competition

I pulled my daughter from gym a couple of weeks ago due to spiking Covid cases and a lack of precautions. I now feel comfortable sending her back with new precautions but our governor has put a stop to all non-collegiate sports competitions. I told her she can go back expecting excitement but...

I was just checking to see if USAG had any changes for this upcoming season. Am I reading this right? Have they changed the completion age to be by birth year? 2007= 13, 2006= 14, 2005= 15. I just want to make sure I understand this correctly because it does change things up a bit.

in region5. Ive noticed that some girls switch back and forth between competing jo and xcel. For example first two meets at level 3 a couple meets at bronze, another level,3 meet and then xcel state championships. How does this work? Does a gymnast have to declare a track? Or can she...

Does anyone know the deduction for showing the back on the competition leo?

Scalabis Cup in Santarem, Portugal. Just wondering if anyone has any info on it? Good or bad experiences?

I am in sticker shock at the annual competition fees at our new gym. (Boys Level 8/9/10 *athletes ELEIGIBLE for Nationals $2250) Our previous two gyms did fundraising to offset expenses and coach travel. Curious how much other parents are paying in the DC/MD/VA area if you guys don't mind...

I have two girls who have been doing gymnastics for a little over a year. My oldest daughter whose 7 was on a pre competition team for a little under year and a few months ago she was moved up to competition team. I’m finding now that her and the other new girls who moved up are being left out...

Does anyone know which leo companies have these and can they match "close" to the gym's set style already?

Hi guys and girls, I'm new here, my 8yr old daughter is a gymnast and swimmer so is very active and therefore healthy as well. Anyway, my first post is regarding a competition that she was competing in with her group at the weekend. The competition didn't go well, she felt like she lost her...

My DD had a rough comp season she’s currently xcel silver (10 yrs old), her very first comp she competed as xcel bronze and scored 4th in vault. Once she was switched the scores were in the low to mid 8’s throughout the season she kept getting a starting value deduction due to having skills not...

Marina Nekrasova of Azerbaijan wore a full leg coverage unitard at last weekend's World Cup competition. I think we are seeing the beginning of the evolution towards female gymnasts being allowed to wear shorts and leggings in competition at all levels. I think it will come to pass very soon.

We recently received our meet schedule for this season and many were surprised to see only 5 competitions of them 2 are travel meets for level 6-8 (Level 8 is the highest at our gym). We previously would have 8-9. Is this common? Interested in knowing how many competitions on your schedule.

Just saw the new Leo's for this year. They are pretty in the front, but they have an odd back. They clasp at the top, and then have an open back. My question is what the heck are we supposed to do about a bra? Can she wear a skin colored sports bra like you would with a dance costume? She needs...

Just curious if alcohol and paying for family to fly to a meet is allowed or if there is a law that prohibits alcohol and any charges not related to the competition (ie - flying kids and a parent). TIA!

We have had the same competition leo for 4-5 years now and we are about to order new ones for the next season. The one that we had costs 110-115 euros depending on the size. It's custom made for us. It has very little bling but it's nice enough. The trend seems to be that the new team leos seem...

The dutch gymnastics federation decided to allow shorts in competitions. Before you could wear a unitard, but shorts that werent attatched to your Leo were a deduction. My kids don’t even wear shorts to practice (they are allowed to, most just don’t do it) but for now my rule stays no shorts in...

Hi, I am going to be taking over the leo business at our gym where I will be doing the ordering/helping design our competition leos. Most of the girls/parents love the look of mesh, as do I, but I want to know the whole truth about it. Does it snag? Is it easy to wash? Is it comfortable for...

Out of curiosity... What is your/your gymmie her favorite time and day to compete? What is your/your gymmie her least favorite time and day to compete?

I want to make a shadow box for my DD’s first competition leo, along with some other medals and keepsakes from her first season. I’m not sure what size box i should buy. Has anyone here done this and would you mind sharing what size you used and any other tips when making one?

My son's coaches want the boys to throw their vault the very first time they hit the runway in competition. I have seen other gyms work progressions to get used to the apparatus and take many runs to warm up. My son is doing a kas this year and he can't get his body to do the entire vault the...
