You should use mymeetscores as a reference for finding a big list of gyms and locations.
You've got the Top Teams pages - search many years and all levels

Very good article.
Best.
I find it interesting that you told us that you're at "a top gym" in the area in the very first sentence.
I might be taking a turn down a steeper than necessary path here, but this topic makes me think back to the "gymnastics is f***ed" blog that hit the internet a few weeks ago, and so many...
Wow - big, interesting (to me at least) topic with so many directions to go.

I'd be careful about projecting your financial related frustrations to your daughter. Sounds like she's not getting support from the coaches, so she needs to be able to tell you how she's really feeling.
You said twice - "I don't want her to miss that" and "I'm getting frustrated..." -- who's...
"although I know I can get there. I know for sure I don't want to stay in my current gym, though."
I grabbed these 2 phrases from your link because I think they are important. First, you acknowledge you're a little nervous about entering the new gym, but you show some confidence that you'll be...
Hi Chalkbucket. I found the site last weekend and have been an avid reader ever since. Lots and lots of good info, opinions, insight!!
DD finished her first competitive season in March - proud to say she was 1 AA, Vault, Bars in the SoCal Xcel state meet in Bronze. She'll be 7 in October, so...
