    Parents night sock for Sever's?

    Never heard of it. My DD has suffered from It for almost a year and seems to have ended just recently (fingers crossed). She found ibuprofen before practice, an x-brace and then ice and massage after practice seemed to help. Athletic sneakers with inserts only. She did grow 3 inches this year...

    Parents Difference in meets

    Parents What to eat?

    It's lower issues. She did have a large snack tonight: 1/2 cup milk, banana and some rice cakes and was fine. So I guess we will do the same tomorrow night, just a pain to have her eat dinner at 9pm. We are keeping a food journal to see if there is a pattern. Thank you for all the suggestions...

    Parents How does Xcel scoring work?

    Our gym does the maximum skills for each level at least for the first meet of the season and then if a girl has an issue with a particular trick they change it.
