    Booster Club questions

    ...that's what I thought...=( You see the catch here is that our treasurer IS an accountant AND he works for a law firm!!! LOL So, that is why I'm thinking there HAS to be something in the filing that is being done differently...but it might be why we are always told "it's too complicated to...

    Booster Club questions

    Tuition is always to the gym only. The booster "assessment fees" are supposed to include: Team meet fees Coach's traveling fees (food, gas, session) Social fees (banquet, Christmas party, goodie bags for gymnast). I have spent probably about 2 days reading so many websites and info from the...

    Booster Club questions

    But the fees we are required to pay are given to us by the booster club. Not the gym. We paid our fees to the gym for entry fees and coach fees for the one meet we participated in that was out of season. This might not change anything..but I just wanted to clarify. I will be PM'ing you - I did...

    Booster Club questions

    This is VERY interesting stuff!! Thank you VERY much for taking the time to type it out! I'm still very confused though.. We're going to be meeting very soon with the club again and I'm just a nobody really with a lot of questions. Our treasurer has a law degree ..so nobody questions anything...

    Booster Club questions

    Thank you for the reply! So technically, they cannot keep you from competing or can they? Out of about 46 gymnast we had 4 that left without fully paying. We tried to give ideas such as "if you pay after the due date you have to pay more, like a late fee". They said no, that wouldn't work. I'm...

    Booster Club questions

    Hello! I'm now starting to get more involved in our booster club and several of us have many questions regarding how things are done but never really get a straight answer. They often say it's "complicated". I'm sure it is though. Some of things we are wondering and hoping someone can point us...

    Sinding-Larsen-Johansson Syndrome??

    I tried doing a search but didn't find many posts on this. It seems to not be as common as Osgood's? My 9yr old was just diagnosed about 2 months ago. Her knee was pretty bad off before we got the diagnosis, we thought it was a fracture, she had a little pocket of fluid that you can see on her...

    Conditioning/Injured- On her own-LONG

    Well, my daughter injured her knee (most likely a fracture) and has been out for about 1 week with three more to go ( at least). She's a level 6. I'm trying to get ideas for what she can do for conditioning. I know..ask the coach. :rolleyes:....BUT... the first day she came in with her brace...

    Returning from injury? LONG

    Thank you! On Thursday I just gave in...she still couldn't run and it hurt more after religious icing, stretching and motrin....I pulled her from practice and just took her across the street to an urgent care for an X-ray. I knew that was far from a "specialist" but I wanted some answers asap...

    Returning from injury? LONG

    We are still at the beginning stages of this sport and we have a looot to learn. ;) So while my brain tells me she'll has time to recover....I'm not sure what to expect. My soon to be 9yr old will be redoing level 5 this season (due to not having enough coaches - long story) Anyway, she had...

    Lower levels indicators of optionals?

    Hmmm...interesting! Thanks for the replies! Yeah 18-22 hours or so is typical around here so I know that where ever we go, the amount of hours required are going to be very similar. For level 4 they trained 12-16 hours. She did "fine" at state in her other events but she did win 1st on...

    Lower levels indicators of optionals?

    Hello! I think I've asked this before but need to hear it again! LoL my dd just turned 8 last month and just started her level 5 season. Her level 5 looks like it's starting off just like her level 4. She ends up with middle of the road scores. I'm always blown away by so many in her age...

    HELP ME with the BUN!!!

    Her hair is almost down to her waist, it's very fine and curly. She doesn't like it right behind her head because she says it gets in her way when she does her backwards roll? Not sure what it's called..they pretty much roll back to a push up position (level 4 floor). So I try to do it way up...

    Slap the level 4 mom...

    Please, take a swing...bc deep down inside I'm KNOW I'm probably being unreasonable BUT I HAVE to ask. For those that haven't already read my 1000 questions she's a young seven, level 4 USAG. First season, 4th meet. In everyone's experience, how much does how they do in level 4 weigh on how...

    Ballet..a benefit?

    Yet another question...lol.. Again..level 4 USAG, young 7 :D Coach says she looks sooo pretty doing her routines BUT she's "TOO artistic"..LOL..is there such a thing?:p She explained it to me and it makes perfect sense, she's lacking "the lines", she's "flowing" too much. I always told her...

    Level 4 missed skill...how much off?

    I'm curious once again... Level 4 USAG, on the beam no falls etc. but missed that handstand "twist" at the very end (not sure what it's called hahaha). Finishes and salutes etc. Coach then tells her to try again. Gets it this time. I'm wondering...I thought if her feet had hit the floor and she...

    Protocol for when you fall...level 4

    Interesting... OK so let's say she's on the beam...and falls when landing from a handstand...does she get back on and try the handstand AGAIN to land it OR does she just pick up where she would after landing from the handstand? SO let's see if I got this right. Let's say she gets up on the...

    Protocol for when you fall...level 4

    We just had a meet today, her second meet, level 4, just turned seven. She fell off the bars on her shoot through (sp?) all of a sudden. So this is what happened: She gets on and completely forgets to do her front hip circle (has never happend before)! :D She goes on to do her shoot through...

    Level 4 scores/How bad? LONG

    Thank you all for the very helpful replies!!!! You all make great points. As far as the hours. Yes, we went back and forth about the hours. I was TERRIFED to say the least about letting her train that many hours. I actually posted about it on here. It was mentioned that if we're in region 3...
