    Parents great. states conflicts with standardized tests. Kudos to the school though

    I realized yesterday that the dates for our state competition conflict with our school systems' standardized testing. I have never taken any of my kids out of school for a competition; but this one is about 5 hours from us, so I had planned to either skip school on that Friday or take them out...

    Parents Level 9 States Report

    DD's 1st event was bars, which has been coming along all season but inconsistent in her dismounts (double pike), usually over rotating. She did a really nice routine, right up to the end, where this time, she under-rotated and fell - 8.575. Beam was 9.4 with a couple of wobbles, 7th place...

    MAG Age groups for states/ regionals

    So, does your state use the USAG age ranges for states and regionals, or do they break it down further? I know we talked about age groups earlier this season but in context of regular meets. I was talking wiht another member about the age ranges in her state/ region and ours and how different...

    MAG States: happy gymnasts, happy coach!

    So four of our guys notched their best AAs of the year at states, and this young team brought home the third-place banner for L5 ages 7-10. Two event silvers, an event bronze, a smattering of other medals, and four of the six of them placed AA. My DS had a great meet. He knew that if he had a...

    MAG Boys' states thread!

    I know a few of you have already been through this (congratulations on your guys' great outcomes, gymboyzmom and azgymmiemom!), but I think most of us have states coming up this weekend or soon afterward. What are your guys hoping to do? How about your gym? Any guys shooting for...

    WAG How does commitment to competing a certain level at states work?

    I hope someone can explain how being committed to a level for states works. I believe that the highest level a gymnast competes during the season is the one she must compete at states, assuming she meets the qualification score. So, if she competes only 3 events at the higher level that means...

    WAG what to do if you don't qualify for states

    My dd (Level 6), who is usually a very strong gymnast, missed several meets due to injury, and has only one meet to qualify for states, which is early. If she doesn't qualify, what happens? Does she have to repeat the level? I ask this assuming that she has everything back in strong form my...

    WAG Fall States!!!!

    DD has her first ever State meet this weekend. She is over the moon excited. I am so excited for her. Any BTDT advice to keep calm (her and I :))? She is EARLY Sunday morning. She has requested an apple, banana and peanut butter for breakfast which I thought was a pretty darn good idea!

    WAG Is there is list that states what an A,B,C and D level skill is?

    Is there a list somewhere that lists what each skill grade is? I have no idea what is considered an A,B,C and D skill.

    WAG Scores to qualify for states

    Do the scores to qualify for states change each year? And are they the same for all states? Specifically, I'm wondering what score is needed to qualify for L6 states in PA. Is there somewhere to find this info online? Thanks!

    WAG Different scoring in different states

    In the two years, L4 and L5, I have noticed that the scoring for similar routines is very different depending on the state we are competing in. Our coaches have noticed this as well and it drives then crazy :) In my home state scoring seems to be on the low side across the board at every meet...

    WAG Injured three days before states

    I am so annoyed right now I can't believe I did this! it's THREE DAYS before states and I went to soccer practice because I've never gotten hurt there before and this girl kicks me really hard in the calf. (by accident of course). but I can't even walk right now! I think it'll be better by...

    Scoring between States

    I started to hijack Bribri's thread, and then thought better of it and am starting a new one. Her neice got a 37.325 at level 5 States which was 9th place. That seemed like a really low place for such a high score, so this was my question... cut and pasted from what I was going to post on...

    Age divisions at States

    DD competed in States this weekend and was the only one from her age group from her gym. I know, it happens, everyone does it, etc. Within this one meet of 75-ish 11-year-olds, awards were broken up into 3 age groups (11a, 11b, and 11c). My question is, they break them up by age so that State...

    Last meet before States!

    Hey guys! So yesterday I had an AMAZING meet. I'm a level 5, and I'm the oldest on my team. The meet was 4 1/2 hours away, (we made it safely through the severe weather!) The night before we hung out with my team in the hotel, and I think that's why I had the best meet ever (: haha! But anyway...

    L8 states the great the good and the ugly!

    On a positive note she got her highest vault, floor, and AA for the year at states. The most positive was a second place on vault with 9.4 of the 14 yr old session! In the regional age group of 13-14 she still placed 5th out of 58 on vault. She even only did one vault because her ankles were...

    DD Competing Level 8 States

    What started as a day of excitement and anticipation with the hope of qualifying for regionals, turned into an evening of disappointment. We all knew going in that she would have to nail her floor and beam in order to make it. Considering she's still doing her level 7 vault and has had an...

    Parents Well, How did Everyone's Kids do At States?

    Dd had tons of fun this weekend at States. She didn't have the best meet and didn't place in anything, but that's ok. She totally botched beam but had a good attitude about it and came back to compete the other events well. For those that remember last state meet where she was a disaster...

    Parents Anyone else's dd getting ready for States this weekend?

    This coming weekend is States for dd. Practice last night, not too bad, only had to stay an extra half hour! She seems calm and just working her skills. Not sure if she will add anything to her routines, she has been working a new floor pass and States would be a good time to try it, because...
