    Competition time 2015

    Our compulsories are end of March, only a few weeks after the alpha factor comp. So probably a sensible decision to leave it, given it would have meant different routines! Think the coaches are really putting every effort into them doing well at compulsories. Hours have gone up again and they...

    Parents How old was your child when you knew you had a gymnast?

    New here, advice on changing clubs please

    My DD (aged 7) actually moved from a big competitive club to a smaller competitive club and is much happier for it. From our experience the big club was very pushy with hours from the get go.

    compulsory confusion..!

    Thanks for replies :) yes coaches seem very approachable, which is great. True, she has progressed immensely already. Just the thought of her doing giants on the strap bar unaided seems almost impossible to me! From what I can see, all the other skills (although hard) sound attainable within...

    compulsory confusion..!

    Hi..first post here! My 6 yo DD has been in a competitive squad for a while now, (admittedly still don't seem to know enough about competitive gymnastics) and I have recently been told by coaches that she is on the 'compulsory track' and they are aiming for her to compete in Compulsory 5 next...
