    Best sports for gymnast to transition into??

    One of my grandaughters quit gymnastics after her Level 8 season and started competitive rock climbing...which she absolutely loves. Didn't see it mentioned so thought I'd mention it as another option. She told a friend in another state and that friend also switched sports to rock...

    Does anyone make/customise their own leotards?

    My daughter has been making leotards for about 6 years now, it took her about 6 months to 1 year to perfect the pattern but she can now pop them out like nobody's business. It certainly has helped pay the bills of her two daughters for gymnastics instruction/competitions....but it has been a...

    Gedderts Twistars....way to go Jordyn!

    Never thought of what I have a Wieber fever....but that's a good definition of it. I've watched her train at her gym and she is so focused while being so kind and nice and humble.......all that stuff....I think as long as she continues this way, the sky is the limit.

    Do they give you a score at a mock meet ?

    A lot of gyms hire actual judges to judge their girls...At our gym they ask the judges to judge very hard, in other words if it can be a deduction between .1 - .3...they tell the judges to go with the .3...usually they get 8's...but when they go to an actual meet, they score 9's....seems to work.

    Parents Competitive Rock Climbing...anyone ever heard of this?

    Well after two broken hands (displaced fingers and this last time left one finger bent pretty badly), 2 broken feet, sesmoiditis, and both bones in her arm broken...she is finally done with gymnastics....it was pretty much the back handspring on beam that did her in...she loved the sport but is...

    Parents Competitive Rock Climbing...anyone ever heard of this?

    Looks like this is what my Level 8 gymnast has decided to do instead of breaking herself any more at gymnastics....not sure...is this safer????:confused:

    Parents Prep Op and Level 6 concerns...please read and comment :)

    Our gym is "off and on" with respect to this issue....sometimes they do 6, other times they move on to either Prep Opt or 7 depending, I believe, on the skills of the girls they are working with. This year they had a "score out meet" for L6 and are now working on the 7 skills...if they get...

    Help with BHS on beam

    Wish I knew what to tell you...I know shoulder flexibility is a major issue to get it right...and you really want to get it right because if you don't you end up like my grandaughter who broke one hand in 2010 and the other hand and a foot this year doing bhs on beam and missing....thinking she...

    One more gymnastics fan question - Olympic Trials

    Never been but sounds like a great opportunity to see some hopefuls...I guess my question is, is your DD old enough to enjoy and really appreciate it or would a zoo be just as much fun?

    Parents Has anyone been to the Presidential Classic in Orlando?

    Our gym doesn't take teams out of state until Level 7 as it is too expensive, usually the girls are young prior to L7 and just not ready...makes sense to me.

    Flip Fest Inv. leotards

    Still no leo at our gym....thinking the leos they are sending are only going to gyms that have said something and gave them the gym name, which I complained but never told them our gym name so we aren't even getting the crappy ones...too funny.

    Back From Camp :)

    That's pretty amazing...or were you close to having these skills prior to camp and they just "tweeked" them?

    Flip Fest Inv. leotards

    My DGD hasn't received that leo yet either but I'm sure she will never wear it as it does not designate anything to her....This certainly has left a "bad taste in my mouth" with regard to how this has been handled...and I always thought the Flip Fest people were suppose to be...

    Parents Is there any reason to not allow gymnasts to use chalk on beam?

    Good to know Dunno, thanks, I didn't know that.

    Parents Is there any reason to not allow gymnasts to use chalk on beam?

    So is it being said here that chalk does not help keep you from slipping? But if it does work for that then are you saying, you'd rather see the gymnast crash than stay on the beam cuz you can't use chalk? I'm just a bit confused....

    Parents DD's Question

    It doesn't make any sense to me why you went back in (especially with your DD in toe) after all the CB comments giving the advice not to...but, as they say, it is what it is...personally my DGD's left their original gym several years ago (when there seemed to be a mass exit going on and my...
