    WAG Which grip brand to use?

    My dd started using Ginnasta double buckle grips about 2 years ago and loves them. There is very little, if any , breaking in needed. Now a lot of her teammates are switching to them

    WAG Talk to me about back problems...

    I hope it is just muscular pain, but she still may need physical therapy and time off. The physical therapist told me that my daughter's back is in a constant muscle spasm caused by the bone injury. She has been doing deep tissue massage on the area and kinesiology tape which has helped...

    WAG Talk to me about back problems...

    My daughter is recovering now from a back injury. We were luck and we caught it early. I took her to a pediatric sports ortho the day after she started having pain (hers was a 7 also). The xrays showed nothing and the ortho told me a regular xray wont show anything unless it has been there for...

    Rhythmic

    Itis definately difficult to learn the rope, ball, hoop and clubs because artistic does not help devlop hand eye coordination like other sports. On the up side she had no problems with the front walkover, back walkover and turns. Her execution scores are always high. On the downside they hold...

    WAG Shameless thread time. Optional on the horizon- TMA!

    The coaches at our gym do their own choreography except for my dd. she is a level 8/9 artistic and level 6 rhythmic gymnast so they bring in an outside coach who has experience coaching both. The judges love the rhythmic moves they have put in her floor and beam. It's something they never get...

She also is taking tennis lessons and has taken dance since she was 3. She understands that she must make a choice in what she does as there are only so many...

    Doing rhythmic gymnastics and artistic gymnastics

    My dd is 8 and is currently training level 6. Because her muscles have grown quickly she has lost some of her her flexibility. Last week she went with a friend to a rhythmic gymnastic class. She loved it, but also loves her regular gymnastics. The coach at rhythmic gym said she would love for my...

    Gym Recommendation

    I have a 6 year old daughter who is preparing for level 4 (she just turned 6 a week ago). I am not comfortable with the gym she is at. There is no communication with the parents. We never know what their schedule is going to be, they change it with no notice regularly. Additionally...
