    Parents Vent

    Okay, so I'm 13 years old. This is my 6th year doing competive gymnastics (2 years in compulsary, 2 years in excel, this is my second year of optional). So my coach dicided to make me repeat 6 last minute. And I'm lightly annoyed at this. So idk what to do.

    Off Topic vent :(

    So, I'm a 12 year old, female. I’m starting gymnastic practices soon because why not? it’s something fun to do and I'm interested in it. (+I’m also flexible!). The problem is, I have bad anxiety sometimes, often mood swings as well. And I’ve done my research, seen it all. i’ve heard stuff like...

    Parents Newbie with vent questions.

    This might be a little long, but I have questions and some venting to do. I am a total newbie to gymnastics, so please let me know if I am being unrealistic with my expectations. I really don’t want to sound like a crazy mom. I also want to mention that my girls are twins with one on the...

    Parents Need to vent a little

    I need to vent a little. I am a little leery of putting this on here because I am pretty sure other gym parents are on here and I have NO idea if any of our coaches are on here, but it has gotten to the point where my child is noticing and I need some advice. Our gym has always been a place...

    Parents Venting

    Sorry have to vent and my wife won’t let me put it in the other groups, but I’m sick and tired of parents and other team coaches either pulling me and my wife to the side, or texting us about my daughter needing to skip up a level. One parent on Sat told me at the awards that its not fair...

    Parents Vent? Advice? Level "3/4"

    Ok. So our gym just made the roster known for the levels for the year. There were 16 girls in Level 3 last year with DD. All but 6 moved to Level 4. DD and the 5 others are in this "3/4" Level where they will be competing at 3 for a second time, but working on Level 4 skills. I know the worst...

    WAG Vent, Advice, Frequent Loss of Skills

    Hello CB friends. It’s been some time since I last posted but today I’m feeling a need to vent and maybe get some advice. DD is a 10 yo Level 6 that this season has scored in the 37/38 range. She’s very close to moving to 7 but coach wants her to contoue to polish before moving up. She’s at a...

    MAG Venting - it's always something....Composition error

    My DS is planning on competing 2 events this year in a level he hasn't done before, after almost 2 years out of competition and 2 surgeries. Its also a level his coach hasn't coached before. He is working around some physical limitations including a wrist that doesn't quite turn out the way...

    Parents Moms Who Critique Other Kids: A Short Vent

    Any other moms encounter these moms? First of all I'll start by saying I watch my kid about 1-2 hours out of about 20 hours of practice a week. So, my experience is limited in my encounters. However... I hear moms talk about children...that are not theirs. And also, I'll have to clarify they...

    Parents Just need to vent...

    So my DDs video was submitted to Valeri to hopefully get an invite to developmental camp that is coming up in June, her video was submitted almost 8 weeks ago. First they said we would find out in a couple of weeks, then that turned into 2-3 more weeks and yesterday we found out it could be...

    Parents Mama bear vent

    Just venting because I have no one to talk to as my husband just says "why do you keep going back for more" and the other gym moms I knew well have all gone away as their dds have moved on to other sports and activities. I'll try to keep it short- my dd is not a great gymnast and often does...

    WAG Beam backhandspring vent

    Just need to vent - so I don't discuss it with DD! DD is training level 7 this summer after OK level 6 season. She did BWO on beam in 6, but must have backhandspring for 7. She has been puttering along with this skill for almost a year now. She can do it low beam and stick 90%, and can do...

    Parents Just venting

    Just need to vent because I'm just so upset for my dd (9 y.o. Lv 6). As some of you know, she just came back from her second injury this year. Last week she was finally getting back. She got her series on beam yesterday (and it looked great!)and was so excited to practice it today. Well, it...

    Parents Need to vent

    I'm feeling really discouraged. My DD in JO5 has been in gymnastics pretty much since she could walk, started pre-competitive at age 4 and competitive at age 5. What's so disheartening is that it seems that no matter how hard she works she's always at the bottom of her group at competitions. She...

    Parents Vent, Daughter's floor routine is driving me Crazy!

    My daughter had a great floor routine choreographed last year, at great expense when she was in level 7, our floor coach at the time had made the decision that all optional routines would only have 2 tumbling passes, so that's how it was choreographed. My daughter had to have surgery before the...

    Parents VENT: Gymnastics the Germ Playground

    I know I can't be the only germaphobe that feels this way! DD has asthma and she gets sick so easily this time of year. Many of the germs she gets seem to come from gymnastics. Last year she got pneumonia from a simple cold that was going around at the gym and was very sick. A couple of...

    Parents Vent: when the gym atmosphere is toxic

    Dd's gym has two optional tracks -- a morning program for homeschool girls and an afternoon programs for kids still in regular school. Dd is an afternoon track optional. Until this past year, both programs shared coaches, facilities, etc. Last year, the head optional coach said she needed more...

    Parents Facebook Vent

    Why do folks think I or my daughter want to see gymnastic's wrecks ala Americas Funniest Home Videos. Really I don't want to see bar peels, crashes that look like they ended up with neck injuries or concussions. Kids not spotted appropriately. Beam disasters. NO NO NO NO NO NO These are not...
