    WAG Closed shoulders

    My daughter uses something called an open shoulder trainer. I bought it at the link below. I recently donated it to her gym since my DD has no need for it anymore, they use it all the time with the kids. http://www.tumbltrak.com/equipment/1:15:104/open-shoulder-trainer-tumbling-gymnastics-bars.html

    WAG 9.0 Club Ideas

    My DDs old gym used to give out small ribbons on safety pins for every 9 at a meet. They would then pin them to their meet bags. The little ones really loved it, they would work so hard for them and couldn't wait to get back to the gym and get them after a meet.

    Parents Can meets be cancelled/postponed due to heavy snowy weather?

    WAG Beam Shoes, help please!!

    Thank you so much everybody this has been very helpful!! My daughter has tried many methods to combat the sweating from tons of chalk (she even has her own chalk bucket she carries with her at the gym so she doesn't lose time chalking up) to prescription deodorant to iontophoresis. Nothing has...

    WAG Have you ever lost a skill? What to do then???

    I tell my DD that skills aren't lost. She knows how to do them just sometimes she doesn't get them when at practice. I feel that saying a skill was lost is a negative connotation and when kids, especially the younger ones, hear "lost" it's more permanent to them and causes unneeded stress with...

    WAG Starting Dance to help Gymnastics?

    My DD took ballet last year and it helped her with her balance, core muscles. Just beware they teach leaps turns and hand movement differently.

    Off Topic Sweaty hands and feet

    My 10 year old daughter suffers from an extreme case of hyperhidrosis and the only thing that works for her is Iontophoresis. The machine they sell in the US was crap and did not do a thing. We bought one for $1,000 from Germany and it is amazing. She has never experienced burns or blisters or...
