Your own gym may have generous team mates who pass down. I know DD selects girls she gives her leos to. On the other hand this is a very expensive sport and if you are struggling with the practice leo prices then the rest is really going to be a problem. Good luck.
DD has her BWO on beam, front and back tucks are solid and clean. Kip cast above vertical, clearhip re kip consistant could hit the handstand more.
Good luck to your gymmie in L8.
DD did well in:) her meet scoring a 36.0aa. It wasnt her best meet but she got the job done. She had not been training 5 leading up to the meet so she wasnt as polished as she could have been. I know had she stayed a 5 she would have had a rocking year like last. Our goals have been adjusted...
All I can say it has been a roller coaster ride lately. DD was hapily training level 5 and on her way to what looked to be a promising year. She was looking polished and ready for the season. All of a sudden the plans have changed. Coaches want to bump DD to level 6. After DH and I moved past...
Wow we only have one season here. In the past it has ran from Nov through May. We have been on the same schedule as the optional levels. Two of our meets are out of state so they do not count for us to qualify for States. That is what is killer. OUr gym requires our girls to have a higher...
I bribe / reward dd. We just wont discuss the level of bribs. We already have deals in place for States this year. DD has told her Daddy to be prepared to pay up :-)
We condition as a team based upon the team performace at meets. They have to do x pushups for falls on the beam and x vups for falls on bars. It tends to make them more serious about their focus and routines at meets.
DD has also had conditioning put in front of her if she didn't fix...
I have to say I agree with group punishment/conditioning. They are a team and they need to learn to treat each other with respect. It that requires them to condition as punishment then so be it. DD had this when girls were goofing when they were 3-4 years old. One goofed around they all had to...
DD is a level 5 and her regular training schedule is 12 hours a week. 3 days at 4 hours a day. They condition about 1 hour per practice so 3 hours a week. DD does additional conditioning on her off days and she does 1 private a week and 2 hours of open gym a week. In the summer she does about 16...
We have had this happen before. There are may factors that come into play for the groups. If it were me. I would just try to see about scheduling privates to give your dd the extra help you feel she might need. Of course that may not work for everyone who is in your same boat but doing an hour...
