    WAG Is this against the rules?

    Definitely think it depends on the state and how competitive gymnastics is in that state. In my state you are allowed to train at a club while competing with highschool. As long as you’re not competing for 2 teams at the same time, which is kind of difficult because highschool and club seasons...

    Parents Sylvia P leo fit?

    I’m an AS/AM in GK, AM in plum, AS in Rebecca’s Moms, I ordered an AS in Sylvia P and it’s way too big, I would say it’s like 1.5 sizes too big.

    WAG Fear and Memory Issues

    I’m not much help for the fear issues, but for the memory issues I would suggest walk throughs at home. That’s what helped me with learning new routines. Don’t necessarily do the actual skills, just mark them and just know that they’re there. Also to make sure she is doing them right look up...

    WAG Good luck to all competing at the classic!

    First of all, tell Lily GOOD LUCK. Also do you know if the live streams will be archived, so I can watch them after the competition because I’m pretty busy this weekend and don’t know if I will be able to watch live.

    WAG Cast to Handstand Issues

    Also think about piking in your cast handstand. Think shoulders over, pike/butt up, then bring your legs together. You know the stretch where you are in a straddle and try to get you stomach to the ground. Try to do that after you lean and push on the bar. Using shapes is a lot easier than...

    MAG Anxiety about Level placement

    Tell him he has a WHOLE summer to learn new skills, and even a few months after summer to learn and perfect new level skills. Take it one day at a time and honestly trust the process. He might not get the skills right away but that’s okay, work progressions and got back to basics if need be. I...

    Parents My DD wants to quit gym

    I forgot to add if she does decide to quit, have a face to face meeting with her coaches to explain so you can end on good terms.

    Parents My DD wants to quit gym

    Let her have a complete break for 2 weeks, don’t take her to TOPs. For me that would ruin the purpose of a break. Also just be vauge about the break to her coaches, respect her wishes. This sport doesn’t last forever, many kids move on and are successful in other things and are much happier and...

    WAG Debating a gym change...

    1st of all do not be alarmed about the not spotting thing, one of my gyms that was very successful didn’t spot at all, the only thing they would spot is bails and paks. They focused a lot on basics and conditioning and shaping so skills would come easy and not require spotting . They also didn’t...

    WAG Changing gyms for regionals?

    I’m not sure if it’s possible due to the fact that the coaches sign the gymnasts up for regionals at state and therefore under their current gyms name (if they qualify). Or at least that’s how it worked in my state. I’m not sure how hard it is to change the gym they are registered under, but I’m...

    WAG Question

    I’ve heard of gyms entering their gymnasts in a HOPES meet just to get some experience. With little chances of qualifying, and they know that. Then next season when they have the intention of qualifying, they have some experience.

    WAG Sharing Leotards

    I would definitely be fine if someone passed down their comp leo to me. They are so expensive (mine was $350) that I feel like it is a waste of money if it is only worn for 1 or 2 seasons (which is approximately 8 to 16 times.) But only if it is in good condition and has no major flaws. Of...

    New member: Options if kids don’t want to compete?

    Call around to other gyms. I feel like Xcel would be a perfect fit for your daughter.
