University of Utah just committed an eighth grader! She just finished her first level 9 year and did not qualify to easterns.....WHAT THE HECK?

I need a little help with a scoring deduction for level 10 Bars. My dd had a good bar routine this weekend and got a 9.150. Her coach thought it was a little low and asked the judge. She said she took .3 off for a rhythm deduction because she swings too slow. My dd has been an optional for 8...

Here is a video of my youngest doing her floor routine. We have our first meet tomorrow and she just got her giants on the set last night. Unfortunately, she has not practiced the fly away out of them yet so I think we will be scratching bars. Older dd hurt her ankles this week so will be doing...

I have been looking at results that have started coming in and the bars scores seem really low....Is there some changes in scoring that are having this effect? My dd first meet is next weekend and I would love a heads up!

A new gym just opened up down the street with 2 coaches from Gymnastics Inc. from Myrtle Beach, SC. Does anyone have any info on them? We have lost a couple of girls to the new gym and I was just curious about their history. I did a little research (very little) and I couldn't find that they had...

We are leaving today for regionals. I am really excited for this part of the season to be over. This season seemed really tough. We had a ton of travel meets and 2 minor injurys made for a rough season. At regionals, my dd has 29 girls in her age group (2 of her teammates have 16) so I am not...

There is a rumor going around our gym that they plan to reduce start value of the level 10 routines to a 9.3. Has anyone read anything about this? I am sure it would be easy enough to get on beam and floor but bars already seems tough to get. How would that work with Vault....whoa maybe I am...

Did everyone know this but me? I guess I didn't pay attention since dd is a 10 this year, but I haven't heard anyone talking about it. 2. QUALIFICATION TO EASTERN/WESTERN CHAMPIONSHIPS a. Eastern/Western age divisions will be determined separately. 16 age divisions for East: 8 age divisions...

I knew this season would be tough but.....We are about to leave on our 4th travel meet this season. We still have regionals left to travel to, but not until mid April. Two of the travel meets were back to back weekends. I haven't even tried to add up the cost...I am not sure I want to know...

DD has her first meet at level 10 this weekend. Luckily, it is a local low key meet. She has new skills on everything but vault. She would have a new vault except that she sprained her ankle the first week in December and could not work her upgraded vault. I just can't believe that the season is...

Hi All! I need a little help. A good friend might move to the Richmond area and needs a new gym. She thought I might know one since we had lived in Virginia Beach area but it was so long ago that I am out of touch. I know there are a bunch of region 7 gymmies out there and would appreciate some...

So excited for our juniors! We now have had both of our juniors accept a full ride scholarship! Now on to the sophomores....this may be a little tough since we have 5 of them!

Finally figured out how to post a video on you tube! Tried to embed it on here....still working on that one. One thing at a time! This was done this summer. This video is of her first try on the set. She is now trying to connect it to her blind full. YouTube - Tkatchev on the set

Has anybody had any experience with Dr Gerald George? He was at our gym yesterday and he did amazing work with the girls. He really encourged my daughter and helped her with her vault. I asked what he was able to say that her coaches hadn't and she said he really broke it down and explained the...

Boy this season has flown by! It has been an interesting one to say the least. DD wasn't even sure that she would compete this year after doing one meet in January. She had ankle surgery in mid January and depending on the outcome was either going to be out 6 weeks or 3 months. She got lucky and...

Anyone know an Optional coach willing to relocate to the Pacific Northwest? PM me and I will give you details.

This season has been going on forever! Next weekend is finally state. Dd is in the last season Saturday night. I think 6 months is just too long for a season. Hopefully dd has a good meet but she is really bored with 5 skills so we will see!

I....Need.....Results! Why oh why are they not posting them live. We have 3 of our 4 girls in the first session!

Just found out that dd made it to Western Nationals! She was an alternate for region 1. She is so excited. The only problem is that when she didn't make it at regionals she took a week off and has only been back in the gym for 2 days. Also, at practice on monday she was only working new...

We just got back from dd's 5th level 5 meet. She had a great meet. She started on Bars and looked great. I know nothing about what makes a good routine but it looked great to me. Her sis said she needed to tighten up on her jump to the high bar but even she gave her high praise. She got a 9.25...
