Yes, his coach had to get up and unhook him. It was at two different gyms.

Yep, his pants got stuck.

I have a level 7 gymnast. Has anyone else had trouble with their son getting stuck on the rings upside down at meets? My son got stuck last year twice (two different meets) in level 6 and he said there were little wires sticking out or something. He’s terrified of going to this gym again. Any...

Thanks. Yes, he'll be competing at level 4.

Thanks for all great snack suggestions. I really appreciate them.

Yes, we are the ones that are still driving really far to the gym. I've put in some job applications this spring and am trying to find a job in the town our gym is in.

I have some questions for other parents of gymnasts who have been there and done that.... We live in a very rural area, and I take my 6 year old son to gymnastics twice a week. This is the closest gym to us with a boys gymnastics program. It's 100 miles each way but the commute takes about 1...
