    Parents Taking a tumbling/trampoline only class

    Anyone have experience at the rec levels of taking a tumbling/trampoline class in addition to regular gymnastics, in an effort to get better at floor (and because your kid likes it)?

    Parents Class Disruptions....

    In my DD's class the majority is younger elementary gymnasts and a handful of older middle school gymnasts. The past few classes there are constant disruptions from the younger gymnasts that stop the stations and practice altogether. It seems to be a particular group of girls. The coaches are...

    Parents An extra class or privates?

    DD is asking for more time in the gym. She currently does 4 hours 2x/week. She wants one more class. She doesn’t want to focus on one skill that I would ask for privates, but multiple things on each event. Have you always stuck to the class times or asked for an additional class or just...

    MAG Distracted During Class

    Hello! My son is 7 and has been doing gymnastics for about a year. He LOVES gymnastics and has the strength for it. He is currently in the beginner class for rec gymnastics, but he really wants to move up and his coach talked to us about a month ago, saying he was keeping his eye on our kiddo to...

    WAG Does Circus Trampoline class help train Gymnastics?

    I wanted to take a Circus Trampoline class. Do you think this class will help with gymnastics? I always thought doing this class would be considered 'cheating, and creating sloppy technique' in real tumbling (for front flips, backflips, side spins, etc). Reason is ease of use from jumping on...

    Parents Online social psych class for HS credit?

    Hi gym parents! My DD is looking to take an online class in order to get to gym on time. She is looking to replace her HS social psych class with something online. This may need to fulfill some kind of health credit. Any ideas? Especially maybe from homeschool families? It will just be this one...

    Class Types

    Hi Every one, we opened a new gym end of last year & were doing ok until the COVID closure hit, we are struggling to get our regulars back as they prefer to stay home a little longer (schools have still not opened and we still have quite a lot of daily cases where I live) to make up for the...

    Parents Non-Gymnastics Class Types

    We opened a new gym and struggling to meet the numbers, we introduced Ninja class which was a HUGE hit but COVID closure did us no favors and most parents have chosen to stay home longer and not return to the gym just yet. AS PARENTS, apart from the regular gymnastics, what classes do you feel...

    Parents Rec girls class and handstands

    So my daughter (5 almost 6) recently made the switch from the "littles" classes to the regular rec gym. She is loving it. But I am noticing something and I am wondering if it is odd.

    WAG Communicating info about class progressions and team track

    How does your gym communicate information about class progressions and team track stuff to parents (and athletes, especially if they're old enough)? Inspired by a post on the parent forum with a discussion about what to expect with a young child on a pre-competitive track and how gyms...

    WAG Preschool/Mommy & Me Class Ideas

    I know this has been discussed a lot, but I can't seem to find any threads that are exactly what I'm looking for. The classes I teach have 18-month-old (mommy and me) up to age three in the same class. I'm having trouble coming up with warm ups/circuits that would work well for these age groups...

    Coaches Help with 4-5 yr old Boys class

    I've been asked to coach a young beginning boys class once a week for an hour. I can't not seem to keep the boys attention no matter what I do! Boys are so much different than girls. I don't even know where to beginning. In short the entire hour is spent yelling the boys names to even listen to...

    WAG Any harm in not-perfect out-of-gym dance class?

    My DD wanted to take a ballet/jazz dance class this summer to prepare for a school-based choir performance group next year. Of course, it couldn't hurt gymnastics, right? Except that there were only a couple of studios within reasonable distance that didn't conflict with gym AND were offering...
