Today I was doing a full turn, my baby toe got stuck on the floor and then I heard an extremely loud crack. I freaked out as my toe was becoming numb, it's not really num anymore but it still hurts when I walk. I know that most of you are not permitted to give medical advise but I was wondering...

Hello! My xcel gold state meet is this weekend, and because of my age it may be my last meet ever and I really want to do well. I have problems with my full turns on beam but only when I keep my left toes on my right knee. however, if I have my left toes on my right ankle then I land it more...

I have been falling when doing the punch front dismount off beam. I noticed a few other people doing round-off"s and since I have a meet in just two short days, was wondering if there is a deduction for competing a round-off as a dismount for Xcel gold. Thanks!

I really don't know where to start and I don't want to give to much info... Well here it goes.... Every practice I have very very much trouble with a skill, this has created a tension between me and my coach. It is very stressful to me. My coaches imply that I am not trying... I AM! I am trying...

Just a quick question, The other day at a meet I saw my starting value on bars was a 9.5...? My coach said it was because I don't cast to horizontal. I was just wondering what would happen if they started you with a 9.5 but you did cast to horizontal. Would they add five tenths? Thanks!

Long story short. yesterday I hurt shoulder flying into my trampoline net, it feels like something is very off as well as slight pain when I brush my teeth and pain when I do basic gymnastics moves such as cartwheels (I tried one this morning to see how it felt). Any way, I'm going to practice...

Today was very stressful because of one thing... Squat ons. Every time I do a squat on I do it correctly, but when I catch the high bar I always slip/peel off the bar. I will most likely be missing some meets because of it! Any advice?

I was just wondering how everybody feels about gymnastics at home. I did not have that much home equipment growing up but I did have a little beam that was low to the floor, and I had a panel mat. What do you guys think about home bars, beams, mats, and more?

I recently had a meet in xcel gold and I scored my lowest AA score In my life! I think it was close to a 35.00. Anyway I was wondering what AA score you needed to go to state. and if the AA Score that gets you into state can only be reached at the first meet or throughout the season? Thanks!

Any gymnastics day camps around America that are serious enough and not just playing around? If you know any that are for the day time could you tell me which one and where it is?

Last year after meet season was over (may) we all got special awards and AA pins, two girls (including me) had the highest all around scores, they said that our pins were on back order. Three months later I reminded my coach that I had not gotten mine yet. Reminded her again in September, she...

My sister is 12 years old and I really don't know what to get her for Christmas. She loves almost everything gymnastics related. Any ideas?

My highest all around score was back in the old days Bronze xcel! 38.35 Let me know what you or your DD"s highest all around score was!

Just a question for you. The first time I ever competed I was 12 years old and I was shocked to learn that makeup and glitter of any kind was prohibited at all meets for my gym. I was very upset because I saw so many girls with light makeup and glitter in there hair. Does your gym have the same...

I have my front tuck off beam (pretty much) but I always fall on floor. It's very frustrating especially becuase pretty much all my teammate have gotten it. advise???

Bars is something i struggle with, i pretty much have my kip and I have my chin up pullover of one leg. My teacher says that if I want to compete I have to have my chin up pullover of two feet slow. But I can't do it it's to hard I can never get on the bar. Advice?

When I go for my front handspring on vault I either don't have enough heal drive and I'm really slow, i bend my arms or I bend my legs.

coach always says that we are "Jumping" off the beam when all of us are trying as hard as we can to stay on. She says "you have to be hanging upside down on the beam" and when you do she says "that was so dramatic. Don't jump off the beam!" so lately when a girl falls (jumps) off the beam the...

I get sick very very often and It has been driving me crazy but this week even more so. I got sick last Wednesday and missed practice Thursday and Saturday, Monday I was pretty much better and was back to doing my everyday activities but Tuesday I woke up not feeling top notch, I felt worse then...

I can do a squat on and catch the high bar 40% of the time. The rest of the time I fall backwards. My coach always tells me I need to "Lean farther" but if I do so on average a go so fast I don't have time to catch the bar!
