What do you do with old competition leotards/uniforms? Do you sell them? If they can't be sold (if your design is discontinued for example), do you use it for practice? It is just hanging in the closet?

Last year when one of the level 9 boys competed a double back on floor they had him land on a four inch mat. I have seen this done during broadcasts of gymnastics meets so I know it is "a thing". My son wants to compete his double back this year but our coaches, after talking to another coach at...

We've had our competition leos for 3 years and our warmups for 4. We just had about 20 new kids order everything for this upcoming season....however, we just got several complaints from long-time gym parents saying that they want new stuff next season, specifically warm-ups, because they think...

Hey! I wear GK CL Leo's mostly to practice, and it's a little loose on the back and the straps move a bit during floor. I've got some competitions coming up and I want to pick a good size. What size should I request for competitions and how should the leo fit?

Can anyone provide me an idea of what the European standard of scoring is and what does it mean? DD just had her first competition in Finland after a season competing in the US and the scoring seemed much tougher than what she is used to. Last year, she scored mostly in the 9's with occasional...

How tight are your competition leotards? My daughter received hers and it literally ripped when she raised her arms. Everything ordered for her is too small in my opinion, but I am being told she just isn't used to how leotards should fit. This is not our first gym, or her first comp leo...and...

Okay, I am watching video form podium training, Are the US men's uniforms exceedingly tight this year? I have never seen them tug on their uniforms so much. Also, they seem to wear their shorts very low on their hips. It's annoying to watch them tug at their uniforms like we we hope our boys...

How far in advance do you typically receive comp schedules? My work is a place where you need to request schedule changes way in advance typically after the first of the year and our comp season starts in January. I don't want to nag the gym before I know what is normal. Thanks

Preface: She is seeing orthopedic elbow specialist tomorrow, so not looking for medical advice. I really feel like the mother of the year right now! DD has had what she describes as "very mild elbow pain" over the last week or so. She didn't fall or have any kind of traumatic impact to the...

I was curious, anyone ordered a competition ozone leotard? How much are they vs GK. Are they really comfortable because my daughter is really picky about feeling well in her leotards. Pricewise, are they any dirrerent from other company you used ? Any ither company i should look up? Thanks

Why is there no team competition the year after the Olympics?

I need to vent....I don't understand why the kids and parents feel that when you go to a competition they are only competing against their own team. Back story our l7 merged to make just one. The new parents are saying now their daughter has to compete against mine and are worried. I try to...

For all those Canadian fans - here is a link to our Canadian girls (and some) competing in 2017 Universaide in Taiwan. Hopefully they post finals. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCONCa5KupaFApILbkwp_5bA/videos Enjoy :)

Why does the P&G have 2 days of all-around competition?

I am searching for a non-racerback sports bra that provides support for my DD during competition. The neutral colored ones from GK or Ozone or any of the leo brands are the bandeau style that just don't work for her anymore. I can see in her photos that the "girls" are tumbling on their own...

My daughter's team is getting new leos this year and now we have a $450 piece of spandex and mesh sitting in her closet. I find it pointless to just have it hang there and collect dust. What did you guys do with yours???

It seems our gym takes FOREVER to start training (regularly) on new skills. DD has done level 9 for the last two years, made it to Regionals both times but not Easterns.... She is not a fan of level 9 (lol) and is ready to push past this and feels the gym isn't aggressive enough..... Just...

For those with JE boys competing at Nationals, there is a very important Age Group Competition Update #3 on the USAG website. Bottom Line Up Front: No stick bonuses for easy dismounts and graduated bonuses for harder bonuses. It appears that all levels (8,9,10) are affected based on the...

At the age of 39! Laura is a former Karoly gymnast and won gold medal in Sydney at the 2000 Olympics. She is a mom of 3 kids under the age of six. I've been following her of Facebook for years and admire her preserverance and attitude. She posted this video a few days ago. She is amazing!

A few questions re competition leotards: 1. Experience with Dreamlight leos? How well do they hold up, how is sizing compared to GK? Any recommendations or experiences with their variety of fabrics? 2. Experience with mesh sleeves and (and shoulders?) Is the mesh harder to care for and does it...
