Hi there,
I am a new resident of New York. I moved here about 2 months ago from Virginia. I have been coaching competitive gymnastics in VA for over 6 years and was hoping to continue in NY. However, gyms in upstate NY and the need for competitive coaches seem to be little to none at the...
My high school team made it to state this past Friday and were all SUPER excited!:D The top two teams made it for the team comp. and we got second behind a team that beat us by like 8 points at a meet before this season, but we only lost to them by 1.5 points this time. We also have three girls...
So we went out of town last weekend and alas no state score yet. DD just needs to hit every event at one meet.
The out of town meet last weekend was nice but DD added her own drama to it. I guess that is common for 13 year old girls.
She started on vault and was not happy with her vault or...
DD had a great meet this weekend. Got best AA score this year!! However she was .4 short of qualifing for state. I was unsure if I should be happy or sad. i decided happy so here is how it went.
Vault 8.775 (decent vault needs to block better to get the illusive 9.)
UB 8.3 yippee !! 10...
Our girls made an I Believe Tree this year, and got to write their short term goals, about 3 weeks out I think we did, including their goals for state on a piece of paper and place it on the I Believe Tree (christmas tree). If they make their goal by this Thu (state was just yesterday) then...
We had a so, so meet and I PRAY the same beam judge is assigned for the L4 session tomorrow. Many of our girls placed well and we had the top AA in 3 of the 5 age groups... but we came up short and placed 2nd to our closest rival just .5 behind them ..... NEXT YEAR!
I'm going to crow...
It seems like a very busy weekend - DD1 and DD3 have their compulsory winter state meet this weekend:cool: Best of luck to everyone else that is competing on Saturday or Sunday !!
Please send the bar fairy to my little MoJo gymmie. State is this Sat morning. Luckily she has home turf advantage! She's made some progress in practice, now lets see if it she can put it together at State! I've already reserved one of the bar fairies for her and a teammate. Wish us Luck!
We just got back yesterday from Tuscaloosa, AL for compulsory state meet.
DD got 1st on beam, 2nd on floor, 3rd on vault, 7th on bars, and 2nd all-around! We were very proud of her.
She missed 1st on floor by .05 and by .275 for 1st all-around. Doesn't it suck sometimes to look back at how...
Ah, just back from a great week before the state meet practice! My L3's are looking solid and consistent, heavily favored to win state by a considerable margin. My 4's are FINALLY putting it all together, including my DD's front hip circle and a teammate that has also made them in practices...
Can someone explain the whole "State" competition meaning to me. Cause... I'm not getting it.
My DD tells me her "State" meet is coming up late in December, and by then she'll have attended THREE whole meets this season.
Now, being that there are literally thousands of Gymnastic schools in...
Liv had her level 3 state meet last weekend and we had lots of fun!
Olivia was the only one competing that session from her team! The rest of the girls in her squad from other gyms cheered for her everytime she was up. Their sportsmanship really touched me and brought tears to my eyes. ;)...

Just wondering how other parents feel about traveling to out of state meets? In our state there are many(and I mean many!) meets within in a reasonable driving distance. So why would a coach plan out of state( flying distance) meets??? I feel the expense is just too much at levels 7 & lower. Of...
