    Tops

    My dd is 6 and our gym doesn't have a tops program. But my dd's coach is preparing her for the tops testing next year. The nearest testing would be about an hour away.

    Parents Poll: What level is your dd (or child)

    Parents I know gymnasts are small..but

    My 6 year old..She'll be in a carseat forever. lol At 6 years and 3 months: your child is 34 pounds, and that is at less than the 3rd percentile for weight. your child is 42 inches, and that is at less than the 3rd percentile for height. And her 4 year old sister...they look like twins...

    Anybody going to this camp?

    Grips- why and when?

    My dd doesnt use them and the gym doesn't encourage them until 5-6. One of the coaches used to coach elite gymnasts and he says its good to allow the girls to toughen up their hands without grips.

    gymnastics or family life fun

    I definitely can relate to how you feel. My oldest dd just turned 6 but she has been going twice a week since she was 4. I also have a year old in gymnastics but thankfully they go at the same time to the gym. On top of that I have a 14 month old ds who I have to take with me to the gym. My 6...

    Hi. My name is Jessica, mother of 3 children. My daughers have just turned 6 & 4 years old. My 6 year old just made 3 years with her gym, and my 4 year old just made 1 year. My 6 year old just moved in in hours, to almost 8 hours a week. We'll see how that goes. We live in a small town with one...
