    Changing Gyms for DD...?

    It really isn't ever as bad as you think once you make the move. Deciding is often the hardest part. In 7 years of gymnastics we have seen lots of gymnasts and families come and go (including us!) from our various clubs and there is rarely any problems when everyone crosses patches at...

    Parents Multiple Disciplines

    Dd didn't do both at the same time but swapped from artistic to acro - I was amazed by how much she had to be 'de-artistic-ed' when she moved across. Hands , presenting, tumbling, finishes never mind the having to stop throwing yourself and rely on the bases. Even timewise aside (is doing 15...

    Parents Worst mum in the world

    Only you can decide what's right for your own children. However if it was me I would let my DD go- certainly given the time of year it is (months from grades). I just feel that they miss out on so much (Friday night sleepovers, play dates, after school clubs, birthday parties) that if...

    WAG Giants and breathing.

    Dd tells me she didn't used to breathe during her entire bar routine which included 2 upstart handstands, a clear hip and 3 giants. Crazy kid.

    Parents Reassure me about gym switching!

    I guess it really depends on your reasons for a move. A few years ago I looked at a gym move for my DD - I knew it was the right time to move for a number of reasons. She was adamant she didn't want to move - I forced her to go to a trial at a very good well respected gym a bit further away...

    Help!! Moving from us system to uk

    I am no expert but I believe she is too old to follow the elite route 'in age' as you need to pass compulsory 3 before moving on to 2 etc and compulsory 3 in age is taken in the year in which they turn 10 (so they may be 9). Doesn't mean it can't be done but you would have to find a gym that...
