    Wow, they weren't kidding about the 'bling' arms race...

    The Chinese gymnasts are totally bedazzled. I haven't seen that from them before.

    WAG WWYD? Two gyms?

    Big girl is on lvl 6 team at GYM A. Great gym, great coaches, limited space and hours. Team coaches, DUH, like to be the only ones coaching for a variety of reasons (consistent terminology, maintaining progressions, form expectations, etc.) but teammates are known to attend other gym camps, etc...

DD wasn't overly upset because her friend was struggling with some skills...

    WAG Copyright permission for music

    Has anyone ever sought copyright permission for floor music? The piece I want to use is exactly 1:30 already so I'd only need to speed it up a smidgen if DD competes 6 next spring rather than 7. It's an old movie theme from 1988 so not especially popular. I'm just wondering what I could expect...

    WAG Getting involved in coaching?

    I'm curious about summer job opportunities for teen optional gymnasts or even those who have left the sport. Do teen gymnasts at your gym have the chance to work at summer rec. day camps or teach preschool gym classes?
