Awesome. Will meet with her coach on this. He may already be one step ahead of me in that he mentioned in the beginning the request must come from other than the parent with appropriate literature and documentation. Great advice!

Thanks for the tips. I was told by the district there is no option for a supplemental PE class or getting credit for PE in an outside sport (in essence independent PE). I like the idea of homeschool for PE and the arts, so I will definitely look into that. She has a new coach who seems to...

My DD is in 6th grade and a level 8 gymnast. She trains 23 hours a week. She is a straight "A" student and takes her studies very serious, including her PE grade. This was her first year in middle school and she is having all sorts of knee and foot pain. I realize some might be related to...

O Ok That makes sense. I knew mymeetscores was not totally accurate but was curious if there was more to it. I missed her name when I reported scores to the paper and she was hurt :-( Wished I had known to look deeper for her. Oh well, lesson learned

I don't actually see the number. What I am seeing is on mymeetscores.com. She is listed 4 different times, 2 different variations of her name. No one else at our gym has this number of duplicates on this site. Is it possible it is the same number? Just listed under different names??? Although...

My DD is a level 7 gymnast. Her team was all given the same floor routine and music by there coach. We asked for a copy of it and he has never outright answered us or given us a copy. We had an issue earlier in the season where his phone "died" and he used his girlfriends phone (which had the...

is there a reason why someone would register several different usag#s to the same girl? When I look up our team results over the year she is registered in one meet with one number and another meet a different number in the same season. When I look further she actually has 4 different numbers she...

You have no idea. Wish we had another option, but we have limited gyms in the area.

If that were the case we would not have a problem but he did not allow us to do that and lead us to believe he had taken care of it already. The reason he didn't?, his friend was waiting on her work schedule and her daughters session schedule. Both which should have not have interfered with...

One last point.....our compulsory parents will likely be upset since he will not just be canceling practice friday, but now Saturday as well

I appreciate my coach, i have actually gone to bat for him on a number of occasions. As a parent I wish he would fly out on Thursday night to ensure he is well rested and arrives on time. Flights out of our area are delayed all the time due to fog, so one delay and he could miss our meet and...

We have an out of town meet coming up. Our session is Friday early afternoon. Our coach is traveling on Friday and we booked a hotel for him Friday night since we are not sure what time our session will end. I am currently having an issue with the coach wishing to extend his travel till...

We pay 2 separate fees for competion. In June when the coaches pick the meets we pay a lump sum typically around $475 to cover the "actual" registration and team fees. Each year it varies slightly based on what meets are picked and what the host gym is charging, but we pay the booster the exact...

Thanks for the replies. She definitely is not the most flexible. I will have her focus more on her stretching at practice because I know sometimes they forget there is a purpose for them. She took ballet privates for a while, she has a separate ballet class at gym and her coach all working on...

My DD struggled all through compulsory with her form. It seemed no matter how hard she tried or trained she could not fix her bent knees or point her toes. Her coaches always told her she would be a better optional gymnast. Here we are 4 years later and she is set to compete level 7 this coming...
