    Gymnasts Flyaway mental block

    While your gym may require it, a flyaway is not required for platinum and there are other allowable bar dismounts (underswing and toe circle being the ones I see most often). Might be worth talking to your coaches to see if they'd consider an alternative.

    Parents DP or Xcel?

    As a parent I LOVE the Xcel program. My Dd was hesitant to move over to xcel at first, and her gym said if she had the skills she could go back to dp later if she wanted. 2 weeks after switching she did not want to ever go back to dp.

    Parents Region 2 gyms

    I don't know anything about the gym itself, but we've competed against Omega and they seem to do well. They are in Beaverton, just outside of Portland.

    Anon Advice about moving a gymnast senior year

    If you do, I would use a vague-ish explanation that doesn't directly "put down" the gym. Something like "her current gym is not a healthy environment for her."

    Parents Competition season timing?

    It depends on the state. Our comp season for all levels has always been spring with a maybe one meet in November or December. States has always been end of March/beginning of April.

    Web Server Returning Error Message

    Still getting the error. Only on my phone, not on my laptop. Works if I go to incognito and log in on my phone as the previous poster said they tried. I have no idea what is up (but I am in WA)!

    Web Server Returning Error Message

    When I try to go to chalkbucket on my phone, I get an error page that says "Web Server Returning an Unknown Error." This only happens on my phone. If I access the forums on my laptop they work fine. I'm using an android and chrome browser. I'm using the same browser on my windows laptop...

    Parents Fly-away meet tips/suggestions?

    From my understanding, the meet host has to upload the scores to myusag. It has nothing to do with usag itself.

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

    Generally no. But she hates going first in a rotation, it always throws her off!
