She was 10.5 when she started using an electric razor and then started using a real one when she turned 11 and before last competition season. She will be 12 soon and she still shaves them regularly. As a bonus it helps keep her eczema under control because the hair doesn't irritate it. I did...

DD last rip looked like this and she uses a balm from the natural (herbal/holistic??) store. It helps cool it down and heal it over a few days.

I am not in the mindset that every child deserves an award for a competition, there are clear winners by a set of standards. I do feel like it was an unfortunate mistake made by the coaches and I would be upset also. TEAM banquets are to celebrate every girl on the TEAM. I have 2 competitive...

I rarely post and I haven't read all of the responses yet but I will give my thoughts. Sorry if it is repetitive. I don't think it will catch up with every kid there will always be exceptions. However, just because it doesn't catch up with them in this sport doesn't mean it won't catch up with...

We pay $405 for 20 hours this includes coaches fees. We live in a relatively medium COL place I think...

We had one a few months after the start of pre team to explain how things were done and what they would be working on and what the end goal was. However I am pretty sure that was out of the norm and we have not had one since... LOL.

We are going to the regionals meet at UofA.. :) DD is SUPER excited!!

we are in the process of dealing with this right now as well. DD has a follow up appt with her podiatrist on the 11th and no vault until then (will be 4 weeks) and we took last week off of gym and 2 weeks from P.E. She over pronates and we got inserts from the drs office ($35) .. right now she...

U of A(Arkansas )..dd and I went to an intrasquad meet therein Friday and then dd had a day camp sat(which she loved!) and we may go to the meet this Friday (I can't remember who it is against) ..she has asked non stop to go haha..she wants season tickets but maybe next year...and we will...

Yeah for team and preteam they all wear leos... the coaches asked that our pre teamers not wear shorts in the intial parent meeting. My dd will not wear them (she will wear them in the building but not to practice in) she is a rule follower.. bt there are a few on her team that wear the...

My daughter mentioned a girl like that today in her group (7-8yr old preteam) and has mentioned her before. All I tell her is just to stay focused and try not to let it bother her. When she is with the coach make the most of her time. It is part of life and sports there will always be some that...

Me too! DD is between level 2 and 3 (on preteam). :)

I dont require it but I do suggest she stretch on occasion. Her coach will sometimes give us things to work on at home and she does for the most part. However she LOVES being flexible and wants to get more flexible so she doesnt have to be "stretched" in class or if she is she doesnt want to...

We have 3 different pre teams at my dd gym. She is on pre-team B ( I think they are by age looking at the girls from each team we know). Group A and B (which are the younger two teams) go 1.5hrs 3x a week.. so 4.5 hours and PreTeam C goes 3 days a week at 2hrs per day... so 6hrs a week.
