    Parents Is there any reason to not allow gymnasts to use chalk on beam?

    Thanks dunno. I never heard of using deodorant before, but that makes perfect sense. She has uber sweaty feet....stinky too. I know it is a mental thing as well. I did tell her that she just needs to be confident, but being allowed to wallow in it and then not allowed at all has been hard...

    Parents Is there any reason to not allow gymnasts to use chalk on beam?

    Now THIS is what I'M talking about!!!!

    Thanks for sharing these videos! Love to watch these girls! CaitsMom - I think the term "chucking" a skill is not in reference to girls just learning a new skill. It is used when form is not made a priority and skills are not made to be cleaned up. When gymmies learn new skills they always...

    I am so saddened by this horrible news! CGM was such a sweet and supportive person. I always looked forward to her wonderful advice and sweet comments! May God watch over and bless her sweet girls! I will keep them all in my thoughts and prayers.
