    2024 State Gymnastics Meet Discussion Thread

    My daughter had a positive state meet yesterday. She’s a 3rd year level 10, but was injured/recovering the first 2 season, so this was her first year competing all 4 events. She didn’t have any amazing scores and had a fall on bars which is usually her best event, but she pulled off beam and...

    Parents Competition season timing?

    I see how that makes sense for your team. You must be close to a lot of big/fun meets? Our girls only do 5 regular season meets in both compulsory and optionals (plus state and any post season). And almost ALL of our optional meets are travel meets. Every couple of years we’ll go to GGI if it’s...

    Parents Competition season timing?

    While I see your points from the gym side, I’m do grateful that our club didn’t do this when my daughter was in compulsories. We are in a state where the compulsory season is still September-December, except during covid when it moved temporarily. So yeah they competed in state (1-3 hours away)...

    [Meet] Tim Rand Invitational

    We are going this year, but haven’t been before so I don’t have any suggestions. I’m looking forward to the beach though. :)

    Parents Training hours and missing school

    My daughter’s gym offers both day and evening groups now. It used to be evening only until levels 9/10, but they grew and saw more demand for day training for lower levels and evening training through level 10. My daughter is in public school and has never had any school accommodation. But even...

    MAG Training hours and days

    I just want to say I’m sorry for responding to a post in the men’s group. I didn’t notice what group it was in as I was in the new posts view. I should have checked that first.

    MAG Training hours and days

    I’m not familiar with boys gymnastics, but that seems like way too many days/hours for that age and level. For reference, my daughter is 16 and level 10 and has about the same schedule. She didn’t start 5 days a week until 13/level 9. At 7, she was going 3 days/10.5 hours a week. And that still...

    [Meet] Atlanta Centennial Classic

    It’s very convenient to get downtown via the Marta. I know a lot of parents at our gym won’t use it, but it doesn’t usually bother me. Last time we rode it, there was a bit of a scary incident though and I’m not sure I can convince my daughter to ride it again. lol. We’ve taken an Uber to a...

    [Meet] Atlanta Centennial Classic

    Not my daughter, but some of her team will be there. We are split across 3 sessions and I think my daughter will be in the 2:40 most likely. Hopefully that and not the 8:00am one anyway. Good luck to your daughter!

    Parents which is best app for communication?

    I think group photo sharing sounds fun. We don't do anything like that unfortunately. We also don't have a recruiting instagram that is gym run, which is something that I really wish they would have. As far as communication, our gym relies on emails and texts. One of our head coaches has a...

    [Meet] Nastia Liukin Cup

    Ha, yeah. Reading it back, I did not explain that right. It's 16 and under is a junior and age is as of 12/31/24. I think it used to be 15 and younger was a junior. I'm not sure if it was actual age or age as of a certain year before. Anyway, my daughter will turn 16 in January so she would have...

    [Meet] Magical Classic

    Yes, definitely flying and not renting a car. I know there is the resort fee which is not cheap, but what else did you have to pay for amenity wise? I don't recall paying much else, but we only stayed one night last time. I mean yes for food and stuff like that obviously, but I thought the water...

    [Meet] Magical Classic

    Anyone been in the past or going this year? It's our first time and I'm excited about it. We are staying at the Orlando World Center (host hotel) and I can't wait. We stayed there last year for one night after the Presidential Classic and really enjoyed it. We'll probably do Universal on Sunday...
