    Dunno- 5 year olds and dive rolls

    My daughter did knee herself in the forehead once with a dive roll. I asked how that was possible here and a coach drew a picture. http://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/chalk-bucket/33933-how-does-kid-manage.html

    Dunno- 5 year olds and dive rolls

    Dunno, Is that bad in general for kids or just for 5 year olds? Also, is the level 3 vault ok, or is it just better to avoid that level altogether?

    Dunno- 5 year olds and dive rolls

    I'm guessing from what I'm reading here that it's not such a great idea to hold a foam noodle up in the air and having kids dive over it into a dive roll....

    IGC - how much supervision outside the gym?

    While we're on this, if no one minds... not trying to hijack the thread. My daughter is 8 this year and I've been thinking about IGC for her for awhile. It might be something for next year when she's 9. So, I've wondered about the supervision of the young ones too. So, I have the following...

    Parents Private lessons

    Gymmomtotwo, you're daughter is probably just fine without the privates. There are all sorts of reasons that some girls have privates, but they are not necessary for everyone. In fact, there are some people here that have strong feelings that no one should really need a private if the classes...

    Useless REC coaches... Who has them?

    Just want to clarify my post a bit. 1) I was not intending to complain that about there being two separate tracks. I get that. I was just commenting that I think the rec kids should not be left in the dust and be given only a fun class that is not geared towards any kind of progress. Maybe...

    Useless REC coaches... Who has them?

    Mommyof1, I agree with you so much that I wish there was a super like button. I think the rec class should have enough challenge so that those kids who do want to go further than rec have the chance to gain some skills and some strength so that maybe they can be picked later particularly when a...

    Parkour during open gym sessions.. OPINIONS?

    We had that at a gym my daughter used to go to. At first there was just one or two and then there were 20 or more of them. Open gym started to be filled up long before it started and some of the gymnasts got closed out. We had to get there a half hour early to make sure my daughter could get...

    Coach Appreciation Thread

    There are those coaches, IMHO, that really care about how your child does and get such happiness from both the little and the big moments. My daughter has had more than one coach like that in the past. And, we try to give our thanks to those that truly care and who clearly get more from the...

    Parents Update on my DD (Parenting crisis thread)!

    I'm so glad to hear that you made a change and that your daughter is so happy again! You must also feel so much better now too, as all that was going on was probably weighing very heavily on you as well. Take care and happy holidays.

    Parents handwash only leotard

    My daughter has a handwash only leotard from Snowflake designs. Does anyone have a recommendation on the best detergent to handwash this in? And, is there anything else I should know before I try this?

    Parents Parenting Crisis Here...

    I would listen to your mother's instinct here. It is telling you (I can see it right in your post) that something is very wrong here. Sounds to me like your daughter really loves gymnastics. It seems like she would have love it to put up with what she is putting up with at 7. If you heard...

    Parents IGC Thanksgiving - ideas for younger sibling

    I'm thinking about letting my 7 year old got to the IGC camp in Pa on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. But I'm having trouble finding ideas for what to do with my 5 year old while my daughter is in the camp for the day. There's lots of summer based ideas, but what can you do there in the...

    Managing the Membership of Sports Organization: The Legalities of Banning a Member

    Some of these posts are very very long and I'm tired. So, I apologize if I am repeating something someone already posted. But personally, I think it is a good idea to close the loophole which allows nonmember clubs to have teams that compete for an organization just because they have...

    Blank box when trying to edit post

    I'm using Mozilla Firefox. That happened to the first post in the thread, but I was able to edit again after that. Maybe a fluke? Thanks for noticing and posting about it though.

    America's Funniest Videos - uneven bars falling down - Oh My!

    Years ago in my high school (I won't say the year), we had a gymnast who fell and fractured her back so badly that her gymnastics career was over. She was in one of my classes and she was out for months. When she came back to classes, she told us that the school they were competing at did not...

    Off Topic Sports Nanny!

    I've been joking about getting one of these for awhile - but really a secret part of me really wants one. The sports nanny would drop my kids off at their various activities and stay until I could get there from work. It is so incredibly hard to get my kids into activities at times when the...

    Off Topic School Supply Scavanger Hunt!

    Ok....I shouldn't admit this, but I suddenly realized when I was telling someone at work about the 7 inch color pencil, that 7 inches is the typical pencil size..... Now I've just deviated not by size but by having the 12 pack instead of the 8 pack. I think I need more sleep......
