We tried to set up training near our cabin lat year. Our coach told us the gym was unresponsive to our request. So, we have work outs to maintain strength. She does them three--4 days a week while we are at the lake. We always make it fun and hang out by the lake - sometimes the family gets...

Thanks everyone. I reported it. I tend to agree that not saying anything allows the verbal abuse to continue. I also sent them a very detailed medical report on what exactly she is being treated for with a diagram. HAHA!

Fair enough point, I spoke with the head coach yesterday and told her the injury and restrictions "Weight bearing as tolerated with no running or jumping". I suppose I could have sent it with her in writing at the time but the coaches didn't ask for it.

Hello! My daughter is9 years old and a level 5- has been with the same gym (I also attended this gym) her whole life. I love this gym dearly. I work hard for this gym with countless hours of volunteering and am always championing the gym because it is a second family to us. Lately, one...

Our gym has done it both ways- this year it seems that the girls who scored out of 5 really struggled with 6. So for my DDs team they told us they want them to compete level 5 in the fall throughout the entire season and then skip to 7. They are already working on skills for 7 and 8. So...

I am so sorry you daughter was treated so poorly and by adults who she should be able to count on as a role model. Not to mention the amount of money you are paying to have that adult spend time and instruct your daughter! Perhaps an adult shaming email directly to HC#2 copied to HC and owner...

DD is JO level 4, first meet is this Saturday and our season goes until the 2nd weekend in December which is state.

HA! I tried to explain the hip bruises and pain for wrong settings to my DD and her team friend. They thought I was crazy explaining bar beats!

My DD is 8, is level 4 and does 12 hours/ week in summer and during school year.

My DD is 8, she is long and lean with crazy muscle definition.

Ugh, my daughter has been working on it for almost a year. Last on her team level to get it. Got her long hang (inconsistently) and finally last Thursday got her low bar kip! She made it 6 times and her coaches recorded it, everyone was so excited! She has not made it since :(

My DD is L4- training 12 hours/ week summer and fall for $328/month. Our meet fees are estimated at 610 for the year and we have a club fee of 100 on top of that. Our comp leo is from last year but ran 120.

This thread has been great to read, thanks everyone. My daughter is struggling right now too. I called her at and let her know the suggestion of "pretend you are going straight into a front hip". She has practice this afternoon so hopefully this will help to make it click. She actually has...

We have an intrasquad meet with judges. They were realistic with their scores - our gym uses it as a guide to see where the girls are at prior to the season starting.

It is a very pretty routine and she looked quite solid! To my untrained eye the pauses - perhaps those could have triggered a deduction and the landing. However, was very pretty to watch!

I appreciate everyone taking the time to reply. So I did let go, it was a great week. She ended up getting the skill and was able to compete in bars yesterday. She was happy to compete in all four events again. When she got the trick - she said it was because she was wearing her lucky...

Thank you, it is exactly what I needed to hear! It sucks when you know she can do it but you are right - has to be for her!
