Hey, I'm going to have my gymnast give this link to all her gym friends. Maybe we can get something started. Here's some info about us. I have a gymnast, 14 years old, level 7. She's been doing gym about 4 years now, this will be her second season as level 7. She had a qualifying score to move up but chose to stay because of injuries and a rushed first season. Our first meet is January 15th in Santa Cruz.
Me, I'm just the gym mom. I drive her and her friend 112 miles round trip 4 times a week to the gym. I coach rec gymnasts 2 days a week to help pay her expenses (I do love it though). I have 3 preschool classes, 2 schoolage girl classes and 1 boys class. We are just starting to teach all the girls the level 1 routines for some skills meets that our gym will be holding in the spring.It's so much fun!
I love working with the kids and since I'm a coach , it gives me access to the floor where I can watch the optionals work out and ask Coach about anything I want to know. It's really been educational for me.
Any other parents out there who want to talk?

My wife and I are new parents of a 7 month old girl, Maggie. We have both been involved in gymnastics all of our lives. Now we run a gym in Oceanside, CA. It is called Gyminny Kids Gymnastics. We have around 1000 students at any given time. We are a fully recreational gym. Our highest level kids would be around level 6, maybe 7 on some events. Since we were both competitive gymnasts we created Leotard Crazy to keep us more connected to the competitive side of gymnastics.

I'll be fifteen in August. I have more flexibility than anything else and have been doing gym for almost ten years. I compete at the local YMCA. I'll be repeating level six after an unsuccessful year. I am a class-a gym rat. Although I can only go twice a week, I come to practice early and stay late. I also attend the weekly open gyms on Sundays and sign up for any of the special "holiday" open gyms. I do cheerleading twice a week plus games in the fall/winter on Fridays and Tuesdays for basketball season. In my spare time, I like going to the track and working on the machines and attending a pilates class. My friend(volleyball player) and I both run(she's better) , play tennis(strictly for fun), and may end up using our school's weight room in the summer mornings. That's all for now. ttyl
