Excellent news! I told DD that our trip to see you might not happen b/c of the waitlist. She'll be thrilled (maybe almost as much as you) to know our road trip is back on :-).
Definitely not just gymnastics. I'm in Canada and hockey parents are in a league all their own! I found at our gym the craziness happened more in pre-comp b/c everyone who's invited into the precompetitive program thinks there 4/5 year old has that shot at national stream, so everyone is much...
Thanks All. I'll have to show DD the video to see if that's what she's doing. Would this be considered easier than the back flyaway? I guess, "easy" is relative to the athlete. My DD made is sound like the different dismount was due to either difficulty with the other flyaway or fear. I...
Last night DD and I were talking on the way home from the gym and she mentioned an old teammate wasn't doing a fly away dismount (level 6) on bars but something else that "met" the dismount requirements. Is this possible? I quickly looked it up on-line and the requirements are "salto"...
Thanks for the replies. DD just got back from the gym and it appears they definitely do prefer the lay out fly away but aren’t going to push it this close to comp season. They’ll allow the tuck for now and focus on the lay out when she’s ready and not feeling the pressure of having to get it.
Does the fly away for level 6 have to be a “straight leg” fly away? In level 5 DD did a tucked fly away because she’s been afraid of hitting her toes. She’s now stressing because she’s been told she needs a straight leg fly away in level 6 and has to have it by the first comp in 3 weeks. Not...
For my DD is was just one treatment, and just a couple of needles. They’re very spoiled at their gym because the sports physio comes to the gym during training hours to provide treatments. She’s amazing!
My DD's sports physio did this to aid in the treatment of pulled abdominal muscles and it went well. My DD said it didn't hurt and I can only assume it helped speed up her recovery, in combination with physiotherapy treatment and her exercise plan.
My DD's teammate went last year. I'm told she had a lot of fun but the food was terrible. I know a lot of gyms from the area send their teams there so can be tough to get an individual spot.
Another confused parent on the flyaway. DD just finished Level 5 and her flyaway is a tucked flyaway, but she said for level 6 (possibly 7) she needs the lay out flyaway, which she apparently got last night. The video above shows the tucked flyaway that she's competed all season in 5, does she...
