    Dunno - I was hoping you would weigh in here. :D Thanks for the insight. She said she wants to go for it. So onward we go.

    Parents Daughter broke hand - needs titanium plate

    Her hand doc (sports med hand specialist for the White Sox and Chicago Bulls), said a plate will hasten her healing because she can start rehab right away. She want to try to be competition ready in 2014. If they did pins, she would have to be immobilized for 3 weeks and have two separate...

    Parents Daughter broke hand - needs titanium plate

    She doesn't think any of this is a big deal and expects to compete in 2014. I guess maybe she might.

    Parents Daughter broke hand - needs titanium plate

    Ugh. My DD, getting ready to compete the new L6, broke her hand doing ROBHS on the tumble track. The crack/snap was heard by everyone within 20 feet. She just placed her hand wrong. She has a rotational fracture of her 3rd metacarpal, her finger is kind of pointing in the wrong direction. A...

    Parents Well, I think we are done.

    *update, and brag alert* We finally found a gym - a park district gym that would take her back in October. Her practice schedule (number of hours) was cut in half compared to the time she was spending in the gym per week at her old gym. They moved her back to Level 5. Today we did a meet in...

    Parents Well, I think we are done.

    Thanks for all of the ideas, there are so many of them and I appreciate it! She did a trial class for sports acro last night, not sure how much she really liked it though. She said during her first ROBHSBT tumbling pass since her back injury, her back cracked and she feels so much better! She...

    She was cut from the new gym too. I started another thread about it. :(

    I have never heard of Xcel - maybe that is an option. I went to their website and couldn't find any local club info. I will continue to look into it. Thank you so much.

    Parents Well, I think we are done.

    I think it is ultra-competitive and I am looking at the wrong gyms OR, there is something that I have said or done in the past that has blacklisted her. I can't think of anything that I have done but at this point I guess anything is possible. I appreciate your suggestions about the Y team etc...

    Parents Well, I think we are done.

    I feel like I am the crazy one. She asked me last night before bed if she could do a beginning gymnastics class somewhere to see if she got an invitation to be on their team. Prior to her back muscle pull, she was working back handsprings with much success on the beam, front walkovers on the...

    Parents Well, I think we are done.

    Last night my dd was cut from another team tryout. This is the 3rd time in 4 months teams have said no to her. She is rehabbing her back after rehabbing her wrist, she is too tall, and lost her kip again throughout the last month because her coaches didn't want her in the gym with her back...

    Parents Sports Medicine Doc's "return to practice" letter and instructions

    She is not giving up and we may have found a new gym ;). I am pretty sure the mistake that I made was choosing the wrong the gyms for her to "tryout" in. We have so many gyms in Region 5 it is hard to figure out where to go. Keep your fingers crossed. BTW...she worked out last night and her back...

    Parents Sports Medicine Doc's "return to practice" letter and instructions

    I think the other gyms where she tried out, were looking for kids that could and would go elite only. Some of the gyms that I talked to via phone and email said that their groups were full and they just couldn't take any more kids....One gym said that they didn't let new comers on the team...

    We tried very hard - no one would take her.

    We never switched. It became really complicated at the last minute.

    Parents Sports Medicine Doc's "return to practice" letter and instructions

    Thank you so much for all of your thoughtful replies. My DD had her bone scan Monday and we saw the doc today and her back looks great on the bone scan, no fractures and no pre-fractures. The doc thinks she has soft tissue pull/inflammation that is causing pain and said she could go back to the...

    Parents Sports Medicine Doc's "return to practice" letter and instructions

    Mary maybe you are right, he has made us feel unwelcome a few times prior to this incident. That is why I kinda felt that is what he was saying too.

    Parents Sports Medicine Doc's "return to practice" letter and instructions

    That is what it sounds like to me too, I just wanted another opinion in case I was off base. Very sad, my dd works so hard, is so committed, never gives anyone any trouble, I don't bother anyone over either. Makes me want to cry actually. She loves gymnastics more than anything.

    Parents Sports Medicine Doc's "return to practice" letter and instructions

    Hi everyone, I have not been on in awhile. My dd tweaked her back doing something other than gymnastics. It hurts when she bends backwards....she took a couple of weeks off and of course I took her to her sports medicine (pediatric doc) doc and they did an xray and it was negative. The doc said...

    Parents How do I get my hands on "the book" or a good video on L6 compulsory skills/technique

    Haven't posted in awhile, curious if you guys can help me out. My daughter wants a copy of what she calls "the book"....the book that all the coaches pull out and study to see if she is doing the routines exactly the way they should be done. She also wanted me to find out if there is a series...
