Isn't that what DP compulsory and lower level optionals are? If gyms follow the skill progression and incorporate conditioning/physical abilities shouldn't they be successful. I will say our gym does physical abilities type activities each practice and does actually score the girls...
Easterns last year was at a Nazareth college in Rochester, NY but hosted by RGA. During Covid there was a meet inside RGA but the annual meet they host is offsite.
Does anyone know where Level 9 Easterns or DP Nationals are supposed to be in 2023? I am surprised nothing has been announced yet. I feel like some gym has to know they are hosting.
I am able to get in on my phone but not PC. I can get to a specific page but not the home page. If you are looking for something specific I can try to link it.
I think part of the downturn in numbers could be due to COVID shutdowns over the last year and a half. I would think the girls training elite would be more impacted by any gap in training that could make it even harder to achieve elite/national team status.
I would call the ortho and see if you could get a replacement brace or inserts. They should be able to do that without another appointment, but most likely you would pay out of pocket. Get a quote and compare pricing.
Paid in full for March. No tuition for April, May, June. Summer training starting in July when the gym re-opened. We did have 2-4 zoom sessions per week during May and June but still no tuition.
His statement of 7/6 and phase 3 makes no sense, when he has said all along that recreation was phase 4. Phase 4 should start in most areas by the end of June. Small group practices is less risk than day camps and he has already said those can start 6/29. Our gym does team camp and rec camp...
Can she cast to handstand and go over? When the girls in our gym are learning this skill they practice on a single low bar with the intention of going over. This teaches them how to safely go over the bar (they turn like a beam dismount instead of arching) and makes them not afraid to go all...
I have done morning camp and pick up at lunch, afternoon camp drop off at lunch and paid someone to help with before and after times and help with driving. I was able to find a college student that had limited summer classes. I also use a lot of vacation time in the summer working only during...
Ours doesn't have this kind of policy either but I have definitely heard of gyms that do. I totally agree on the issue with sick kids showing up at practice as I have seen it happen to the detriment of others. I do know that many school sports have an expectation that families don't go away...
I am surprised people are questioning the rules regarding vacations. I thought a lot of gyms had rules that no missed days are allowed the week prior to a meet or you can't compete. That is similar to a policy that limits vacations. Other sports and activities (cheer/dance/ scholastic sports)...
I think it is important to realize different gyms have different standards. Some will move up or let a girl compete when she has a skill and others require the skill be to be executed cleanly, well, etc. Our gym will move girls up missing 1 skill consistently but may make them scratch the...
It's also possible that they weren't doing these things at the beginning of the season but have improved and added skills as the season has progressed. Most teams do not move girls up mid season.
