I recently took over an Xcel Silver group, and am working quickly to get them up to where they need to be. I am having trouble with coming up with possible tumbling passes for a few up them. This group of girls won't have a backhand spring or front handspring ready for season. I was hoping to...

Hello fellow parents! My daughter fractured her pinky (vaulting of all things) and had 2 pins placed last week. Because the fracture was so unstable the pins will be in for 6 weeks! I was looking to see if anyone’s child had the same surgery and what the recovery was like? DD has already...

My DD broke her elbow (well, Radial head) at the end of January and is now cleared to start tumbling again. She has been doing PT and lots of leg work for the past weeks. I know she is "ready" to come back, but has said that she is scared, scared about everything. We think she hurt her elbow...

Is there a judge who can look at a level 8 beam routine for me? Haha, I am a judge and still can’t figure out how a routine got the start value it did!

My DD competes kip cast hs, clear hip, kip cast squat on, jump to high bar kip cast hs, giant, giant, layout flyaway. I know this contains all the required elements. Her clear hip isn't the best, but at an innersquad yesterday she received feedback that because her clear hip came from a...

I just bought my DD a leotard from GK and it arrived with a small hole in the fabric (looks like it might have been snagged with a box cutter). GK has already refunded me, but since they don't have any more of the leo in DDs size - they said I could just keep it. So, the hole is small, and in...

I wanted to get my DD one of the Zmeskal ozone leotards for the holidays. Apparently I need to order by 10/2 for shipping by 12/11! We have never had an Ozone leotard, can anyone provide guidance on fit? I have read they run small and are cut weird, LOL. My DD is a CL in GK because mostly of...

i didn’t thjnk this day would ever come! DD was told that Monday she will move her giants to the pit bar! I know there is still a long road ahead (considering it took her a while to get them on strap) - but I can use some giant fairies sent her way!!!

Anyone have experience with their gymmie and a navicular stress fracture? DD is going for MRI on Monday. Google search is scaring me :(

Just need to vent - so I don't discuss it with DD! DD is training level 7 this summer after OK level 6 season. She did BWO on beam in 6, but must have backhandspring for 7. She has been puttering along with this skill for almost a year now. She can do it low beam and stick 90%, and can do...

Have a friend moving to Charlotte area - looking for gyms that compete USAG. Thanks!!

Ok, now that level 6 season is winding down, DDs group is starting up strap bar giants. DD did them last summer with coach giving her a push in her swings. Now they have to do it alone. DD can not get over the bar for the life of her! Swing, swing, swing...nothing. She tells me that she is...

Just venting here! My DD is 3 meets in to her first level 6 season and has been consistently...last. Well maybe not dead last, but has walked away from the last few meets with lots of tears and no medals. To be honest, it is probably more difficult and traumatic for me than for her - its hard...

so coach gave the OK for the girls to add glitter to meet hair. DD is extremely excited, me not so much. Where does one purchase hairspray glitter? What brands are good? Any tips for not glitterizing my house, car, everything she touches? Thanks!!!

I know there are many topics on this,but I just want to vent! My DD just got over BWO on high beam block/fear and literally 2 weeks later cannot let go for a flyaway! This fear has gotten so bad that she has said she wants to quit gymnastics and is very teary going to practice. I feel so...

Just trying to get an idea of when other gyms decide what level girls will compete at? Dd's gym is deciding at the end of this month for the spring (Jan - May) season. Feels a little early to me, but what do I know, lol? DD is worried that her bar routine is "ugly" (level 4) and kips are...

Totally random but does anyone know how this Leo runs? DD is dying to have one but I hate ordering from gK without first trying on or know how it runs. Team Leo is Gk and she is CM and it is big, but has other Gk tanks that are CM and they are tight!!!

Looking for opinions/thoughts on Level 3 vs. Xcel Silver. DD will likely compete one or the other. We are in a region where Xcel Silver is used by some gyms (including ours) to replace compulsories. But, part of me thinks there may be some benefit for her doing Level 3. (focus on shapes...

hope I am posting in the right place! I have been lurking for months and finally need to come forward for some help! My DD (8) has been "this close" to her kip for what seems like an eternity! I think her glide issues have been resolved and She is still "this close"! Can I message someone...
