    Hi I used to post a lot but my daughter had scoliosis too. At 13 1/2 After her first season of level 9 we found out she had a 20 degree curve. At 14 1/2 the curve was in the 40’s and by the time of her surgery at 14 years 7 months it was 48/36 and progressing rapidly. At 20 degrees we were told...

    She is very lucky! She will be out for about 3 months and then she can return to conditioning etc and hopefully she will be back better than ever! Most cases are mild but unfortunately hers progressed so fast!

    WAG Scoliosis?

    I don't think she does walkovers at all anymore. I know layouts on beam were real tough for her so she does BHS-back tuck , but lately she went from rarely falling to always falling... she is getting the Boston brace which she will wear from 16 hours a day. We are also having a surgical consult...

    WAG High School Gymnastics

    HS gymnatics is big in our state too. It is a fall sport. To qualify for the state meet as an individual you need to have level 10 skills, in fact the top girls in the state also were level 10 national qualifiers. Coaches say they don't prefer it, but in our state that what is said by every...

    Parents Why Kids Quit Sports

    As a coach in a different sport, I think all parents should read changing the game. They address many different topics. As a parent it is our job to sit back and enjoy the ride. There are so many times I want to ask my kids about practice etc, or discuss something with their coach and then I...
