for optionals, we have like 10 competitions per season. what about u?

there are a/b 11 meets to chose ffrom(go to as many as you want), plus state and nationals. Then we have two post-season meets, good for nationals practice or just to see how high you can place. One of them, Badger State, gives the girls in YMCA's to see how they compare w/the club level.

we have about 10 for compulsory and optionals too. unlike the YMCA though, the team members don't really get a choice about competiting unless they have a good reason - otherwise the owners of the gym will consider taking you out of the team

Yeah. Level threes are only require to do three meets, everyone else-5. Most people go to a lot more though.

competitions like one every weekend during season for optionals. probably like 10 competitions per season.

same, competitions r usually every other weekend, sometimes 3 weeks in between, and sometimes 2 weeks in a row... ...then comes States! and Regionals!! and Nationals!! :D

the optionals team at our gym had 3 weeks competition in a row this season...and now this weekend one of the teams is a team of 1.5 (the 2nd person is only doing like half of the events)...guess there was a lot of hard landings and not enough rest and good competition & practice scheduling / planning. ....gotta get ready for states and regionals and nationals!!

We have our last meet b4 state this weekend. I'm so mad at my mom. Hse said that track practice went too late(5:10) and I couldn't go to gym b/c I'd burn myself out. Gym started at 6. She's upset that I don't get my b/wo on beam consistently and then forces me to skip one of my two practices a week! That so doesn't make sense.

that sucks! and right before your last meet before states! level 6 had their state competition in the winter at our club. guess yours is in the spring because it's ymca? Good luck at your meet!!

USA men's worlds team members take 1 day - 1 week off of gym practice after Worlds in Stuttgart: http://attblueroom.com/sports/teamusa/mediaplayer.php?pid=115758&item2=Episode%2011%20-%20Rest%20and%20Refocus&PHPSESSID=2edef80401bd8af24c4300fcc5aa9f86 Good to make sure not to overstress. Practice smart.
