Thanks she’s kind of a quirky gymnast, tends to over think skills, trying different things might get her to feel when the shift should happen. Once things click she usually progresses pretty quickly until another skill comes along that stumps her lol. Thanks!
What circling elements fulfill the level 6 bar requirements. I have a strong bar worker that for some reason cannot get the shift for a clear hip. She is working giants but will likely not be ready to compete it this season. Is there another option for level 6?
My gymnast is struggling with her switch leap on floor. I’m thinking about changing something to help her score higher. I obviously have the code of points in the gym, but it’s driving me nuts thinking about it right now, and I don’t feel like driving there to check, what are some unique or...
Congrats! About 13 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child one of my fellow coaches told me I would never be able to kip again after I had the baby. Well, about 3 months after my daughter was born I got my kip back, ha! Proved her wrong! It’s been about 5 years now since I’ve done one...
I am planning to attend National Congress this year to learn everything I can about judging. Hopefully I will be ready to judge USAG sanctioned compulsory meets by next year!
Does anyone have any advice?
I am nervous and excited at the same time! I have been coaching on and off for the last...
I am getting ready to order some books on usagym because I am going to study to become a judge. Is this the best place to buy them? I was about to checkout and the shipping cost is $27!!

L2 (2nd year has all kinds of skills but had no technique) wouldn't have believed it last year but now she makes a beautiful gymnast (after a gym change)
50"
51 lbs
Tends to score better on vault and bars because she still has trouble controlling her long limbs
This exact thing happened to me before...owner moved up a child that was not ready because mom wigged out. The girl ended up quitting before the first meet, I think she realized she couldn't handle it. This was from old 4 to old 5 the gymnast wouldn't even jump to high bar(fear issue) and...
my dd is in the gym 2 days a week and 1 day a week doing another sport, when she is home she drives me crazy! The kid has way to much energy to be sitting around at home, I can't wait til her hours increase... lol that being said, I think parents sometimes get wrapped up in their own busy...
Well it's been about 5 months now since we left and dd couldn't be happier. I, of course, miss coaching like crazy, but am thinking of other ways to get involved like possibly coaching a high school or middle school team. We haven't had many run ins with old team, but meet season is rapidly...
When I see a child in dd's gym with a leo from another gym on I chuckle a bit. I think it is showing that they obviously went to that other gym and for some reason ended up at this one. I view it as bad advertisement for the leo gym. In fact I just argued with dd about her comp. leo from old...
