I have had a few gymnasts go into pole vaulting and they are very successful! Wishing you the best.

Agreed. I'm sure the coaches didn't do this intentionally. They may have been waiting to make sure that she had all of her skills and she was prepared mentally and physically. I'm sure she will be happy to compete either way. Good luck at your last few meets.

I am a coach from region 4 I would like to be part of it. Thanks

Michigan ave has a lot of stores. They call it the Magnificent Mile. I think they have like over 60 stores so that could be fun for the older girls (teenagers)

Thank you! I definitely didn't start argument or anything. It was more about wishing for that 1992 classy gymnastics look:)

Very exciting. I hope they look great!

Yes pulled up into a bun. Thank you guys. I know it's definitely not a battle I will get into. Just personal preference.

What level are you in? In certain levels you do need to have three elements in a tumbling pass. However if you could do a round off 1 1/2 into a punch layout it would be a great way to add some connection bonuses. Lots of gymnasts don't use the back handspring and if you get more power without...

As a coach I would never say someone is "not coachable." I think that is one of the worst things you can tell a child. It would be like telling a student that he/she is stupid. If you are looking for reasons to stay I would suggest leaving. At this level and in the TOPs program another gym with...
