    Parents Routines used in mobility meets

    Hi all! First time poster here. My daughter is currently in Excel Silver and will finish a season and then have a mobility meet for level 4 (and maybe 5 as well). I know that JO compulsories have the same floor routines. Would my daughter be able to use her current excel routine for the...

    Parents Fall State Meet Compulsory qualification with spring score?

    My daughter competed 3 spring 2022 level 5 meets. Does she need to compete level 5 in the fall to qualify for states if she already qualified in all 3 20222 spring meets? Would rather focus on optionals training in fall. There was no state meet in the spring FYI, unlike during the 2021 when...

    Anon Seeing other teams at meets

    My DD moved Gyms for many reasons but one being her coach yelled and embarrassed her and after that incident (among other things) we decided to move. As her meet scheduled is now available she is getting a bit anxious of seeing the old coach again. What is the likely hood she would run into...

    Anon Upgrades during meet season?

    Curious - does your gym have the girls work upgrades during meet season? Our gym doesn't but I've seen quite a few that do.

    Parents Meets question

    Does it matter what meets are attended? We were informed all meets will only be in our home state due to rising gas prices.My dd will be in her second year of Level 10 so I'm concerned. Shouldn't she need to attend big meets?

    Parents Meets

    When it comes to traveling outside of your local area for meets - any cost-saving tips/advise that you have learned along the way? Do you come the day you are only competing or are you stay the whole time (ex: if it is a 2 day meet) to support and/or is it required? From talking to the coach, a...

    WAG Looking for competitions (friendly meets) within Europe

    Heyho! Does anyone have an overview about upcoming competitions in Europe that are not Europeans? I mean meets, that allow participation of gymnasts from other countries. Something like this here: https://www.satus-uster.ch/zoc22/zoc-infoe.php but in the second half of the year. My gymnasts...

    Parents Meet Concessions

    SOS!! How much food does your concessions stand go through in a meet? If you have 40 athletes and an additional 150 or so people there, how much food would you prepare? Concessions for other sports seem to be busier and sell more. So, what do you estimate for your concessions for a normal...

    Parents Advice for how to handle shifting teams now that the meet season is over?

    Hi all! We're wrapping up our first competitive season and looking for wisdom on how to handle the upcoming team shuffles. My daughter really loves her teammates, but I just met with her coaches and they are moving her from Silver to Gold. This is unexpected for us as she joined the team late...

    Parents State Meets

    Hi everyone! New member and gym mom here, and I’m so grateful to have found this site. My daughter qualified for the State Meet (she’s XCEL Bronze) and I was just wondering how it differs from other meets. Is it just a larger group of kids so tougher competition? Do they still separate by age...

    WAG Bad momentum meets starting up again

    Hey everyone, I'm a 17 year old gymnast and for the last two years I rarely had a meet, because of strict lock-down measures. Since the start of 2022 all measures had been dropped so gymnastics meets were finally back on the table. Since then I've had two meets and I failed badly at both.. I...

    Parents Meet etiquette

    I've seen some less than acceptable parent behavior at meets. Hopefully I haven't been guilty of any! But, especially for folks new to this, maybe we can share some etiquette tips to keep in mind during meets? I thought this event I witnessed at a recent meet was very annoying and...

    Parents Do you record meets?

    Just curious where opinion stands on this, there is no right or wrong. And, there are different reasons why people may choose a preference. Personally, I'm adopting a policy to not worry about taking videos at meets. I used to, every event. Now I prefer to just watch and enjoy. Plus, I am...

    Parents Early morning meets

    So far in DD’s short gym career, we’ve avoided the dreaded 8 a.m. start…until this weekend (and again the Sunday of time change the following weekend ). My kid is SO NOT a morning person. Like no matter how early I send her to bed, she just is not with it in the mornings if she’s woke up before...

And it hurts when I point and flex with wht I see as...

    Parents Meet Scores Online

    Am I missing something? I feel like Meet Scores Online used to have live meet results, but for all the meets we've attended this season when I click on the live meet scores I just get a waiting message for what seems like an eternity and live scores never appear. Are any meets posting live...

    Coaches Why do bad coaches win meets?

    My head coach brags to me about not needing to lesson plan for her Xcel Diamond/Platinum groups, winging it is enough. When I'm out and she subs for JO, I give her a lesson plan, and she will reuse a single day's lesson plan for months. One gymnast did her first ever double pike (never tried...
