My daughter just turned 8 years old this week, and is on (new) Level 4. She has been in gym since she was about 3 (off and on when she was younger) and competed last year for the first time as a (old) Level 4. Last year she had an amazing season! Worked hard, stayed focused (as much as I...

This is my daughter's first year in competition, so I don't really know what to think at this point. All along our coaches have been saying that the leos will be "very tight" and need to be stretched out. But we finally got them on Saturday (first meet is this Saturday) and when I tried it on...

I'm sure this thread has been done before, but the only ones I can find are pretty dated. Please tell me what good camera recommendations are for meets! My budget isn't huge! I am going to be making videos for the girls of photos throughout the season and would like to start with some...

My dd is just starting her first season of competition. She is a first grader, and is a L4. She does practice three days a week, for three hours each. She absolutely loves it. She loves gym, the workout, the coaches, and her teammates. This is also the first time I've experienced a couple...

My dd (7yo, L4) just got her assigned gym buddy! She is so excited to get to know her and cheer her on! Her buddy is a 17yo L9. Throughout the year the buddies will support one another, buy small gifts, cards, etc. Nothing made to be too expensive or burdensome, just someone to support and...

DD (7yo) L4 is going to have her first meet in a couple of weeks. The only skill she does not have is her front hip circle on bars! Several girls on her team don't have it completely yet, so I tell her no worries! But she cries a lot about it after practice because she's afraid she won't be...

L4 DD is allowed to pick her own ending pose, now that she's got her ROBH on the floor. Some of the girls are coming up with some really cute ideas, like blowing kisses, thumbs up, etc. DD isn't so creative, so we're looking for some suggestions! She just turned 7 and is still considered one...

I am just curious... my dd is only on Preteam this year, and we are waiting to find out if she will move up to compete L4 this summer. I LOVE our gym. So far, I see a lot of great friendships at our gym between parents. I am very good friends with a few other preteam moms, and most seem...

My 6yo dd is finishing up her first year on Pre-team at our gym, and is currently being considered for L4 (our gym starts competition at L4). She loves the gym, her coaches, etc. We're just waiting to see what happens next. My question is this... we have a friend (and teacher at our school)...

My dd is 6 years old and has been on Preteam (level 3) all year. Our gym does not start competition until Level 4. She's spent the year on preteam, working hard and anticipating a move up to Level 4 this summer. Up until about two weeks ago we thought she would be moving up for sure. Even as...

My daughter has a career day coming up at school. Her class is participating in a hat parade! She has to make a hat that describes what she wants to be when she grows up, and of course that's a gymnastics coach! :) I really need some creative ideas on how to design a hat that could describe...

My daughter is 6.5 yrs old, on Preteam at her gym. We are told she has a lot of talent, and right now she is on FIRE for gymnastics! She loves it! The one thing she is really struggling with - and has struggled with for two years - is her roundoff. Seems simple enough, but she has cried and...
