    Parents Wrist bands for tiny wrists

    We've never bought wrist bands at a meet. We just bought generic ones off Amazon. I should add that she's 11 and 63lbs. Shes very, VERY skinny. Her grips fit fine. If you have her put a wrist band on, you can physically see the gap. They are loose!

    Parents Wrist bands for tiny wrists

    Has anybody found a specific wrist band for under grips that works well for exceptionally tiny wrists? My daughter is a level 5 gymnast, but is TINY.....she's only 63lbs and any wrist bands I've found thus far just slide around on her wrists. She prefers longer ones for strap bar. Any...

    Parents Chin-up bar?

    I'd like to buy DD7 a chin-up bar.....bonus points if it has free shipping or is eligible for Amazon Prime. Any suggestions as to one over another? Anything that I should be looking for or making sure to not get? DD is about 48" tall and 42lbs if it matters :) Thanks!

    Coaches Xcel Bronze Floor Requirements

    Okay...so, once we've changed the pivot turn to a 1/2 turn is that not considered part of the dance passage in order to connect the leap to the jumps? Just want to make sure I understand correctly. I wasn't on the floor for the meet (I'm really an ex-coach of 10+yr who subs once in awhile)...

    Coaches Xcel Bronze Floor Requirements

    We recently took our little ones to an Xcel Bronze meet. We ended up with a 9.0 start value on floor. Obviously, we misunderstood something in the requirements. Our routine was: Forward roll to straddle stand Headstand Kneel-arch back Stand Leap Pivot turn Straight jump-Tuck jump...

    Teaching Preschool classes this fall!

    My vote - yes, absolutely!!!! You can have it both ways :) I've always used their imaginations in that way....and taught them correct form, etc all at the same time. They don't have to be mutually exclusive. I think this is why both kids AND parents like me, lol.

    Coaches Skill Chart

    After a 5.5yr hiatus from coaching, I'm coming back to coach a young (4-5yr old) hot shots class. Progression from this class is a little uncertain, but they will likely move to a 2nd hot shots class (6-7yr olds) before moving to (current) level 4. I'm putting together a skill/incentive chart...

    What a difference a year makes!

    Just did a little update VIDEO of DD. I was beginning to feel like she wasn't making any progress (though I knew intellectually that she was), but boy, when you put the videos side by side you can really see the difference!!! We're very proud of her and all the hard work she's put in over the...

    What kind of person does this?

    I've run into this so many times! DD gets all kinds of crappy, rude, mean comments on her video(s). I didn't know I could set it to approval only for comments. I'm going to go change my settings right now! Thanks for the heads up!

    Starting a High Performance Team Track ("A" Team vs. "B" Team)

    I guess I don't seen any issue with it as long as it's done in the manner you're stating. I know people keep bringing up "writing off" the B teamers. I don't feel like that's what you're saying. I think it can be a good thing to have 2 different streams. One a little slower paced, but still...

    Making daughter quit for lack of improvement?

    ^^ I agree. Okay, this may get long, redundant, and a bit jumbled up, but here's my thoughts: I completely understand the idea of, why should we put all this time, money, and effort into something if you aren't going to give it 100%. I have had to have that conversation with my oldest...

    Back Handsprings..Too Young?

    Oh, I didn't mean that the video you saw could have actually been DD, I meant that some of DD's videos could fall into that category (mom spotting in the living room or backyard) :)
