My daughter is thinking about going back to gymnastics (Xcel) after leaving her gym at the end of the summer. She is currently doing HS track and they practice 5 days a week after school. The head track coach has a strict policy about attending all practices. So, she would have to do two...

Not really looking for advice. Just wanted to vent. My daughter who was moved up to Xcel Diamond is probably done with gym after this season. She had a great season previously but two of her main coaches ended up leaving and she mentioned a few times during the summer she wants to quit. She did...

Can a front layout be in a floor routine at Platinum level?

My daughter (competing platinum) does have a kip but no clear hip so she does this. https://www.google.com/amp/s/balancebeamsituation.com/jump-full-turn-glide-kip/ Not as pretty as in this video.. but I think it meet the requirement. That is what my daughter told me.. not a coach

Do some gymnasts find clear hips to be a scary skill? My daughter has struggled with them for years. Before taking a 13 month break she had decent upper body strength and could do a nice back extension roll. I think some of the issue now is strength but wonder if it could be something else...

Mine was out for 13 months and has most of her skills back. She did only a little conditioning at the beginning of the break. Bonus - she overcame a block with vaulting and says it her favorite event now.

There is a girl at my daughter’s gym who switched to Diamond after level 9. She is still competing into her senior year. She also coaches the Silver girls and competed on her High School diving team last season..

Waiting for coach to confirm with gym that she can start back Monday. It has been almost a year. Hope it works out.
