We gave 30 days notice, per our gym contract we had to sign. We were leaving after the state meet. They were already registered. They kicked my daughter off the team. Luckily the new gym was able to re-register her for the meet and take her. Looking back I wouldn't have given notice.
My dd loved The Worst Gymnast by Thalia Kalkipsakis. There is also a series of books called Girl meets Ghosts they are by Lauren Barnholdt. The whatever after series by Saeah Mlynowski, Allie Finkles rules for girls by Meg Cabot.
Can anyone tell me how much the admission was last year for the Presidential Classic in Orlando? Our gym is planning on going in 2015 and I'm trying to budget. I heard that it was $25. I understand that it is Disney, but I wanted to confirm.
Thanks!
Does anyone know how to find scores if the host gym doesn't post them? We switched gyms and our new gym needs to confirm my dd scored out of old level 6. The gym won't return calls and it's not posted anywhere. Do they get reported to usag?
I'm not sure what they look for exactly. I will say that when my daughter started smiling and looking like she enjoyed herself this season, she scored a lot higher then she did in compulsories. She never smiled in compulsories .
I stay because
1. Gas is to expensive to drive back and forth 4 times a week. It also is a 40 minute round trip and practice is 2 to 2.5 hours.
2. I can chat with my friends who are there.
3. My daughter likes for me to watch and those years will be gone soon when she is to embarrassed to...
Our gym has an escrow account for each girl. We pay into it during the summer and that's what the meets are paid with. There is one set fee for local meets and one for out of state meets. It's a little extra to cover some coaches expenses. You have to give the gym 6 weeks written notice if...
We are in Region 8. Our gym competes JO in the fall and Xcel in the winter/spring. My daughter did two years of silver (she finished level 3, competed silver and then finished level 4, competed silver). This year she did two level 5 meets, scored out and is competing gold. She will compete...
Just want to say thank you for posting this link! I had been looking for my daughter's Xcel/prep op silver pictures from last year, but couldn't find the vender. I found them on that site. Yay!
We left one gym and went to another. We competed at a meet and the old gym was there. My daughter beat 2 of her old team mates. After the meet my daughter said hi to her old coach. She actually really liked him, it was his wife (and booster club) that was the problem. He ignored her. We...
We went to a "Red Carpet" meet. They had a photo booth set up and when the gymnast checked in, they would take their pictures. During awards they handed out the pictures in a cool little picture frame that had a Hollywood theme to it. That's been our favorite so far.
I know that my daughter is listed on there 3 different ways because the booster club would register her under different names. One was her nickname, one was her legal name and the other was her legal name but spelled incorrectly. I knew it was the booster club because when we saw the score...
Most of the meets we go to give out bag tags. Just a small token to say thanks for coming. I've seen crazy goody bags after meets. We decided as a level not to do them, but some other teams go all out. I saw one team with 15 girls one time give their girls beach buckets and flip flops.
There was a lot of stuff going on at the gym. They had mismanagement of funds, safety concerns, other girls were leaving, coaches belittling and the list goes on. We were happy to get out of there. I know it was a payback of sorts for them to kick the girls off. They knew what they were...
They kept our tuition, but refunded us the money for the meet. They kept some money that was in our booster club account. We ended up donating it to another girl at the gym.
We had to give a 30 day notice that we were leaving. The gym decided they would drop us because of "conflict of interest". We gave 30 days notice which was their policy. We were following policy. They still kicked us out. They canceled my daughter and her teammate (who was leaving with us)...
She closed it before this summer and is now in VA. She did the Xcel program while she was here in GA. I don't think she had her girls compete compulsories at all.
