My gymmie is repeating level 4 this season after a rough season. We made a gym switch to a "real" gym prior to last season and the new coaches had lots of things to fix and Bars and beam have taken the longest to fix, but are now looking fantastic. I'm really excited for this season. Some...
I am finally watching Worlds and there is no way Chunsong Sheng is 16. She looks so sickly and unhealthy. Poor kid. Even Nastia seemed to hint that she may not be 16 just prior to her vault.
After reading the Mobility post and watching my dd's meet this weekend, why on earth do coaches have girls who have won state championships repeat a compulsory level 2-3 times? Why would a parent agree to that? I get it if a kid really struggled and can't get the skills, but come on, even...
Be prepared....long story!
My dd is almost 10 and is currently a level 4. She is currently at a gym that focuses on the girls competing and potentially getting scholarships. They also have TOPs with a handful of girls making it to the national testing. We switched to this gym about a year...

My daughter is currently training for the new level 4 and we were never exposed to any of the option levels before. The gym my daughter started out at only went up to old level 4 and we would get to see other compulsary levels at different meets. At our...
My daughter completed level 4 for the 1st time last fall and is currently training for level 5 (the new 4). I had a question on the order in which the girls complete on each event. At the beginning of the season, the coach would have her start first on each event except for vault and then with...
I had posted previously about considering a gym switch, now it looks all but inevitable. They announced a coaching change and the current owner of the gym has continued to make horrible decisions, so, it looks like we are going to try out a couple of gyms. State is coming up and my dd is...
My dd (level 4) has one more meet to go this seaon, two if she qualifies for State. The likelyhood of her qualifiying for state is slim, due in part to her coaches and in part, the last meet is likely to be a tough meet.
My dd started gym when she was 3 and she is pretty good. She is...
My seven year old daughter has been asked the last two years to try out for our gym's TeamGym. She is finally going to try out this year and I was trying to get more information about TeamGym by going to the USA Gymnastics site and it hasn't been updated in over a year. I know there is...
