Loved this feature so thought I’d share!! https://www.insidegymnastics.com/news-features/joscelyn-roberson-a-star-on-the-rise/

Hey everyone! Been a while since I’ve been here! Missed all you guys! Just wanted to let everyone know, Joscelyn is now officially a JUNIOR ELITE gymnast! It’s been such a long road! Thank you guys for being there through it all!!!

With TOPS season right upon us, if anyone is interested in joining the TOPS/HOPES social group, please send me a PM. This group has strict requirements for joining. You should have a DD training or testing for TOPS/HOPES. You should be prepared to disclose information. You do not necessarily...

I'm looking for a pity party and hopefully I'm not the only one who feels this way! My gymmie is my youngest, the baby, & I secretly am hanging on a little tight, but that's another thread! Here's my problem: SHE WILL NOT WEAR ANY CUTE CLOTHES! And I'm tired of buying 'gymnast' labeled and...

If there's anyone out there that goes to Parkette's, I'd like to ask you a couple questions. Would prefer a parent or coach, but a gymnast may be able to help as well!! Please send me a PM!

My DD is a little ball of muscle! She's pretty flexible everywhere, except the hips and shoulders!!!! Several girls on our team are struggling with some sort of plateauing flexibility. Our coach would like to bring in a specialist (massage, chiro, physical therapist, anyone really!) to look...

Our gym didn't want us to share routines on social media during the season, but since DD is finished, we got the ok to share. So here we go!

With the 2015 TOPS season approaching, I created a social group for parents of gymnasts that will test for TOPS. If you would like to join, let me know and I will add you!!

If there is anyone out there that has any experience with extremely exceptional children (not necessarily gymnasts) and siblings, please shoot me a pm. (PS gym0m is with a zero)!

These are DD brand new grips. Bulldog, kipper, size 0. They are still way too big, right? She says they feel better than the others that she has tried. Any suggestions on some that fit even smaller??

Just wanted to say good luck to all the gymmies at National TOPS testing this weekend!!!! My daughter (& teammates) have pretty much been either a basket case or zombies this week! I'm sure all these girls have worked really hard and I just want to remind everyone that as their parents, it is...

What is the value of a switch split leap on beam?

DD selected floor music from a list her coaches recommended. So excited for her as we are starting her choreography over spring break, which gives her about 9 months to perfect it before she competes it! My question is do you share selections with friends from other gyms that are usually in...

Does anyone the qualifying score to go to Level 7 State meet in Texas?

In the USAG level 5 beam routine, the gymnast must hit a handstand and immediately take two releve' steps backwards in order to complete the skill, right? Is there an alternative to this? If so, what? If not, what, if any, would be the deduction for failing to take these two steps?

Coaches-just out of curiosity, since the level changes and level 6 is no longer required, what do you use to determine whether a gymnast will move up to level 6 or level 7? If skills, please be specific.....

Ok, so here's the deal. We live in a semi-small town that only has one competitive gymnastics team. I have no complaints about my current gym situation. Coaches are wonderful, knowledgeable, eager to learn more, & dedicated to the success of their gymnasts. However, they do not have an...

I have been following the "FHS-vault not clicking" and commenting as my daughter has struggled with this vault all season. Instead of hijacking the OP thread, I wanted to make some additional comments about DD's last meet! Recap-DD is 7 years old, just wrapped up her Level 4 season, now...
