    Parents Cut/create floor music

    Hello! My daughter is creating a new routine for Oxford this year and wants to use a particular song- Everlong by The Foo Fighters- but it doesn’t seem to be on any of the gym music sites. Does anyone cut music or know how and can give some guidance? Thank you!

    WAG Looking for a gym for an adult

    I will try and get her to use FB. She’s young enough that it’s never been something she’s been into. Thanks!

    WAG Looking for a gym for an adult

    Hello! I’m looking for a gym in the greater NOLA area that offers adult classes or open gyms- or at least allows adults in their open gyms. My daughter is going to be home from May through October and wants to be able to get workouts in on equipment. Thanks!

    Parents Been a very long time

    Wow, congrats! I can’t imagine either of my girls married so I know that must be an adjustment as a parent.

    I’m sorry he’s dealing with an injury. They seem inescapable. My younger daughter is dealing with some hip issues at the moment. I’m glad he’s enjoying college though!

    I remember you! Second year 10 as a freshman is so impressive! I hope that she accomplishes everything she sets out to!

    Parents Been a very long time

    It’s been a very, very long time since I posted here! My daughter is a senior in college now- about to graduate in May. She is an naigc gymnast. She just finished at nationals, so that is the period at the end of her time on her college’s club team. She has had a blast doing gymnastics at...

    Parents Proud of my daughter

    She has, yes! They do compete and they have coaches and their own gyms, etc. They just don’t offer scholarships for it at all, or vaunt it over academics. She actually competes on three teams over there- artistic gymnastics, trampoline, and crew (rowing).

    Parents Proud of my daughter

    Neither of us ever heard of this before, but it’s apparently at least a semi big deal, so I’m proud of her! She’s still loving gymnastics and can’t wait to get back to her college next year to restart their program- it fell apart when she left.

    WAG 1st NAIGC meet tomorrow!

    How exciting! My daughter got exactly one naigc meet before covid. Ha. She loved it though! She had more meets in the UK than she will in her American college all years combined, but she’s gonna go to as many as she can next year.

    Parents What is Your Child's Favorite Event?

    Before 2016 she couldn’t stay on to save her life. The very season before this streak she fell off at every single meet. Sometimes twice. Ha!

    Parents What is Your Child's Favorite Event?

    My daughter loves bars the best, but has come to love beam due to her own consistency. She realized recently that she hadn’t fallen off beam in a competition since 2016, and it makes it easy to love competing the event.

    Too late to edit but if anyone was ever wondering what the meets over there are like, the championship has a whole meet site, including what the levels compete, etc. https://www.bucs.org.uk/events-page/gymnastics-championships-2021-22.html

    I changed mine to the University of Oxford gym logo- at least until DD is back in the USA. She competed a trampoline meet yesterday and has an artistic meet on Saturday (the BUCS championship).

    Parents Navigating sibling dynamic

    Gymnastics was a perfect outlet for my perfectionists- they both learned to fail, try harder, fail again, and still find a way to squeeze all the joy out of it. My girls eventually ended up competing against each other, and I worried that there would be negative effects on their relationship...

    NCAA colleges with T&T gymnastics

    The T&T gymnasts we know who compete in college were recruited for Acro and Tumbling teams.

    Parents 5 Things Every Gym Parent Should Know?

    1. It’s not about you. Let your kid drive the amount of time/money/effort that goes into the sport. Even if they’re the best gymnast since Simone, they have to want to be there. When they say they’re done (or show it), listen to them. 2. They will get hurt at some point. Be sure to understand...

    Parents Back in the gym again

    The second term is starting and my D is scheduled for two meets- one smaller and one bigger. She is so happy to get back into the gym again, though she’s going to hate life at first- she’ll have crew practice twice a day gymnastics practice later that same day during the first week back. Side...

    Parents Puma Jr retires…

    Wow, that last injury sounds really scary, but I’m glad she’s ok! Seems as if diving is a great next phase for her even though it stinks there is no closer club team. Best of luck to her in her new endeavor!

    Parents Back in the gym again

    DD had her first meet today- she was allowed to compete afterall- and she won! She also won a crew meet earlier this week, so it’s been a good week for her!
