Thank you for the well wishes, my daughter really did not start until last year about this time. As far as when we will know, three schools have said that they will be making decisions in January the others have stated that she is on their white board and they want to see how she does this...

I will weigh in and say that I believe the service would be beneficial to those athletes that have had injuries and don't seem to be getting the responses they are looking for from the schools at the top of their list. My daughter is having great success on her own with a not so stellar start...

After practice twice a week. Privates at our gym are going on everyday before and after practice for an hour. Our girls practice from 3:30-8:00 M.T. W. F and Sat 9-1. Parents pull their kids from school early to have privates. Our coaches are making bank of the privates and the parents who...

Yes I know the family and yes she is from our gym. The funniest part is these are the parents that pay for two private lessons a week throughout the season, the coaches all think these parents are amazing. Well I have sat by them in the stands and they are so critical of their daughter. It...

This one takes the cake, at Western's a child on my daughters team placed very well top three and after the meet was literally throwing a little tantrum in the stands. I was appalled by her behavior and honestly very confused. My daughter placed very well too and had nothing but a smile...

My daughter did one meet to score out of level 5, then competed level 7, then level 8 then level 9 she repeated and will move to level 10 this next year. Repeating level 9 this year was a personal choice for her as she knew Level 10 bars would have been a struggle. Repeating level 9 and being...

@Seeker my daughter is June of 2002 and is a level 9 Sr. 2. The JR. 8 group will be 14 at the time Westerns is completed.

There are no Jr.'s that are 16 my daughter is 14 and is a SR.2 and she will not be 15 until late summer. 13 is the max age at Jr.'s for Level 9.

I just posted in another thread about Level 9 being the same. It is beyond me why they will not take top 56 JR's and the top 56 Sr.'s at level 9 and the top 56 Jr's and the top 56Sr's. at level 10 from each region. Then breakdown age groups at Nationals. Why would you leave kids at home that...

Last year was my daughter's first year at level 9, her Birthday was the actual cutoff day for her division and she ended as the 1st alternate. It was hard in the end because looking at all the other age groups she would have qualified to Westerns in every single age group except the one she was...

My daughter went to Montana this year as the alternate but sadly or gladly depending on how you look at it did not compete. Her birthday was the cutoff for Junior 5. Had she been 1 day older she would have qualified. In all other 15 age groups she would have qualified. In the end we decided to...

What if the level 9 performs backhand spring layout step out and falls. Does she start out of a 10 and then .5 for the fall. She also connects the switch back tuck?

Region 4 SD level 8 20 hours per week $430/month plus $2000/year booster fee for registration and coaches travel we pay our own travel.

Hey Doc Ali, my DD just started your web camps last night. She seemed relieved and happy afterwards so Thank You! Question:my daughter is a level 8 gymnast and for the past year consistently casts over on her cast hand before her clear hip hand. She crys after practice and it seems to be getting...
