    Parents Daughter is forced to stop gymnastics

    Thanks so much for all the encouraging words . She is actually hanging out with her gym friends now ! Her travel coach had her work out with her old team today and invited her back on ! She is pretty sure she is going to do it . :) I'm so proud of her for handling this so well .

    Parents Daughter is forced to stop gymnastics

    They are going to X-ray her wrist every six months and if they fuse properly , then the risk is gone and she could return. She is getting an MRI on both wrist to see the extent of the damage . The one thing she isn't going to miss is the pain . She has been in pain for a long time . Her...

    Parents Daughter is forced to stop gymnastics

    I've posted on here before about my 12 year old daughter and her hand surgeries . She's a level 9 and we were told about a year ago that she had mild gymnast wrist syndrome. After 2 hand surgeries for a different problem , she was finally released to start training and her wrist were hurting bad...

    Parents Getting back on the bars again ...

    Thanks everyone ! Yes , she is in PT to help strengthen her hands and wrists. I think it's just going to take time . She did giants today in bars so that is a start and she did overshoot drills .

    Parents Getting back on the bars again ...

    Thanks so much , all great advice . So true .. I just want her to be happy . She is not a natural born gymnast, she's more of a natural athlete that would excel at any sport . She's a great runner so track would be good . She by no means wants to quit as of now but I always tell her she can come...

    Parents Does the state qualifying score in USAG differ from state to state?

    Parents Does the state qualifying score in USAG differ from state to state?

    My 12 year old L9 didnt qualify this year . She needed a 32AA . She didn't do AA until the last meet of the season due to injury and she didn't make it (31.3) . I saw in another post that to qualify for states , someone needed a 29? So I was just curious if it differed state to state . We live...

    Parents DD only L9 not to make States :(

    I think I'm going to order these! The Palm padding might even cover her scar from where she had hand surgery .

    Parents DD only L9 not to make States :(

    The more I'm thinking about it , going backwards would crush her mentally . So she will just plug away until she's ready to compete again at L9! She is talented and her coach truly believes in her . I totally agree L9 is hard no matter what and it's equally as hard mentally . The skills are...

    Parents DD only L9 not to make States :(

    She wears wrist guards for all events except bars and her coach won't let her yurchenko until her hands are completely healed . Shes been doing tsuks . Her drive and determination is what will help her . The positive is she will be cleared of everything goes smoothly mid May and doesn't compete...

    Parents DD only L9 not to make States :(

    Well I will try to keep this short. It's been a rough road . Let me back up 18 months . My Daughter was a L8 at the time (age 10) and got a stress fracture in her ankle right after competition season . She trained for L9 that summer and made the L9 team . 2 meets in last year ( now age 11) she...

    Parents Pubic bone bruise

    I have a 12 year old L9 who has been struggling on bars after coming back from hand surgery . She has developed this very painful bruise right above her pubic area that swells at times . This bruise is making it hard for her to push into the bar to make handstands leading to pirouettes . Any...

    Parents State Gifts ??

    The gifts are from the gym , the $ comes out of the team account . It's just a little token for their hard work . The coach just assigned a parent for each level to pick something out. I appreciate all the ideas . I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with this wall art I found that is quite unique...
