    Parents If you knew then what you know now....

    No, no no. I am trying to get 14 year old DD to quit. Having YDD quit, and get her love of herself back makes me regret putting either one in. Maybe a different gym would help, and I have already told DD that she no longer has a choice, she is moving after states/regionals this year, whether she...

    Parents Need Xcel Diamond info!

    Since you are from my state, I can answer. :) For states she just needs compete in one qualifying meet from the master meet schedule, whatever that is. But knowing your gym, she is fine for that. For regionals she needs to qualify in the top % of %, regardless of age group at states. Last year...

    Parents Life After Gymnastics

    Mine just quit two days ago, after a gym switch this summer. She is actually being evaluated for diving tonight, so i am keeping my fingers crossed that she likes it.

    WAG making a gym change for one kid but leaving the other

    We have finally made the decision to make a gym change for YDD. Neither she nor I can take the negativity any longer. ODD is going to stay (provided gym doesn't kick her out - they know YDD is not coming back, they just don't know she is going elsewhere. Well, actually ODDs two coaches know b/c...

    Parents Should this JO Level 2 girl be done with gymnastics?

    I believe staying xcel. She plays hockey, and wants to try diving, and since I am unsure about where the heck I am sending her it probably makes the most sense to just stick with what she knows.

    Parents Should this JO Level 2 girl be done with gymnastics?

    We are in the process of switching gyms for younger DD. They want her to repeat silver, again, because they don't feel her effort is what it could be, despite the fact that she has her flyaway, full on floor, back handspring on high beam, has been kipping for 3 years, ...... My current plan is...

    WAG floor music help

    DD is looking for new floor music. I think we have listened to almost everything out there and she likes nothing. She is 13, xcel platinum. Not powerful, more elegant.

    WAG What happens if...

    Not states, but this just happened to is at a regular meet. The gym lost power, and cancelled the Friday night sessions and then too kit session by session on Saturday. YDD was cancelled. She was given the option of competing in a later session, or waiting a week and competing when the gym...

    Parents Frustration with Xcel

    My girls do xcel, and our gym def has harder requirements to move up than most of the gyms I read of on here. YDD is repeating silver, b/c they MUST do two years at each level, regardless of how they scored. This is our gym rule. Smetimes the kids do 3 years. We actually have one doing a 4th...

    WAG Another Rough Day...

    I am so sorry. My daughter has cystic fibrosis, and has had some pretty crappy lung function over the past year or so. This time last year she was functioning at 69%, and her gymnastics took a hit. Her pulm fully supports DD doing gym as much as she is able to, as it helps her lung function...

    WAG what does final roster mean?
