    Parents Cut/create floor music

    Hello! My daughter is creating a new routine for Oxford this year and wants to use a particular song- Everlong by The Foo Fighters- but it doesn’t seem to be on any of the gym music sites. Does anyone cut music or know how and can give some guidance? Thank you!

    WAG Looking for a gym for an adult

    Hello! I’m looking for a gym in the greater NOLA area that offers adult classes or open gyms- or at least allows adults in their open gyms. My daughter is going to be home from May through October and wants to be able to get workouts in on equipment. Thanks!

    Parents Been a very long time

    It’s been a very, very long time since I posted here! My daughter is a senior in college now- about to graduate in May. She is an naigc gymnast. She just finished at nationals, so that is the period at the end of her time on her college’s club team. She has had a blast doing gymnastics at...

    Parents Proud of my daughter

    Neither of us ever heard of this before, but it’s apparently at least a semi big deal, so I’m proud of her! She’s still loving gymnastics and can’t wait to get back to her college next year to restart their program- it fell apart when she left.

    Parents Back in the gym again

    Hey again to everyone who remembers us, and hello for the first time to people who don’t! My D is now all settled in at Oxford and signed up for the gymnastics team today. She starts practicing Saturday- and she signed up for trampolining too! The whole year of gymnastics, including membership...

    Off Topic After gymnastics and the grit they learn

    I don’t post very often anymore (my older daughter is in a coronavirus hiatus from training until June), and when I do it’s usually about my older daughter.. because she’s still my gymnast, really. Today I wanted to post about my younger daughter though. I apologize but this is going to be a bit...

    Parents Doing a happy dance

    My daughter had planned to give up gymnastics if she was accepted into Oxford University for next year, which she was. She hasn’t been able to train since late fall due to covid restrictions, and then with going away next year.. well she was kinda sad about it and has been missing gymnastics a...

    Parents Back in the gym

    Hey everyone! It’s been awhile since I made a post- I think my last ones were actually in the private groups that don’t exist anymore. Anyway, my daughter was out of gym since March 2nd (she went to one practice in June but didn’t feel it was safe so pulled back), so she was feeling ready to go...

    Parents Some words of advice

    About three years ago we moved across the country, and at that time my older daughter left three teams in California- artistic, t&t, and rhythmic. She wrote out a month’s worth of daily advice for her younger teammates in rhythmic and sent them a practice at a time. I came across her list...

    It looks like they’re being postponed

    https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/2899848001 I think it is the right call, though a gut wrenching one- both from an economic standpoint by the Japanese, and from the standpoint of athletes at the end of their careers.

    WAG Tattoo? Wisdom teeth?

    Questions for any adult gymnasts here- how long were you out of the gym after getting a tattoo and how long after wisdom teeth removal? We are trying to figure out the best timing for both for my DD. The tattoo will be on her hip, if that matters. Thanks!

    WAG 2024 Olympics

    Parents Slightly Off Topic- more than one way to do gymnastics in college.

    We just received notification that my DD was accepted into an incredibly selective scholarship program (under a 2% acceptance rate). She’s going to the absolute best college for her in terms of academics and fit, and she’ll do club gymnastics while she is there. I know there is a thrill to the...

    Parents Legal documents from usag.

    Did anyone/everyone else’s DD receive a big old envelope filled with legal documents about a “bar date” to file monetary claims? The whole document seems to be referring to sexual abuse, which my daughter neither suffered nor claimed... so I’m not sure why she got it unless every member got the...

    WAG Diamond Bars SV Help

    Ok, so I need help. My DD is competing diamond and had a 9.8 SV on bats at her first meet. The SV was verified by the score card, and seen on the judges table by my daughter and her coach at the meet. Her coaches do not have an updated COP (either JO or Xcel) so they’re kinda lost in the sauce...

    Parents Thankful

    Today I am thankful that DD has made the choice to compete Xcel diamond rather than chase L8. While everyone is confident that she will make her score out of L7, being ready to score decently in L8 (by our standards, simply qualifying for states/regionals) is a whole other ballgame. She’s only...

    Seems the problems aren’t limited to artistic..

    USAG is just such a mess. Sigh. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-news-usa-gymnastics-sergio-galvez-resigns-20181028-story.html

    Parents Question about scores.

    As far as I am aware, there is not centralized usag repository of scores, correct? So my DD is competing alone without her team at a meet in a different state. She’ll be all duly registered and be a guest gymnast of another team (which she trains with while at boarding school), with their coach...

    Parents Why don’t parents protest?

    I’ve just been reading yet another thread about the exorbitant cost of a gymnastics uniform, and I’ve got to wonder- why don’t parents band together and demand something more reasonable. Since I’ve seen all the comparison threads over the years, I know there is a HUGE range and some gyms are...

    Parents Xcel to ncaa

    I didn’t previously think it was actually possible, but today I happened across a girl going to NCAA (div III, but still) from Xcel Diamond. She went from L8 to diamond in her senior year. I just thought it showed that you can have an alternative path to the “must be L10 by 9th grade” to compete...
