I'm volunteering for a boys' meet at my daughter's gym this weekend. I've only ever been to two meets (my daughter is new to gym and so am I). My job is to be a flasher--the one who holds up the score counter thingie (not sure if it's called that everywhere or just at our gym). At the other two...

My daughter joined the level 3 team this year, and her first meet is next weekend. I've never been to a meet (or any kids sporty thing, for that matter). What should I expect? Anything I should/shouldn't bring? About how long do these things last at this level? (I want to make sure I bring...

My daughter made the level three team last month, after 10 months in rec classes. She's really enjoying it. She doesn't quite have her ROBHS or that thing on the bars where you go around with the bar between your legs...but half the other girls don't either, and they're working on it. Here's...

My daughter, who has been in rec classes for 10 months, was asked to join the level 3 team. We're all very excited, and she starts next week. The schedule, though, is 4:30-7:30 two nights a week, and 5:00-8:00 a third night. We eat dinner on at 6:15pm, on the dot, all together, so this will be...

My daughter is only in rec classes so far, but she LOVES her coaches (and so do we--they're fantastic). I would like to get them something for Christmas, but I'm not sure if that's a thing people do. This is our first year in gymnastics, so I have no idea what the norms are. Do you get your...

I've seen people here mention a pull-up bar for strength training at home. That sounds like something I could buy my new gymmie. I have no idea what to look for though...I looked on Amazon and they seem to be meant for grown men. My gymmie is nine years old, 48" tall, and 50 lbs. What should I...

Hi--I am new here. :) I have been lurking here for a couple of months and have learned a ton, which is great because I am totally new to gymnastics. So thank you! I have a brand new gymmie , and we have had fun buying leos for her. Her favorites are the shiny kind made of a fabric called...
