Parents How many meets does your gymnastic do a year? What level are they?

[Dream]

Daughter just started competeting this year at Xcel bronze. Our gym offers a variety of meets that they can attend. I am just wondering peoples experiences how many meets do their gymnasts do during competition season and what level they are at? Do people tend to go to more meets the higher the level?

My son is level 4. We attend 5 regular season meets and state. He could qualify for regionals but we decided to put that money towards a camp.

We do Xcel Bronze, Silver, Gold with 7 meets a year. Our final meet is states.

 

[XcelGirl]

I am Xcel Silver, and we do 6 meet,s then state. Gold goes to reginols too if they qualify.

Our boys team has 4 local meets, 1 travel meet for level 5 and above (optional for level 4), plus state, regionals, and nationals.

Level 7, goes to 7 regular meets. Then state and regionals. Several of the regular meets are very small though.

Levels 2-8 and Xcel Gold and Platinum ... 7 regular season meets, championships, and then YMCA Regionals (if coach decides to go that year, for L4+ and Xcel who qualify and WANT to go), and YMCA Nationals for those who qualify at all levels and want to go.

All regular-season meets are optional to attend, but are within a 2.5-hour drive. District Championships are at one of the gyms in our district, but fancier, lol.
We only go to Regionals (which is basically a state meet with 1-2 teams from the state up north) if it is held in our district or, sometimes, the district north of us. We have tried other districts, but no thank you. We have attended Y Nationals every year since 2011, including the year it was in Kansas and only 4 gymnasts went (2 had family in the area that never got to see them compete before, 1 was the coach's daughter so she might as well compete since her mom had to be there, and the other was a new girl, L3, who was really good and won 4 medals).

I am Xcel Gold, and I am in Canada, so we don't have states. WE only have 3 meets per year, and DP athletes get 3 meets and then Provincial championships.

 

[HurricaneLR]

We do 5 meets, plus states and regionals. It's the same for all levels (except for the ones that don't have regionals.)

My daughter is a level 10, we do 4 regular season meets a year. Actually all our levels 3-10 do 4 meets a year. This isn’t counting state, regionals, westerns or nationals, however only level 6+ goes to state.

 

[GymCAMom]

Our gym does four for all levels of xcel plus states, etc. I personally would love to do one or two more.

My daughter currently is doing xcel
Gold and they have 3 local meets and 1 optional travel meet plus state. It’s been really nice not doing a lot of meets! Next season she will be level 6 or 7(if she can get her giant more consistently she will be 7) and they do 4 local meets, 1 travel meet 3 hours away and 1 optional meet you fly to plus state.

Last year she was at another gym and competed level 4. She had 8 local meets, 2 travel meets 4 hours away and 2 travel meets we had to fly too. My daughter was so over meets and scores and stressing so much. Plus it was a lot of money and time commitment that’s why we left! They also were sticklers on scores and wouldn’t let you move up or do any upgrades without a 36 but my daughter tends to freeze at meets(her highest score was a 35.8 in level 4).

Unfortunately new gym doesn’t do levels 3-5 so that’s why she’s gold this season and not level 5 but it’s work out great she’s loving doing upgrades all season and not stressing meets(she also got a 37.5 at her last meet doing level 5/6 skills!)
