    WAG Switching from Xcel to JO

    Our gym has girls move back and forth. More common from DP to xcel but they do let girls move back if they have the skills. My daughter is moving from 4 to gold this year due to her flexibility being a little less than what level 6 would require for split jumps etc and she doesn't want to do 4...

    WAG deduction for stain on Leo???

    The black is patterned throughout it so no way to wash it separate. It said to wash inside out, but I think that made the black imprint on the opposite side. I have a feeling it is just hers because my other daughter's is fine.

    WAG deduction for stain on Leo???

    My daughter's competition Leo is blue and black - when I washed it, the color ran like crazy despite cold water and hand washing. There are now dark greenish/black splotches in the blue areas. Is this going to cause her a deduction? I know the rules say "clean attire". I've tried everything to...

    It's not doing it today, so maybe it was just a fluke that day.

    Parents Does your gymnast care what event they start on at a meet?

    Parents What is your threshold for driving vs. flying to a meet?

    About 5 hours is our threshold for driving. It also may depend on the day/time of the meet as well.

    I keep getting an advertising popup that there is no way to close without refreshing the page or going back to the previous page. It is popping up every 2-3 minutes. Very annoying.

    Off Topic Gymnastics with glasses

    It took 3 trips to the eye doc for my daughter to learn how to use contacts. And the third time, they let her bring some home even though she had not mastered taking them in and out. I think it was too much pressure and too dark at the optometrist for her to learn. once we were home, she had no...

    Parents How fast do kids typically move between levels? (Rec gymnastics)

    My 11 year old started rec at age 9 then a year at level 2 and then competed level 3 this past year. She is moving to level 4. There are some younger girls on the team that did 2 or 3 years at level 3.

    Parents Excessive loss of team members?

    I think we had 15 level 3s last year. 1 moved to level 6, 3 left to other gyms, 1 switched to silver, the rest moved to up to level 4.
