    Parents Does anyone else have this problem?

    My dd uses her right leg for handstands and walkovers, but uses her left leg for cartwheels, roundoffs, and turns. Is this something that needs to be worked around for? Would it be a good idea for her to learn her right leg cartwheel instead, for example? She is not at a high level (around xcel...

    WAG Kip problem! Please help

    Hi y’all! I have a problem. I can’t seem to get my kip and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I thought maybe the wrist shifting isn’t good. I have no clue how to shift my wrists, I just can’t. Can you see what is wrong with my kip and what’s stopping me to get it and do you have some tips? I...

    Parents Quarantine Over ... Back at Practice ... Wearing Ankle Brace like her doctor told her ... Ran into a problem

    So, we have been back in actual practice for 3 weeks (3 days x 1.5 hours). YG has been wearing her ankle brace religiously. On Tuesday, she told me her ankle is bothering her. Her brace isn't working. Can I buy her new plastic inserts for it? ?????? Why new inserts? Well, during quarantine...

    Coaches Problem with cast handstand clear hip to handstand

    I'm clearly doing something wrong, because most of my girls (level 7&8&9 skill level, but not in the US) have this bad habit of doing a straddle cast handstand that doesn't entirely go to handstand, closing the legs super late near horizontal (on the way down) and going to the clear hip from...

    Parents When does it become a problem to miss long periods of training?

    A friend of mine just started her daughter on pre-team this spring. They've changed the levels since my daughters were in it, but I'm guessing the group she's in is pre level 1 or maybe level 1, so very early on (our gym doesn't compete until Level 3 so this is a non competitive training team)...

    Parents D8 has been bitten by the gym bug. That’s a problem!

    Hello everyone - what an interesting and knowledgeable forum! This is just a vent and it’s long - we live in Europe, and our problem is very very specific to our national federation‘s rules - so not much point in asking for practical advice, but I could really do with some sympathy, given that...

    WAG Both Legs Are My 'Good Leg' Problem

    So... I have a big problem. I don't have a 'good leg'. I do sideways sills (roundoffs, cartwheels, side aerials, etc) on my left leg. But I do straight skills (front handsprings, front & back walkovers, handstand skills, front aerials, etc.) on my right leg, I also step out with my right leg...

    Parents College recruiting process...part of the problem?

    I just received an interesting e-mail. FYI this e-mail is coming from NCSA, "Next College Student Athlete" which as far as I can tell is a for profit college sports recruiting firm. (And, fyi, they do NOT include gymnastics as one of the sports they recruit for.) We are on their email list only...

    Parents Maybe I have a leo problem

    Does anyone else have a leotard problem? As in buying too many leos for your DD's? My DD is only 6 and leos take up at least 1/3 of her closet. She does not need that many, not even close! She has more leos than actual outfits, most likely. If I see a cute leo, new or used, I tend to go ahead...

    Parents Is this common? Is it a problem?

    DD says her coaches fairly often will tell the group that one gymmie has the best (insert whatever skill here). She only tells me about it when she has the best whatever it is, lol, but she says the coaches do it all the time for most/all skills. Is this common for coaches to do? Is this...

    Coaches core strength for back problem

    We got a new gymnast and she has a slipped disc (probably from too many walkovers). We completely limit all arching. Now I want to give her extra core conditioning for making her core and back really strong. I think that V-Ups work too much hip flexors, so I thought about hollow rock+reverse...

    Parents problem with feet

    My dd during gymnastics I notice she walks toes in. When she was younger I had her to a doctor about her being bow legged and toes in. The bow legs straighten out, but when she is on balance beam I notice that she wants to walk toes in. Is that something that she needs reminded to walk...

    Wrist Problem

    Hey guys! My friend broke her wrist about last month and she got it off like a week ago. She is wondering why it's taking so long for her wrist to heal. Can anyone please state any exercises she can do to strengthen her wrist so she can get back in the gym. By the way, states are on March 29th...

    WAG Press to handstand problem, feet too wide

    There's a great video explaining that some kids can't press because they're putting their feet too wide. Watched it this week, and can't find it now. Anyone know where it is?

    WAG Coach problem

    My daughter really doesn't like one of her coaches. She is very negative and sarcastic. She doesn't have the option of not having this coach. I feel like it's affecting my daughter. She has lost some of her spark. I want her to leave this gym after this season, but she doesn't want to!! I have...

    Parents First World Problem.... :-)

    What ponytail holder do you or your daughter use? What actual brand? What material is it? I want something with the grip of a vise! I guess since DD is doing more twisting and double flipping and just flipping in general, the forces on her body are getting the better of her hair accessories...

    Parents New here - looking to see if we are alone withour problem

    Thanks in advance for all of the replies that may come. I found this site while sitting at the gym, but didn’t decide to register and post till I was at work tonight.
