I am about to order my DD a new pair of grips and was wondering if anyone on here had experience with this brand: Welcome to Ginnasta USA
They sound a bit too good to be true but if they really break in quickly, I know my DD would love them.
Thanks for any feedback!
State meet-the toughest meet of the season. She was in a much tougher section this year than last and I had no idea how things would go. Of course to look at her, she showed no nerves. ;) Started on floor-she put out the best floor routine of the season after working hard on it at practice the...
We were thinking of getting tickets to the NCAA championships in April 2012, but I have not been able to find out when they go on sale. Does anyone here know when that will be? Thanks!
DD likes to set goals at the beginning of the season. One of her goals for her 2nd yr of level 4 was to make a 38 AA at some point this season. Well, I am proud to say that she met this goal this past weekend. :D She has come such a long way since this time last year and has worked so hard to...
Well, the season is officially underway for DD. 1st meet of the season was yesterday and I think it's safe to say that she is fairly pleased with herself, at least on 3 of the 4 events. :p Bars went smoother than it did at Judges' Cup so she saw her score rise here: 9.45. Beam: ugh! She had...
Well, can't help it because seeing my daughter grinning from ear to ear had me wanting to share this. She got her kip tonight!! She has been working so hard on this and it has been her main goal over the past 6 months (ever since the coaches started uptraining). She had the older girls...
OK all, would really like some input. DD had her last meet a few weeks ago and was a bit disappointed, especially with her floor score. Would like to hear what you think was her score. Having trouble putting it on here, so I've put it on my youtube page. Link is below. I'm proud of her...
Well, my DD's first level 4 season is winding down. After a fun local meet (Flip Fest), we headed to Indianapolis for Circle of Stars. It was a huge meet with something the girls had not seen before-they used a strip of floor, instead of a whole floor for the floor routine. The team was a bit...
Well, despite the crazy weather this weekend, we made the trip to DD's state meet. It went pretty well. For the first time this season, she scored above 9 on three out of four events! Beam was still her roughest event, but not a bad first time at state, I guess. :) She scored 9.225 on floor...
Does anyone have ideas on where to find cute gymnastics themed shirts and sweatshirts? We owe my daughter a sweatshirt, since we didn't have time to shop at the recent state meet. Thanks for any advice!
Hi everyone!
It's been great keeping up with the meets and how everyone is doing. It's been hectic here and I haven't gotten to post much. We just got back from the Huntsville Invite and I am so very proud of DD that I had to share.

She had a rough meet in NC...
Well, Bella's FHC fairy must have dropped by my DD's gym because she also got her FHC tonight!! She's been so close, but it just came together tonight. She is extremely proud of herself- she hasn't stopped smiling since she left gym. Whether the FHC shows up at the meet this weekend remains to...
I wanted to post my daughter's videos on her most recent meet. She is a 1st year level 4 (6 yr. old). Would love to hear impressions and score guesses. :)

Hi everyone!
I am new here and want to learn more about competitive gymnastics. My 6 yr. old daughter is competing level 4 this year and will have her first competition in Sept. Needless to say, I am a bit nervous- I did not take gymnastics as a kid and have no idea what to expect. I am really...
