DD is repeating level 4. Bars has been her struggle. She's one of this kids that works hard but skills take a long time for her to get.
Last night she came home from practice excited. She made all her kips and all her squat ons. I was so happy for her! Fingers crossed that she is past the...
Sitting here up early on a Saturday looking forward to waking up a bunch of grumpy bears here in a minute so we can do a six hour drive to a meet I can honestly say I am ready for this season to be over. DD has really struggled this year and there have been a bunch of tears. And I'm ready for a...
Would anyone being willing to share with me their Athlete Code of Conduct and Parent Code of Conduct? We are trying to implement these at our gym.
Thanks in advance.
DD is struggling this year. She is 9 and L4 and that darn kip is hit or miss. She had it. Got grips. Lost it. Got it back. Had a growth spurt and its a hiding again. Cartwheel is either beautiful or a mess. Vault was her best event at L3 and now it's not.

She came home last night and told me a boy in the other third grade class told her he LIKED her. Her response? She challenged him to a push-up contest. She won. :)...
8 year old DD just started complaining of heel pain this week. We are heading to the doctor for something else and plan to mention it. Should I ask about Severs?
Dd seems to have one skill each year that comes harder than the others. This year is the kip
Well Monday we had the emotional breakdown that seems to come once each year. Usually it is followed in a week or two with the skill being achieved. Hope the pattern follows and she sees the break...
I know this has been discussed before, but I need some advice.
DD is 8 and there are two girls in her level that are already showing signs of "mean girl" behavior eventhough they are even younger than DD. DD came home with hurt feelings last night, although I was proud of her for standing up...
My never tired, never stop moving, always on the go child came home from her first TOPS training this Saturday, tired. No handstand in the living room. No cartwheels. No bounce, bounce, talk, talk.
She actually sat still and watched TV. :)
