    NCAA Leotards

    We watched on tv last night and I’m so tired of it looking like they just refuse to make Leo’s that fit these girls. Their Leo’s do not need to be thongs. It’s so ridiculous.

    T&T/Rhythmic/Acro nationals 2020?

    I know the expectation is that next year will be earlier because it's an olympic year. Anyone have a more firm set of information other than the Draft calendar from 7/11 on USAG's T&T website? I ask because depending on how early it is it may interfere with 8th grade graduation for my...

    Parents Smelly Armpits - mesh delicate leo

    HELP! DD is in acro and both her leos have mesh sleeves. LOTS of bling on the leos, so full scale washing is out of the question. I washed the armpits of both leos in woolite and they still stink. Any ideas short of febrezing them???

    Parents Toe injury

    DD does acro and her partner slipped and caught DD's pinky toe on a skill. It's not broken, but it clearly is hurting her - my guess is like hyperextension. There's a small amount of bruising in the inside of her toe but nothing really significant. We've been taping it, but she couldn't...

    Parents Booster Representatives

    Do we have a lot of booster club representatives/board members represented here? I'd like to start some "best practices" discussions and share ideas but not necessarily to the main board.

    Acro families?

    Do we have enough Acro families to make a private group board? I'll gladly volunteer to moderate.

    Parents Not sure what to do with my daughter

    Two years ago my daughter switched from JO 4 to T&T. She's done well, but this year's been a bit of a struggle. Losing a coach right before nationals, who honestly checked out a long time before that. Girl drama over the summer with gym friends. She's qualified for nationals both years, and...

    Anyone headed to Stars and Stripes

    DD is a level 7 on tumbling and because Reno is so close we told her she could do both USAG 8+ nationals in Greensboro and S&S in Reno. Anyone else headed there? We'll be there Thursday night and she competes around noonish Friday.

    2019 Nationals?

    Any rumblings out there about where 2019 USAG Nationals might be? I know Stars and Stripes has been set, just wondering how close we are to knowing where the L8s and up might be.

    Parents Coach leaving a week before nationals

    I cannot believe that DD's coach is bailing on his team a week before nationals. Stars and Stripes T&T nationals (for levels 5-7) is next week, and instead of staying through as he said he would, he's making his last day tomorrow, leaving these kids with the assistant coach who is wonderful but...

    Parents I hate Summer Gym schedules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Man I hate this time of year in gymnastics. In order to make the summer gym schedule work, my DD has to spend the night at a teammates house two nights in a row every week otherwise I can't get her there. Then, with less than a week's notice, the Monday schedule just got moved to an hour...

    WAG STOP coaching from the stands

    Because we live over 30 minutes from gym (on a good day) and because her practices are 2-2.5 hours long (T&T), there's no point in going all the way home. So I generally sit in the gym and work or do schoolwork for my Master's program. It is getting harder and harder to watch pre-team and rec...

    Other sports

    So. My daughter just asked to play soccer. She's played before, but since she started gymnastics she hasn't even looked back. Her BFF at school plays, albeit just recreational. Not super competitive. I'm inclined to let her play - it's "off season" for T&T, it's low stress, and it shouldn't...

    Parents "Holiday" and Summer schedules

    I am incredibly frustrated with the need to change schedules during the holidays and summertime. This has happened at every gym we've been at. We have two working parents and we already rearrange things to make her gym schedule work. For the holidays the entire schedule gets rearranged...

    First Meet in the Books

    Mobility meet for DD was yesterday. She did great! She was disappointed in her trampoline score, BUT I keep trying to tell her a week and a half ago she still was missing a skill so she should see it as a win and know that she has 5 months to polish it. She did get a mobility score on...

    Camp Wakeshma

    Has anyone T&Ter ever gone? It's not close to us at all but DD's coach put it on the schedule. I'm not sure if we are comfortable sending her - I suppose it will depend on how many of the DD's teammates go. DD has never been away from us for that long or that far away, so I have major...

    T&T Meet format

    Can anyone provide any insight into how a T&T meet is structured? DD's coach said it isn't like artistic where you have a four hour slot and then you're done but that it can be an all day affair. If it's any help, DD will probably compete 6 or 7 on Tramp and DM, and 6 on Tumbling as an 11 year...

    T&T Hours

    We just got our DD's schedule for the fall. All summer it's been three days a week, 5 hours total, and I'm thrilled they'll be taking the full 5 hours into the fall as well. Practices will be 4-6:30. I don't know what to do with myself since we've moved from artistic. We won't be getting...

    Parents Who decides?

    I'm hesitant to post. I have a very upset DD. Short version is she has a successful L3 season at another gym, likely relying on talent over training. We knew it would get harder for her. She's put in the work. Less than a month before season, gym implosion forces us to switch gyms and we...
