All I can say it has been a roller coaster ride lately. DD was hapily training level 5 and on her way to what looked to be a promising year. She was looking polished and ready for the season. All of a sudden the plans have changed. Coaches want to bump DD to level 6. After DH and I moved past...

I have couple of different questions for the group. 1. When does your season start and end? We begin Nov and end with States in April. 2. How many meets do you have on your schedule? This year we have 7-8 counting states. I wish we had more is this an average number? 3. How many count...

Well we survived our first state meet. I swear I am glad that is only once a year. I think our entire family except for DD was stressed out. So here goes. DD was in the first session of the two day meet. She was so excited to compete. She started on the "BEAM" which did not help the nerves but...

We have states coming up and I think I am more nervous than DD. I have not let DD know how stressed I have been but I think I have not had a good nights sleep for over a week. Does anyone else stress about states for their DD? I have even asked DD if she is stressed or worried and she is cool...

Where has the season gone???? It just seems like yesterday we were having our first meet ever and now we are heading into the end. It is almost bitter sweet. DD had a great meet this week. Vault is still being the problem. I have no clue where she has put her vault but she needs to find it...

To start can we just have a normal meet????? I would LOVE to have a drama free meet does that ever hadppen?? This was our first out of state meet and a total new experience for us. We were in a venue that was outside of a gym that was using "rented" gym equipment. There were issues with mats...

DD is killing us we have been out of the gym for almost a week. We have equipment at the house and DH has put a ban on it. Afraid if DD makes a mistake we can't get to the hospital. This is killing her. She is eating non stop and no work out. She has started doing crunches once an hour because...

DD had her 4th meet and I am still scratching my head on this one. She had a great meet but for some reason scores are all messed up. The scores they flashed at the meet are not the scores that are posted on the web. Mind you they were all messed up for aa during awards. It was a horrible...

I think DD is having an allergic reaction to the chalk in the gym. She has been using it for years but for some reason her legs this past month have horrible spots on her legs approx where the bar hits. At first I thought she was having really bad ezima but our regular treatments are not working...

We have just completed our 3rd meet of the season. DD is doing very well for her first year comepting. We just need to find a way to keep her on the beam. She has one fall each meet on her beam routine. It is killing the entire team. I just hope she is saving that one beam routine that she...

I have to say I am on pins and needles and a nervous wreck over this. Sunday is DD's first meet and this week has been HORRIBLE. We had a judges visit and let's just say it wasn't our best showing. She fell on beam and had too much power on bars, she totally rocked the floor and vault was ok. OF...

I was just wondering how many privates your gymmie average a season. We are heading into our compeitive season and right now we have 6 privates scheduled between now and Christmas. I am sure we will have more after that but to get DD ready for her first couple of meets. I was just wondering what...

Last week dd got bit by the kip fairy and did her kip. She was so excited and proud of herself. She almost has her long hang kip too. That has been her goal and was just so excited to have gotten it. She also did her back walkover on the mid beam with no spot and started to work her layout. She...

I haven't been around too much kids have been keeping me busy. I am so stressed about this up coming season. All the girls are starting next month training their new levels. My little one is the only one not moving from Level 4 due to her age. Right now she is relishing the training. She almost...

After a long year of waiting DD is finally old enough to compete. Of course she has to wait till the fall but she is just so excited to not be the 5 year old. She has been doing AWESOME lately. She already has her cartwheel on the high beam, almost has her backwalk over (two fingure spot) on...

DD has been practicing with the lev 7 & 8 for a show this month. Well they were revising the routine the other night. They have been very careful about what they have put in the routine because of DD. It isn't too easy but they have been very aware of her to make sure it looks good all around...

DD FINALLY got her front hip circle. We have been off since Tuesday so a couple of us decided to go to open gym Sat & Sunday. Well DD did her front hip circle. Her little face just lit up. Be best friend was on the bars facing her and about fell off when she saw DD do it. She came running off...

DD got her first rip yesterday. She was proud and scared at the same time. It is about the size of a dime on her left hand. I can see the beginning of about two more on her right hand. What can I do to help her. She did about an 1.5 hours of bars on Sat and about 30 more minutes on Sunday. No...

Took DD to the gym today for open gym. No bribes on the table and she got her mill circle. I am so excited for her. Tomorrow we have a private so I am praying to the bar fairy that we can get the front hip now. She was so determined to get that mill circle today. It was so cute her Gym best...

I took DD to the gym today for open gym. We had practice cancelled. Well I gave 3 objectives for the practice. She needed to get her dismount consistent on beam, her handstand and hold it, and her shoot through. She hasn't been going it consistent. I told her I would take her leo shopping...
