    Parents Training hours for levels 6/7

    We are a “laid back” gym and we have girls who do that, plus the coach will take off once or twice a month. It’s unfortunate for my daughter because she wants to be more serious as an 8. Not to mention, 6-8 only practices 13 hours/week. DD does workouts on her own (conditioning), but wants more...

    Parents WWYD-Coach Hard To Get Along With

    My daughter's coach is very hard to get along with. I'm wondering if it's possible for my daughter to be successful in gymnastics, with this gym if I am very hands-off/uninvolved. The other parents are very involved, sit and chat at practices, suck up to the coach, are very fake, "love"...

    Parents Why don’t parents protest?

    I voiced my concern this year and was told it was mandatory if my dd wanted to compete. $300 for a leotard that she may wear 10 times is ridiculous to me. Other parents told me they felt the same. When I mentioned my concern to the gym owner, he contacted parents and they said they had no...

    Parents What To Do With Time Off For Injury?

    My daughter is very motivated to keep up with her conditioning. She does a lot at home on her own, too.

    Parents What To Do With Time Off For Injury?

    Than Thanks for your response and well wishes! Our coaches don't really differentiate like I wish they would so that is why I am looking for ideas as far as what she can do. She is 16 and level 9 so we've been doing this for a while :)

    Parents What To Do With Time Off For Injury?

    Thank you. Our coaches do not differentiate like I wish they would. So it is basically up to her and I to figure out what she can/will do.

    Parents What To Do With Time Off For Injury?

    My daughter sprained or strained her big toe and her foot is crazy swollen and sore. This is not her first injury... Anyway, what does your gymnast do when they are injured? I realize it depends on the injury, but thought I would ask. In my opinion, she should be visualizing and conditioning...

    Parents "Labral Tear" Update... Ovarian Cyst!

    Hello friends! Several weeks ago I made a post about my daughter having a possible labral tear. Early November she had an MRI that was negative. About that time, she started physical therapy and no improvement. Two visits to a great orthopedic doctor (who suspected labral tear) and finally...

    WAG It's vestibular, right?

    ^This is exactly what worked for my daughter. It was a rough time (over a year) after her "blocks" started. She was a level 9 and her coaches did not believe in blocks. Yes, they said that. Her move came after an injury where she was specifically told by doctors and her physical therapist to...

    Parents Possible Hip Labral Tear? Career Ender?

    I didn't necessarily mean common, but not unheard of. Since you see lots of sports injuries, would you know any pediatric sports Orthopedic surgeons in/around Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri?
