meet

Anyone attending the Metroplex meet next week?? It will be our first time attending this meet. Looking forward to the NCAA meet also!

I feel like I am the opposite of a CGM. I am struggling to muster enthusiasm for meet season. This is dd's 6th season and I'm just... over it I guess? I love my dd and I'm so proud of her and all she's accomplished. But there are times, especially recently, when I wish she would move on and...

well, meet season is here! Where are the boys competing? D has Junior Rocky Mountain Open (next weekend), home meet, Colorado Open (OPTC), Blackjack, and Junior Sun Devil Classic. FEbruary will stink lol. But I know it will fly by. Hope to see/meet some of you this season! And good luck if...

I recently cut my hair short, it is around chin length. My hair is too short to put up into pony tails or buns. For practice recently I’ve been doing a half up half down hairstyle with a headband. Now that the competition season is near, what are some appropriate meet hairstyles that will stay...

What should I expect? Over the years our family became quite adept at Artistic gymnastics meet weekends. But here we are approaching my daughter's first T&T meet. And I know nothing. I see on the schedule there is a warm up time at the beginning of the day. Does she go to that? Is there a...

My daughter's first ever Level 3 meet is this Saturday. She lost her BHS after a bad landing at practice a couple of weeks ago and has not gotten it back. She said she is now scared to do it, even though she knows she can. She does it with help during practice but is she allowed to not try it at...

My DD has had some tumbling issues (not her area of strength). Her new gym is playing around with her floor passes. They had been working hard on her front layout but apparently it just wasn’t going well. They now changed it to this (she used to do 3 passes at old gym but new gym does not to...

Our gym owner asked me to get quotes for meet awards. We have never hosted a meet before, but we do have a professional meet director and experienced coaches - so they've given help on how many extra to order, etc. Companies though. I did a search and saw recommendations for Crown Trophy. Any...

I was wondering what to give to my team girls as a Christmas gift. I wanted something fun, easy and affordable. I ended up making a printable score / note book. I'm going to print enough pages to make a book that has a page for every meet of the year. Then I'm adding a nice cover, maybe with a...

Well we competed our first official Level 6 meet and despite some issues it went really well. The hotel we stayed at wasnt the best the beds were really uncomfortable so no one got any sleep. DD has been fighting off a cold so without sleep she was miserable in the morning for the 9am warm up...

had a fun time at state this year with the lv4s :D we didn't place as well (18T of 77 compared to 7/73), but our team score was comprised of all 2nd year 4's last year, and all 11 of our 4's this year are first years, so I'm pretty happy bars was pretty great, we went from an 8.9 averg with 16...

Anyone else have a meet today? First meet of the year for D. Moving up to 17-19 L10 age group so should be tough. This meet is smaller and fun, more of a chance for judges to get their feet under them. D is throwing a few things just to see how they stick. Expecting several falls today lol!

I'm wondering if those of you who have been to the same meets year after year have noticed that the sessions/times/days seem to stay the same year to year. With two kids competing different levels for different gyms during the same winter block, I'm just trying to see if someone with a crystal...

I know they don't always get paid, but in the case of a gym without a meet director of their own who is paying someone to act as meet director for their meet, what would they typically pay?

Looking for a great meet near Orlando Florida at the end of February. Thanks!!

We are a small gym and we only do a few in house meets per season. I am looking for something to track scores, do placements, handle tie breakers. I can't spend a fortune, in fact free would be excellent. Is there an inexpensive/free app or program I can get do do this? TIA

My daughter is about to have her first meet in September. The level 3 girls range from ages 7-12. They all compete at the same time. Will they give awards based on age group or all the girls that compete at the meet?

I saw on the website for the Brestyans Vegas meet that there will be event finals for Levels 7-10. How does that work? Pretty sure my daughter competed at this meet a few years ago and don’t recall event finals. Is this a new thing?

My daughter is competing level 5 this year until December and moving to platinum in January if she scores well enough in level 5. The first platinum meet is 16.5 hours away. I haven't even discussed it with my family (just got the meet schedule for the year tonight) but my thought is we would...

Just curious...after your gymnast’s first meet, did he or she enjoy gymnastics more or did the nerves of competition make him or her like it less? Or, did meets not make a difference? My 7 yo daughter is about to begin level 3 competitions in the fall. She likes gymnast plenty right now. She is...
