Yes it would be early (7:00 a.m. or getting home at midnight), but a can do. My questions is do you think it hurts a gymnasts meet if she rides...

    How does your gym deal with coaches' fees, travel expenses?

    After a controversy between the parents' association and the coaches, I've been asked to do a little research on how much other gyms compensate their coaches for travel, meals, hotels, etc.? What per mile rate do you use? Do you pay actual hotel costs, meals, or a per diem. Any help or...

    How for will you travel for a meet?

    We have a meet that requires a flight and stay over this year:eek:. I'm having a hard time justifying this meet for a level 4 girl. I can see when she is a higher level, but so young and so early is it really worth it? How far will you travel for a meet?
