    Parents 13y Adhd gymnast / coach

    Do they know she has ADHD? Could you schedule a meeting with them so that you can tell them your concerns and present them with strategies that would set her up for success? It seems if it's a voluntary position they should/could accommodate her 'skill level' whether it's attributed to ADHD or...

    OP - are you in the US?

    Parents Low to high score progression

    Does she have the score to move-up to L5? If so time to change gyms. A gymnast can be successful in the future w/o hitting 36 in L4. Repeating L4 is a waste of your money and your kids time. The 36 requirement is a way to weed out kids at your gym.

    NCAA Xcel to college bound (Division 3)

    This is the first year of Utica's gymnastics program. They will not have L8s and lower performing L9s as they continue to build out their program.

    WAG Most Overplayed Floor Music (2024)

    My mind is blown! What a great (and relatively easy) way to get outside of the box so to speak.

    Gymnasts xcel bronze or silver

    Are you able to start training consistently at one gym? I think you will make progress pretty quickly if you can commit to one place for a long time.

    You would be a Bronze at my DD's gym!

    Parents Extended Family Attending Meets

    I dunno. I see both sides and wonder if there's room for a compromise. It's sweet that her family set aside time and wants to come. Are they local or travelling from another place? I often tell my kids that sometimes we do things for family not because we want to but because we know it's...

    Radial head buckle fracture

    I have nothing to add knowledge wise, but I'm sorry to hear your DD is injured. :(

    Parents Late start to Level 10

    Hi! I'm glad you found us! Your DD has lots of time to enjoy the sport even if she has started 'late'. Predicting a timeline for advancement is a little tricky. To maximize her chances of going as far as she can you will want to make sure she in at a gym that more or less tries to advance...

    WAG 8 Weeks to Cast Handstand?

    Repeating Gold a 3rd year would irritate me to the point of looking for another gym. It's fine if the gym wants to change their requirements and get rid of Platinum but at least consider grandfathering in the few who may not make it. What sort of training have they been doing towards CHS until now?

    Gymnasts Do I have a chance?

    You still have lots of time to do the sport you love! Starting gymnastics at 13 and competing Silver two years later is pretty amazing. While it won't be possible for you to get to elite-level gymnastics, you still have plenty of time to be part of the sport. A lot of colleges have club teams...

    WAG 8 Weeks to Cast Handstand?

    I'm so sorry. I can speak from experience that when move up rules change abruptly with no good explanation that it's usually a way to limit who moves up. This sucks because the next 8 weeks will be spent worrying about getting this one skill and I'm sure you know there is no timetable for skill...

    Parents Questioning Coach - Preteam - How to address

    I agree with what the others have said re: the difference between having a skill and it being competition ready. I wouldn't put much stock into another coach letting her do it unspotted. It's kina like having a substitute teacher where different classroom behaviors are allowed/permissible...

    Parents Floor errors in routine

    An AA score based on one meet where the score on one event is low due to coach error would not at all be factored into move up. For my DD's gym - AA score is of course part of the move up equation as there is a minimal score imposed by USAG but the decision is based on the individual athlete...

    Parents Floor errors in routine

    Wait, why would the gym hold them back for a choreo error? Do you know for a fact that they girls scored lower because of incorrect choreo?

    Parents Pre-team Transition

    Transitions of any sort (beginning of school, end of school, increased hours in gym, new gym schedule during summer, etc) were always rough for my kiddo. We'd give her time to adjust on her terms and support her by making sure she ate healthy food and had lots of rest and downtime as needed...

    Parents Floor errors in routine

    If it was caught at the first meet then corrected, I would let it go. At my DD's gym this would have been picked up in the judged in-house meet prior to the start of the season.

    Parents What to add in a parent survey?

    Oohh! I love when I get to make surveys for work! Have you been tasked with the survey by the HC? Or is this something you are looking to do in 'good-faith' with hopes that parent feedback will be taken to heart? If you don't have their blessing, be very careful...it might backfire. In my...

    Parents Stage Fright Floor Routine

    Sounds like a mental block and often the more attention you give it, the longer it takes to resolve. Pulling back and having her not compete temporarily is not a bad strategy as long as it's being presented as a strategy and not as a punishment. I'm sure she is very frustrated with herself and...
