    And I thought gymnastics Judging in NC was political

    I myself am a varsity cheerleader and compete with my high school. I have never heard of judging like that! That is ridiculous. I know us as a squad try to get all of our categories in 9-10 range, and tumbling is 9-10 for a full! That would be so frustrating because of trying so hard to get in...

    Advice for gymnast from small gym

    We use our pit for pit bar and stuff, and its a great necessity, but it won't make or break your career. We don't really use it tumbling wise, a lot of the class kids play in it..

    Team Leotards...Who Chooses Them?

    Our gym usually lets us have the freedom to pick leos, both Gymnastics and T&T. Because we are in them all day, we prefer to have something comfortable, so we usually get something pretty, but comfortable and affordable. We don't really have drama over it, usually everyone likes it. We pick top...

    Advice about changing gyms..

    yes. i am training level 4/5 gymnastics though. my current gym owner says i'm too old for gymnastics (13).. it's not that i really want to be an "olympian", but i want to have the experience. the new gym would allow me to be both on gym and tumbling team.
