    WAG Toes splitting open?

    When my DD did gym in the past she seemed to constantly have a small split at the base of her 4th toe where it met her foot. When she was out of the sport for three years, she never had it. She’s been back in the gym for five weeks and she already has the split again. Does anyone else’s gymnast...

    Parents DD returns to gym after 3 years off

    Hi everyone. Not sure if anyone will remember me but I used to be active on CB several years ago. In January 2017, my 12 year old decided to leave gymnastics. She was an L8 with lots of blocks. Lost her full, lost her double back on bars, couldn't connect beam series. She had a coach who...

    WAG Wasn't prepared for Severs frequency

    Not looking for medical advice! DD had her first experience with training pain in January of this year. At the time, she attended a gym with a trainer on staff and he would tape her ankle and off she would go. He didn't diagnose her, just said she has tight ankles (we knew this from her...

    WAG First steps for looking at colleges?

    At what point should my DD be making an effort to begin looking at colleges if her goal is a college scholarship? There is a specific D1 school she wants to attend and while I think it is a long shot (plus what @bookworm says about D1 schools scares the bejeesus out of me!), I am curious when...

    WAG Feedback on a project

    Background....I am a teacher and with my kids next year, I am going to implement Genius Hour in my classroom. This is based on Google's 20% policy if you are familiar with this. Over the summer, I want to complete a full project as a model of the depth of effort and final product to help my...

    WAG Cardio training question

    My L8 daughter recently switched to a new gym and while she is great physical condition, she is really struggling with their cardiovascular workout. Her old gym used running as part of their warm up but sustained cardiovascular activity wasn't a big part of their workout. At the new gym, it...

    WAG How are region 5 "state teams" determined?

    As I was looking at information for regionals this year, I got lost in the site and came across the fact that each state in the region sets a state team. When I was looking at the girls who comprised our state team, I noticed that some very talented/higher scoring girls were not part of the...

    WAG Straddle versus straight cast handstand

    My daughter recently switched gyms and her new coaches told me one of the first things they are going to do is to have her begin doing a straddle kip cast handstand. Can anyone share their experiences about how that process was for your daughters? Did they find it hard to transition after...

    Parents kicking kids out of practice

    Do the coaches at your child's gym kick kids out of practice for different reasons? The reasons girls are being kicked out vary from disrespect, misunderstanding instructions, and fear of a skill. The girls are instructed to call home and have someone pick them up, not a "go and think about...

    WAG Anyone want to put their judge's cap on?

    I'd love to have someone (or multiple someones) take a look at my DD's three L8 routines and give me an idea of a possible score. We didn't have a judge come to our mock meet so I have no idea what kind of numbers she might be looking at. I have YouTube links to share via PM if anyone would be...

    Mobile site

    is anyone having problems accessing CB via iOS? Mine flashes to a thread listing and then shuts down and goes back to my apple home screen. I tried deleting and downloading the app again and now it just gives me a gray screen before flashing back to my apple home screen. Is this totally on...

    Parents Having a moment.....

    DD is being left out of training a couple moves that her group and some of the L7s working. Her explanation makes total sense and her coach has even told me the same thing. And I trust HC and believe she is being honest with me. But my CGM is trying to rear her head when I see her teammates...

    Parents Does your gymmie stick to the same brand of grips?

    I just bought my DD her third pair of grips in the past four years. When she went into grips, she was 8YO and still pretty small/light so her coach had me order her the Gibson Just Right grips because they apparently have a thinner/skinnier palm guard than other brands. So both times I've been...

    WAG How different are front and back twisting?

    My DD is going on nine months of a serious mental block with back twisting. She used to have a beautiful 3/2 and then one day, just no longer could do it. Over the past nine months, she has repeatedly gotten it back for a day or two, just to lose it again for months. I think things are...

    WAG Chicago Style registration

    Is there something wrong with the site? Just trying to figure out if my problems with registration are on my end or their end. Coaches, have you been able to register recently without problem?

    Parents I shouldn't bear the brunt of her ire....

    My DD has been working on her round off back tuck dismount and one evening at pick up, I caught the tail end of beam rotation. I noticed that she was now working it as a pike but it was not a great pike. Still, mommy is a cheerleader so I told her in the car that I thought her back pike was...
