Does anyone have the inside scoop on when these will be posted? The schedule was posted July 29th last year so I have been checking the website constantly for the last 10 days.

So we have been in tears at our house over the last weekend. My husband is being considered for 2 promotions. That part is great. The sad part is that we would have to move yet again. My daughter has been at 3 gyms, each has been long distance move. In some ways the gymnastics is the sure...

Over winter break, our gym has a shorter sched so the whole team practices at the same time. My dd just comes home crestfallen after sharing the gym with the tops training girls. She wants to be in that group so badly. I feel like I can't come up with the right words to say other than keep...

Not sure if we should do individual post or all meets from past weekend under 1. Here is our Spooktacular too. My J's results I didn't get to video tape because I was pulled to help at the score table. And I actually remembered my camera this time. :o Vault - 9.1 2nd Bars - 9.05 3rd...

I love how excited my gymmie gets before a meet. She started the countdown yesterday. It also surprises me because I would be nervous if the roles are reversed. She definitely has her dad's competitive spirit but doesn't seem to ever get upset if a meet doesn't go well. Anyone else have a...

Can anyone point me to a video that shows a good hollow on UB? I found a very nice one on thegymcoach site but it uses Bridget and Ivana. The details between what makes one better than the other is so minute. :) Still pics would work well too. Thanks!

We just had bday party at a trapeze school. The instructors kept commenting on how the strong the girls were and I think both were former gymnasts because they discussed the difference in grips on bars vs. trapeze. There were some counterintuitive movements that made them really think but what...

Anyone want to give it a whirl? A summer meet with easy scoring. Dad videotaped so I'm not sure how the out of order beam came about. You also get to see her ADHD in full out since she doesn't take meds in summer. YouTube - Nutmegs Day 2 , July 25, 2010

I was looking at comp routines on YouTube. Many times commentors will find extra deductions and mention their region has tougher judging. Of course, each commentor thinks their region is harder. : ) Since the judging is a national standard I was wondering if there is any truth to their pov. I...

On the elements where you have high kicks, should you kick as high as you can (and still maintain form) or only horizontal to the hip? Is there a deduction for holding handstand longer than 1 sec?

In talking to coach about dd progression, she mentioned that dd doesn't put up the scores that she should be based on her practice sessions. Dd goes into meet with the attitude that she is going to knock it out of the park so I don't think it is confidence. She has mild ADD so I wonder if she...

We just learned that no one is moving up in compulsories at our gym - including gymnasts that came in top 5 at states. Any idea what the advantage of doing that would be?

There is a possibility that my hubby may be transferred to Vancouver BC. My daughter is a 9yo lvl 6. Our current gym here trains elite (although that isn't her game plan). Any suggestions for possible gyms if the move does happen? Ideally, she would continue working with a strong competitive...
