Hi this is my first post here, having found this forum and spent the past few days poring over the posts. I can see me spending a lot of time staring at my computer.
I have a daughter aged 11 who has been doing gymnastics since she was 7. Unless you count the years she spent beforehand, upside down and trying to do stuff, in which case she has been doing it all her life. She trains 6 hours a week in a development group and competes occasionally but the group doesn't work towards any levels or grades.
Due to hypermobility issues, we didn't start her early and so she will not be blazing any trails in the gymnastics world but she has some solid skills and a genuine love for the sport. She always tries hard and feels proud of herself every time she puts on her club tracksuit and, for that reason, she will always be a champion in my book.
I'm very happy to have found this place and I look forward to making friends with more people who don't think I'm insane because I run my life around something that is important to my girl and spend whatever money is left on leotards. Nice to meet you all, thanks for reading.
