So DD told us last week that she intends to stop gym at the end of the school year. I recognize it's a good time for her to do so. She'll be headed to HS in the fall and wants to try new things. Plus she had a good L7 season and would end on a high note. But despite all my gripes about the...

Anyone have experience with these? DD wants to explore using them for turns on floor. I've been told to look for rhythmic gymnastic shoes but after searching online I am thoroughly confused. I've seen things called both shoes and socks (same thing?) And lots of different materials: canvas...

DD is going to Woodward West for the first time this summer. I'm trying to figure our the daily schedule but am confused by their materials. Can anyone tell me if there are one or two instruction sessions? If two, are they both mandatory? And how many "open gym" sessions? Are coaches present...

How does the table height affects a FHS vault? I used to naively think that the setting was just based on the vaulter's height, but that doesn't seem to be the only factor. I ask because DD seems to think it's a major accomplishment when she's able to vault on a higher setting, but I don't...

I thought I read on the board somewhere that L7 vault will be changing in 2018 (to include some kind of timer?) Anyone know for sure? Will FHS still be an option?

We were at a meet recently where one of the girls did a back extension roll on beam instead of a BWO or BHS. I'd never seen this before so was kind of curious why you don't see it more often. Is it considered more difficult to learn? Would it meet the requirements for L6?

Anyone tried using the new rinse-free detergents (such as Soak or Eucalan) to wash leos? They are advertised as being safe for delicates so it sounds like they could be a good alternative, but wondering if anyone has experience.

DD has very small feet for her age (little kids size 12-13). I got her Tuli's cheetah cups in XS but I think they may still be too big. How snug should they be? Does anyone make a smaller version?

DD's last meet was this past weekend. It's been a bit of a rough year as she's had to endure multiple coaching changes (the last 2 only lasted 6 months), a paralyzing fear of the high bar, the departure of several teammates, and a broken elbow. So proud of her for maintaining a positive attitude...

I've seen lots of discussions here on meet tracking apps, but is there any way to import scores from mymeetscores or MSO? Looking for a way to cut down on data entry from previous meets...

Our gym is rather uncommunicative and I've been thinking that some sort of newsletter might be helpful. Before I propose (and volunteer for!) such a thing, I'd be interested to hear the following: 1) Does your gym send out a regular newsletter? 2) How often? 3) Who is responsible for putting it...

Hi everyone - I am a new poster on this forum, but have already learned a lot as a lurker! I'm hoping to tap into the collective CB wisdom for help on a frustrating situation. First, the background (sorry if this is long): DD has been at her gym for ~3 years and competed for the first time in...
