My daughter uses something called an open shoulder trainer. I bought it at the link below. I recently donated it to her gym since my DD has no need for it anymore, they use it all the time with the kids. http://www.tumbltrak.com/equipment/1:15:104/open-shoulder-trainer-tumbling-gymnastics-bars.html

My DDs old gym used to give out small ribbons on safety pins for every 9 at a meet. They would then pin them to their meet bags. The little ones really loved it, they would work so hard for them and couldn't wait to get back to the gym and get them after a meet.

My DD was competing at that meet we just heard a short while ago. Hopefully they'll reschedule

My DD has palmar hyperhidrosis which is extreme sweating of the hands and feet. She was diagnosed with this at age 6, most days her hands and feet sweat so much they literally drip water as if she just got out of the shower. Thhe drysol did not work for her so we ordered her a machine from...

You are both correct. It varies depending on what state/region you're in. In NC it is 32AA

Thank you so much everybody this has been very helpful!! My daughter has tried many methods to combat the sweating from tons of chalk (she even has her own chalk bucket she carries with her at the gym so she doesn't lose time chalking up) to prescription deodorant to iontophoresis. Nothing has...

So what are the rules regarding beam shoes. My DD is an 11 yo training 5/6/7 (we'll see where she falls come competition season). She has a severe case of hyperhidrosis (sweating condition) and over the last year and a half has fractured her growth plate in her shoulder and was out for several...

Please add me - thank you!

Me too please!!

Congrats!!!

I tell my DD that skills aren't lost. She knows how to do them just sometimes she doesn't get them when at practice. I feel that saying a skill was lost is a negative connotation and when kids, especially the younger ones, hear "lost" it's more permanent to them and causes unneeded stress with...

My DD took ballet last year and it helped her with her balance, core muscles. Just beware they teach leaps turns and hand movement differently. I found my daughter was the most flexible and more advanced them the kids in the intermediate ballet class and she never took a class prior. Be sure if...

Congratulations!! What a huge accomplishment. My friends daughter made the diamond team last year as a 7 YO and got an awesome jacket that said TOPS diamonds as well as at shirt a certificate and other such items. Definitely celebrate her hard work!!

We travel 40-45 minutes each way 4-5 days a week depending on the time of year

My 10 year old daughter suffers from an extreme case of hyperhidrosis and the only thing that works for her is Iontophoresis. The machine they sell in the US was crap and did not do a thing. We bought one for $1,000 from Germany and it is amazing. She has never experienced burns or blisters or...

You can try apple bottom brand they may fit better and also try the petite section or buy them short instead of average length. I'm full grown at 5'0 and average pants never fit. My DD stopped wearing jeans a while back and now wears legging and jeggins. Good luck this is one of the most...

When my daughter struggles with certain things when she goes to bed at night, in a relaxed environment, I have her close her eyes and have her imagine herself doing her routine. Sometimes she falls or messes up and sometimes not. When she messes up I asked her what happened and how she can fix...

My daughter is prominent lefty but has some skills she does righty. Her gym warns her and is now having her do all skills lefty (her preferred leg) because as she gets higher in the levels 8/9 ish when she has to start connecting harder skills she will have issues if she switches sides.

From what I understood from testing last year they don't have a set # they take to nationals each hear (top 80) etc it's based on overall scores from all girls then they release what score it takes to make the national testing. Once they do that your coach will you. There are tons of old threads...

I would think she'd be able to continue as normal with possibly wearing a sneaker for a week until it heals or doesn't hurt. We've had girls at our gym doing that breaking toes etc and it's not as bad as you may think. Feet especially bottoms are pretty tough skinned
