    Parents Question about US Competition levels and ages

    Our club will be attending a competition in the US. I have looked at some of the results and I am confused on how they break up the groups. In Canada they are level and age. Sometimes the age is a couple of years together. Is it the same in the US? The ones I looked at said junior or senior...

    WAG L8 - 'Up to Competition Level'

    Now that competition season has started for many gymnasts, I'm wondering what everyone is seeing as the standard for L8 and above for the 'up to competition level' requirement. I'm curious if the optional C skills seem to be in play or what the general standards are to meet this requirement (it...

    Parents Level 8 competition

    Hi there....I heard recently that there was a recent switch to include Level 8 in a National competition beyond the Regional Meets? I thought L8 went to Regionals and that was it but have heard that changed this year? Is there any truth to this? I thought maybe it was since the Level switches...

    WAG Competition nerves... desperate

    I have terrible competition nerves. Not just the normal ones either. I throw up/get sick before the meet, sweat much more than normal, get very hot/run a fever, become very dizzy (I even fainted before my first meet), am shaky, trouble breathing and sometimes teary when normally I hardly ever...

    Parents DD had first in-house competition! (and question)

    My DD started gymnastics this past summer, and got invited to pre-team in fall. This weekend her gym had an in-house meet. She didn't place, but everyone received a trophy and she was so excited. It gave us a good taste of what competing would be like (especially with bringing siblings...

    WAG Just competed my last competition ever

    So, this weekend just passed I competed in my final state championships at level 7. It didn't quite hit me how final this was until i was putting on my comp leotard realising this was probably the last time I would ever put that leotard on, the last time i would walk out onto the floor and...

    Parents Preparing new level 9 for tough competition

    My daughter turned 11 in September and has her first level 9 meet on Dec 1st. She had a rough level 8 season last year (highest AA was in the 34s) and her confidence was shaken since she didn't get many medals . I really thought she would repeat level 8 but she had a great summer and here we are...

    Parents Do you "break in" a competition leo?

    We got the leotards for DD's competition (so cute!) and the material is pretty stiff (well, not stiff exactly but tight.) Are we supposed to break it in before competitions? Thanks!

    WAG "warming up" DURING a competition?

    We were at a competition a few weekends ago and something strange happened. I'm wondering if this is normal and I just haven't seen it before, or if it is truly as odd as I (and some other parents around me) though. We were on the 3rd rotation. It was a traditional schedule meet - warm up...

    Coaches Competition order

    How do you determine your event comp. order? I know some gyms keep it the same at every event at every meet. Some will stagger their better competitors with their weaker ones... What do you do?

    WAG Competition leotard colors

    Trying to order new competition leotards but can't decide on a color! Team colors are garnet and gold, so we are thinking either garnet leotard or plain black leotard. Debates have been that black will hide sweat and look better on everyone but the garnet will be more flashy. Any thoughts?!

    So DS is hooked, and we know this is where he is supposed to be. Our gym attended a fun competition this weekend (leg lifts hanging from the wall, pullovers, mushroom, step up on block, hold a handstand, still rings hold position, vertical leap and rope climb). It was a great experience and...

    Parents Need advice on competition hair for short hair

    I have a little one who has always had issues growing hair. She recently turned six and still had very short, THIN, wispy hair that barely reached the nape of her neck. She would often leave gymnastics crying because she so desperately wants a ponytail and all of the other girls have one...
