I have 6 year old twins, not identical but actually they have occasionally been separated from time to time for messing around in class. I guess it's not the advice you want to hear lol. My twins like to mess around but I have made it very clear to them that when they do they are taking time...
I had my 6 year old twins join Bronze XCEL this year for the first time. They are fraternal twins and have different body types and attitudes. One is petite, flexible, focused, introverted and likes to look "pretty". The other is my wild child, outgoing, talkative, distractible, built more...
I don't know much about guidelines and rules, I try not to think about it to much. I just assumed it would be ran the same as a real competition, not choosing certain kids "best" videos to upload.
Ok, let me start off by saying I am a new gymnastics mom. My kids started xcel team this year. Obviously some kids are more talented and coaches love that- I get it- really I do. My kids are not going to be olympic gymnasts and they won't get any college scholarships, but they work hard and they...
Well apparently there was a typo on the team lists and she was actually included in the team. It was a VERY stressful weekend waiting to talk to someone on Monday! We are going to let them do it this year, mainly because schools are closed and I think it will be good for them to be out of the...
Ok everyone. I have an update. Apparently only one twin made the team after working with the group for a couple of weeks. My other girl tries so hard and has a lot of fun doing gymnastics but is just not as coordinated and daring. The one who made it likes gymnastics but is kind of lazyish. I...
I think the contract is so you can't back out/quit before the season is over? I thought people who payed for dance teams/competition or travel soccer were crazy too but know plenty who do it. I'm telling my husband it's the same thing. But they just turned 6 years old so I think that's why I'm...
I agree, my husband doesn't feel like we should invest the time/money if they aren't like exceptionally great. I told him it isn't fair
if we would be willing to do it just because they were flipping and swinging around like crazy. They actually only go once/week for 1 hour so I'd say they are...
This is the only gym that does any team in my area. As far as I know the Bronze girls had about 6 meets scheduled before COVID. I'm also confused because they had the girls in an advanced 4-5 year old class. When they turned 6 they were placed in Novice/beginners even though they are doing...
So far they are pretty low key and not competitive with each other or anyone else- which is probably not a good thing. They have fun, I've seen some kids who look like they LOVE gymnastics and honestly I'm not sure my kids REALLY like it as much as other kids. Which is also why I am hesitant...
I have 6 year old twins.They are both pretty average gymnasts. I'm debating if I should let them join a team. If they do it would be XCEL bronze. I don't know much about gymnastics and I'm actually clueless when it comes to any sport. At this point they say they want to do it and have chosen...
