    WAG Scoring better in optionals than compulsories?

    My daughter will be competing level 7 this year. She was pretty good at lower levels, but not dynamite. We have been told that the coaches believe she will shine at L7 because she won't be doing cookie cutter routines. She is good on bars, beam, and vault, but just ok on floor. She is a great...

    WAG Was this judge unethical?

    First and foremost, I am a mom of a gymnast. I was asked to start judging a year ago when my daughter became an optional gymnast. I went for it :) The plan has been for me to judge compulsories. The gym my daughter is at has been having trouble for years with coaches leaving, gymnasts leaving...

    WAG Need Advice (re: roses at meets?)

    Quick poll, do you buy roses at meets? I am in charge of our booster club and roses are the bain of my existance! The are beautiful, yet fragile. We did them at our meet 3 weeks ago. I was up at 0500 for 3 days and worked 14 hours each day. We processed 550 roses and lost at least 150 due to...

    WAG Anxiety before meet

    How do you handle your childs nerves before a big meet. I wonder if my approach is ideal. She has a huge fear of blowing it and feeling embarrassed. I play it off as, "it's no big deal. Do your best. I could care less what your score is as long as you go for it. These are the learning...

    WAG Extreme training practices?

    Just to remind you, my daughter is from the gym that takes large donations from parents and gives training priority to the kids whose family donates. If you remember they allowed a group of very novice girls to train and go to L7. None had bars and the one in question didn't have beam. Our...

    WAG Moving down a level

    Does anyone know for sure if a gymnast can move back down a level once the season has begun. Example... disaster at L5... move back to 4. A good friend is in this situation. Thanks :)

    WAG Competition fees

    I was wondering how many meets most gyms do a year and what are the competition fees. We do 8 plus an in house starter meet. I paid around $1400 this season. The leo was $150 and the warmups $120. I was told by a mom at another gym that her daughters fees were $800 and the Leo, warm ups, and gym...

    WAG Need advice L6

    Here's our story. There is only one gym in our town. The next gym is 30 minutes away in a bigger city. My daughters gym has done something I feel is dishonest and a bit shady. Her group of L5 girls were divided up after the season was over. The majority were chosen to try to go for L7. A few...
