Gymnastics Competition Survival Guide for Parents (PDF)

Feel calm, prepared, and confident on meet day — even if it’s your first competition.

Gymnastics competitions can feel overwhelming. Long days. Unclear schedules. Emotional highs and lows. And no one really tells parents what to expect.

This digital guide was created by a gymnastics family who’s been there — to help you walk into meet day feeling prepared instead of stressed.

Whether you’re brand new to the sport or still feel unsure at competitions, this guide gives you the clarity and reassurance every gym parent wishes they had sooner.

✔ What actually happens on competition day (from arrival to awards)
✔ What to pack for your gymnast and yourself
✔ What parents commonly stress about — and what truly doesn’t matter
✔ How to support your gymnast emotionally before, during, and after the meet
✔ What to say (and what to avoid saying) on meet day

• Parents who still feel unsure or anxious at competitions
