    Parents Usaigc copper 2

    Hi! My daughter is 9 and we just switched from all star cheer to gymnastics. She is doing Usaigc copper 2 and so far it’s going well. My question is since she is so new team she doesn’t have the form down for turns, arm placement etc. Her tumbling skills are great since she has the experience...

    Yes it is a lower hours program. I think it’s pretty similar to xcel from my understanding. I think we we are going to finish the year out in level 2 and if she wants to continue next year competitively she can go the Usaigc route instead. Xcel sounds like a great program as well and it’s nice...

    My daughter is 6 and is on the level 2 team. She only started gymnastics a year ago. She practices 4 hours a week. She seems to really like it and never once complains about going. She does get tired after practicing understandable after 2 hours. She has all the level 2 skills (except the mill...

    Yikes! I appreciate your honesty! I definitely don’t want to be a CGM and was only trying to help telling her to point toes, etc but I get what you are saying.

    Thank you for this. I don’t know what it is about gymnastics (I guess it’s because it’s an unknown world to me) but I need to just let go as you said. She woke up today all excited about gymnastics later. Ever since we switched to this new gym she seems to love it. She also really likes two...

    Your daughter sounds like she was similar to mine as mine is also very cautious and afraid to try new skills. Once she gets it she gets super excited. She doesn’t like to fail or get things wrong. Also I always kind of thought she would follow dance since I put her in that first and I was a...

    Thank you for your comment! I guess when you put it that way she does have talent and I need took at all of the positives. She did get most it not all of the skills on her own which is impressive. I also thought that she had originally liked gymnastics because she was with her best friend but...

    Thank you for your reply. I was a dancer not a gymnast and I really only know about gymnastics from looking it up and watching YouTube videos, etc. The pointed toes and straight legs I just kind of know since I was a dancer so it kind of makes me cringe to see it lol. What you say make total...

    Thanks for your reply. She definitely has the body type by looking at her. That’s actually one of the things they said at her private lessons during the summer. And she does love it. I feel like I started her too late at 5 but I know that sounds silly. I also find myself comparing her to...

    Hi I am a new gym parent. My daughter is 6 and started gymnastics when she was 5. She has been dancing since she was 3 as well. I put her in gymnastics basically for another activity and she wound up liking it. Last year she was in a rec class and wound up meeting someone from her kindergarten...
