Can anyone tell me the gyms in fla with the most qualifiers and a good amount of level ten girls? Also, which is the best in or close to tampa?

Hello all! I have a daughter who just turned seven and is competing her first meet as a level 4 in a week. I was thinking this might be a harder year than last year since there are less seven year olds at this level and shes one of the youngest of them all. Last year, there were three other six...

Ours too. I think it’s insane they practice the same skills they already have all year even if they are scoring high nines.

Update: She got it! Thanks for the advice everyone. She also just got her fly away last week as well. Summer is amazing. I’m curious to know when your gyms do move-up evaluations. She got it just in time as evaluations were completed last week. They only have three weeks to get their new skills...

He probably won’t. What are they? She has her soul circle. Is that a choice?

Thank you!

I was just saying that the other day. I feel like the elements that have to do with timing give her the most trouble.

Any tips on Clear hip? My daughter needs to get hers did level 5. Is that one of the difficult skills? She has her fly away but seems to be having a harder time with her clear hip.

Wow! Thanks everyone! Great advice in here. Her coach wants double buckle reisport. It sounds like they might be difficult with the buckle but he says that’s what he wants! I’m ordering now! Any advice on breaking them in?

My daughters coach recommended that she get grips to use with the uneven bars. She is trying to get her level 5 skills. She has until the end of July. She still needs her fly away which they haven’t practiced yet and her drop kip (I think it’s called). She also needs a higher cast after her kip...

We decided to stay at our old gym. I wish there were other options but there aren’t. Thank you for all the advice. We’ll make the best of it!!!

So the parents were aware of this and allowed it to happen?!?!

The article said they weren’t.

Maybe in other countries this is the norm. In the U.K. coaches have been known to weigh their athletes in and make them run in heavy coats if they weigh too much. These are kids!!!

I think you have all helped me. It’s hard to think when upset. Lol! I maybe need a break away from that place. It’s just all so negative right now.
