Yay, I love Bladez. So creative with those shorts. :] LOVVVVE it.
Yeah, I like those shorts too. I remember a while back, we had a debate on the skirts or shorts... I dont remember the outcome but how are they working out for your girls? Do they like them more? or do they prefer the traditional skirt? My only concern would be the posibility of them riding up my inner thighs! YUCK! haha

We LOVE the shorts and so do the girls. They are a tight fit, so there is no riding at all. It totally eliminates the pulling at the skirt. Someone wrote that they saw the girls fidgeting with them still during the routine, but I haven't seen that at all. I just know that all the kids really feel comfortable in them. I'm sure we'll see more shorts next season on the circuit!

AirborneOwner · GURU

They do not allow video taping at this event. At least they have not for the last 4 years. Hope that helps.

After looking at the schedule I would have to say "WOW!" it's going to be a long competition.

What happen to AP? Which River City is going? The team from Sacto or the team from IA?

Caspiritlala · Veteran Member

Wow, this is going to be a fun competition! So excited!

LadyW · Senior Member

yes I agree -- even in the dance end -- there are teams we have never been against or seen (Az, and CO). Should be a fun way to end the season...

I was reading the schedule for this weekends competition and I'm having a senior moment. What is the difference between Sm Gym Jr Level 2 and Jr Sm Level 2?

Small gym is a gym who has less than a certain amount of members (usually it is 150). Small (without "gym" mentioned) refers to the size of a team (usually 20 and under). Some competitions divide it this way to avoid having too many in a division, figuring that larger gyms have an advantage over smaller gyms (a larger pool of talent to draw from).

Hope that helps!

Thanks....I figured it was something like that after taking another look at the schedule. It was just confusing because they did not do this for all the divisions and there are some teams that you think would fall under sm gym (because of the size of thier gyms) and they are not listed as a small gym.I guess I'm over thinking it so I'm going to stop.

If you are technically a Small Gym you do not have to sign up under small gym....hope that helps.

Fierce Coach · GURU

I don't really like that option. I think everyone should be in the same category.

AirborneOwner · GURU

I think it is a good option especially for teams that are truly a small small gym....meaning less the 100 kids....For us we take advantage of it sometimes and other times we do not for example our Small Seniors are competing regular divison as well as our Junior 4 then our Junior 2 is competing small gym.....either way Junior 2 is always very competitive. I think there are more teams in Small Gym Junior 2 then regular.

Fierce Coach · GURU

WE are a small gym also... well technically not really, we have about 110. But minus those ten girls we are, and I'd much rather compete in the division as a whole to know where I really stand.

AirborneOwner · GURU

I can see your point. I just like the way you have an option.

The only problem I have with this division is that people compete small gym in some divisions and regular in others, when small gym is offered and applicable. Although we are a small gym we are competing in the regular divisions offered. I think next year they are no longer offering those divisions based on the USASF age guidelines. Honestly a small gym is 60-70 and under. 100 kids is 5 small teams which is a nice size in my opinion.

Well one more day and we are off to Anahiem.... I think it's going to be a great weekend and just wanted to wish everyone going good luck...
