Thanks everyone for the great input and advise...always good to hear from parents with experience. To address some of the questions raised- the scores that were emailed to us were PDFs, and looked like PDFs from some of the "official" score sites, maybe they sent them to us because it was an "in...

Hi, level 2 mom here...we had our first "in house" meet. Our gym emailed the scores to us. I had a very general question about scoring, and the owner of the gym flipped out a little on me and told me not to look at scores, don't talk about scores, and for our level 2, it would probably be the...

Our public middle schools allow for PE exemption if a student/athlete has a certain amount of practice hours per week (sorry, I'm not sure how many hours) and they also allow the student to leave school an hour early (PE is scheduled last hour for athletes). You said your principal asked for...

I learned yesterday that Level 2 training will only be 9 hours a week, instead of 12 (the gym is making changes for lower levels I guess?)…. SO glad about that. I was concerned that going from 2 hours a week to 12 hours a week would be overwhelming for her. Thanks everyone for all of your...

Good idea, I'll definitely do that! :)

Thank you all for all the info. Looks like it's very individual to the gym... I forgot to mention that our level 2 does compete. Which I guess was part of my concern...she's skipping over pre-team and level 1, which does not compete. Seems like that would have been a good transition for her...

Hi all, I'm brand new to the forum, and my daughter is new to gymnastics. I'm not sure if this is a question for a coach, or parent. Any input/advice is appreciated! I actually have two questions/concerns... 1) In a matter of 4 months, my 7 year old daughter went from a Beginner in a...
