So, Beans coach came back from congress with new drills for bwo but has decided to let her compete bridge kickover to bhs. I am assuming the hope is to get her over whatever issue she is having. Thoughts? In my mind, I see the deductions adding up but most likely less than a fall [emoji1] anyone...
So my bean continues to struggle with the BWO on beam. She is able to do the BHS on the high fatter beam and standing tuck but her coach wants a consistent BWO. Dd has so much power anf combined with her ADHD just cant seem to consistently slow herself down and usually launches herself to side...
So to my amazement only 1/2 our level 4 team will continue to optionals. 1 is going to xcel gold, 1 quit, 1 repeating 4. So we are now down to 3 level 6 girls. It makes me so sad but the one repeating does not want to put in the work and neither did the one that quit. My bean has always had to...
So metro will only let dd do privates. Happy to pay but she won't be happy working alone with a stranger. Does anyone know of any other gyms that take visiting gymnast? My parents live in Orlando so it isn't just a reg vaca....
We are going to Orlando in 2 weeks and called to schedule workouts when on vacation. I told her my DD just finished level 4, scored out of 5 and is training 6/7. They said they would put her with 7/8 group. They are a well known high achieving gym and I am worried the girls will be more...
So, I need help from experienced parents. My DD continues to have a fairly significant Beam BWO block. I stopped at the end of practice and watched her spend more time sitting and staring into the abyss that doing her drills. I was irate!
First, I am not upset that she isn't getting the...
So we are finally going to get to pick something other than the horrid comp music. Another girl on the team dances to Adam's family theme and my DD loves it. Any suggestions to alternative uptempo songs that maybe have a slow area to show her graceful side as well?
I want to take pics of our level 3 and 4 girls. There are 8-12 of them. Does anyone have any fun ideas? Tired of the same ol same ol.... Do any of your gyms let the girls wear their hair down?
My DD who just turned 9 staring level 4 and just asked to join tops training class. She really started gymnastics comp late but her skills took off the last 18 months. Ie went from barely doing a pullover to a kip. Barely a cartwheel to back tucks triple bhs and ariels and layouts. Her beam...
We were just informed that My DD is the only Level 3 that is ready to be moved up to 4. The coaches all voted that she is ready but that means she may be competing alone next fall. It is still subject to change but I am not sure what to do as that will not be fun for her. Do I make her repeat 3...
Reading though how varied the hours are I would love if gyms competed against those with similar training hours. Or if there was standardized hours throughout JO and xcel. Our silver girls train 4 hours/week. Another parent posted their gym does 14hours. When looking for a gym I was told to look...
I know this question has been asked but humor me. How often do gyms require gymnast to repeat a level. Some of our gyms in our state seem to make kids repeat level 3 or 4 no matter how high the kids score. I really just don't understand the point except the podium. My friends DD lowest score...
My DD just finished lvl 3 comp season. In the gym they are already uptraining flyaways (at least she is) and I know they have already been training the cast handstands. I am just surprised about the flyaways. It seems like a difficult skill. When will i have to worry about Giants? Those scare me...
