    Anon Travel meets are too much for us and I don't know how to explain that to the coaches... Do we get kicked out?

    We have 2 or 3 travel meets every year, and this is our second year competing. I have 2 kids in the DP (3 and 5), and they usually have a meet one day apart (e.g. Fri/L3 and Sun/L5), which means more expense for the hotel. The first travel meet was close and next to our state, so it was...

    Parents Attending travel meets when injured?

    I'm kind of struggling here and could use some advice/perspective. My daughter (level 10) is injured again. We are still awaiting results from the MRI, but I'm not feeling terribly confident she's going to compete this season. Her first meet was last weekend. It was a 5 hour drive and to a...

    Parents Travel meet advice

    Hi! We have our first meet further than 2 hours away in a few weeks and I’m not sure how to handle travel plans. DD is 9, usually sleeps 9pm-6:30am. Doesn’t deviate much from this on non school days. She has to report at 2:30. We live about 4.5 hours away. Due to sibling schedules, our...

    Parents Is the travel meet worth it?

    Our gym doesn't do many out of state/larger national meets, especially not for Xcel. This year, they're sending P/D/SA to a big meet in Florida. We live in New York. The meet is optional, but obviously DD really wants to go. However, it is in the middle of the school year, so it would mean...

    WAG Sprained toe recovery / travel meet

    My DD (13 yo level 9) sprained the toe next to her pinky toe when it tucked under on a vault landing three days ago. X-ray confirmed no break and she can walk on it, do trampoline, no problem. It is a little swollen and hurts to tumble/land. Not a big deal injury, but we have a travel meet in...

    Parents Two travel meets

    I just found out that there will be two travel meets for level 3 and up next year. I don’t know if my daughter will be level 3 or 4 but I feel like two travel meets (out of state...) for level 3 is questionable. Do I say something? Or just opt out of one of them? I love travel and we can afford...

    Parents Does your Xcel team have travel meets?

    Debated JO vs Xcel for 8yo daughter. Decided Xcel. Practice 6hrs/wk instead of 15. DD seems quite satisfied with gym time. Doesnt ask for additional gym hours. Shes doing well in meets and overall its been a great, yet moderate, foray into competitive gymnastics. She has 6 local meets. Next...

    WAG East Coast Travel Meets

    Our gym usually going to one fly away meet per year and I was not too excited about the location we went to this year. (The meet was fine.)

    WAG Travel Meets and High School

    I've always had utmost respect for the kids managing gym and high school but that has just been upped A LOT after seeing my DD get ready for her first travel meet while in high school. She goes to a public school (but rigorous and nationally ranked). Good Grief! It has been a week. She's...

    Parents Travel meet team questions

    Just wondering what the norm seems to be in other gyms. When you have a travel meet-not necessarily a fly-away meet, but a meet a decent drive away that requires at least one overnight stay, how does it work? Do the families from your gym tend to stay in the same hotel and do things together...

    Parents Travel Meet for young level 3?

    DDs gym has one travel meet per year. It is mandatory for levels 4-10, but is optional for level 3, which is what my dd will be competing. This year the gym picked a meet that is clear across the country. My husband really wants to take dd. I feel like we should save our pennies for next...

    Our team did their first big travel meet this past season to Florida. Our head coach would like to do one each year - as it seems many of you guys do. So the booster club is taking suggestions on new meets to try. The Pink Invitational has already been thrown out there... What other good meets...
