daughter

It has been about 8 months Daughter is doing great. Has no regrets about not continuing gym at this point. Cheerleading has not been as bad as I thought she is getting ready for her 1st competition next month. She is even doing some flips in the routine and she is a least saying how gymnastics...

I have not been following my other post since I was just getting to upset and emotional about it. I figured it was best just not to read them anymore. But, I did want to give an update as to what the final decision was, and why. DD had her State meet this weekend. She was very happy and...

Well, dd had her sectional meet this past weekend. Unfortunately, she did not do well. She had a higher score all-around last year, at the same exact level (level 6) by about .4 We tried to stay positive and did not say anything after the meet. DD did not seem too concerned. I finally was...

I know that I will probably get a wide variety of opinions on this but I am wanting to find some parents that at least understand what I am going through. My daughter is an 11 year old repeating level 6 gymnast. She did not have a great year last season. She scored around a 34 to low 35 all...

My daughter competed her first level 6 meet this weekend. I think she did fairly well, but level 6 is TOUGH! She hasn't scored in the 7's in 3 years, so it was quite a shock when her bars were a 7.9. she messed up her squat on among other things. her vault was also rough. She did her first...

A little background. My dd is seven and training level 5. She did compete level 4 last year and going into it, didn't really know what to expect. She went to practice and didn't really care about imperfections and if she got a skill or not. In fact, she went through half the year without her...

I hope I'm posting in the right place...couldn't quite figure out if this fits here! It's that time of year and my daughter has outgrown every pair of her jeans from last spring. She is so tough to fit these days and I'm guessing many of you gymnast parents have similar problems! Gymnast...

So it has been a month since daughter has been out of the gym. I am not sure that she is adjusting. She was told by her ortho doctor to not do anything for 3 weeks let her heels rest and she is wearing arm splints on her wrist. Well that is not working out to well. She is taking off the...

just wanted to remind everyone that Bog's daughter is in surgery...probably as i'm typing and you're reading. keep her on your mind.:)

I decided to check out this series last night. Not for me but to each her own. I sent Bella out of the room since it quickly proved to not be for her age group. But she came back through during one scene and now has a new goal..... She wants to learn how to do flares. :rolleyes: I found...

She had high hopes to skip level 4 and go to 5 but she grew 4 inches and 20 lbs between October and March (she is 11 btw) She was doing so well, then the growth spurt hit and it has been increasingly difficult for her. She went from 4'10 to 5'3 and she isn't done. What is frustrating me is...

My daughter is fairly new to gymnastics. She did 2 rec. classes then went to preteam. She then went to level 3 and competed for the fall and has also competed this spring as a level 3 (has one more meet). My daughter could have moved to level 4 after the fall season but chose to compete one more...

We had our Conference with our coaches last night about weather DD is ready for team or not. 4 out of 5 coaches said no because she has lots of frustration and attitude when she doesn't get skills. She also lays on the floor sometimes and doesn't want to do skills. There are days where she does...

States are this weekend and Emma is very nervous. She was really, really nervous in the fall and messed up on her first 2 events - beam and vault. Ended up doing well on bars and floor though and it turned out fine. So tomorrow afternoon she competes and first thing this morning she started...

My DD has a very good friend at her gym, who for the past couple of years has wanted to quit gymnastics. The first time was after she compted Level 5 and was afraid of the BWO on beam for Lv 6. Last year she wanted to quit because she was apprehensive over moving to Lv 7 and doing the BHS on...

My daughter is 10 years old and an L5 gymnast. She is struggling at L5 (she just switched from L4 to L5 in Jan), which is to be expected. She has recently grown and is tall for her age - she has lost some of her skills, her kip, her back handspring is not very good. She is complaining that...

Hi All, I just wanted to sadly report that after suffering a foot fracture a week before the level 7 season started, the HC decided that my daughter will not be allowed to compete at all. Even though she was healed a couple of weeks before the last qualifying meet before State, the HC said...

Hi, As some of you may recall, my DD did not compete in 2010 after doing level 6 in 2009, and trained for a year+ for level 7. She has had three broken bones in that time, the last occuring one week before the start of her level 7 season. She has missed every meet so far. She is finally...

I just wanted to brag about my daughters coach! Daughter was going through a rough time this year thinking about quitting her coach spoke with her one night and she has not mentioned it since. Then she manages to help my daughter get more confidence in her floor routine and helps her get a...

Okay my dd is a wreck...she has her first meet with her new gym and is really stressing out. She had a decent first L5 meet before switching gyms...now she's afraid of vault. May I add, she had a great practice earlier in the week doing wonderful...last practice she wouldn't do the vault at...
