatly, but what do most people tend to see. Does 50 sound like a low # of gymnasts? Does 80 sound like a high #? Just curious.
My daughter has a meet this weekend and her session starts at 7 pm. She's 10 and is usually in bed by 8:45 and asleep by 9:15 at the latest. So far all of her meet sessions, this season and last, have been in the mornings or afternoons.
I am looking for suggestions on how to keep her fresh (for...
Trying to figure out funding to send coaches to a "fly away" meet.
The meet might combine sessions, which would put around 11 girls for one coach. Do you think this is too many?
I'm so frustrated. Our first meet is over an hour and a half away and our session is at 6pm on a Sunday, with awards not scheduled until 8:30. So my 8 year old will be up until midnight on a school night. Do gyms think of these things at all???? I'd rather have the meet start on a Friday...
