My daughter, 9 is training level 4.....She has suffered with lots of fears. Half the time she says she isn't sure if she wants to go to practice. We have talked about fears and her coach understands. But the bottom line, is she has to want it. And when we discuss quitting, she isn't sure...

OMG! We are dealing with this exact issue!

She has spoken to some of her teammates about how they focus. Her coach is also having to "talk" with her about her focusing. She also complains to me that there are too many things. The other girls don't seem to have the trouble she does. They have better form and are able to think about...

my daughter is 8, training level 4. She struggles on focusing on form, the details, squeezing her bottom at the same time pointing her toes. I told her you just tighten everything but she feels so overwhelmed. Or with vault running fast, large hurdle arms to ears, etc, she is overwhelmed with...

Do you recall what he did exactly? Thank you,,

why are qualifications for a State Meet so low? In our level 3, it's only an AA of 32. Why so low?

Is it customary for the coaches to bail the second competition is over? 4 of our girls placed and our team won 2nd place all around and the coaches left and weren't there to support our girls and congratulate them!!! I'm shocked, pissed and dismayed!!!!

To qualify for state in Ca. I understand the girls need an AA of 32. Is this at ANY meet prior to state or the meet right before state? Thanks

Thank you!!!

For her, it will be crucial to get a good cast so she has the time and space to get her leg through.

I've heard coaches speak of "presention" to get a better score. My confusion is they speak of things such as chin up, shoulders down, having a confident attitude. But I see nowhere, where this is part of deductions. Soooo, how does this work? Are judges just more forgiving of other things if a...

Thank you all for the encouraging words. :)

I mean on her team, her other teammates rarely get called out. I'm afraid her coach is even getting to the point where she doesn't bother correcting her! That's when it gets dangerous in my opinion!! Because she isn't getting corrected like she should.

Really? Because we have brand new 6 year olds that are total naturals! They were born with perfect form.

My just turned 7 year old is training level 3. Her form is probably the worst on the team. She "thinks" she's pointing or has tight legs. But honestly does do it when she is really thinking about it!! But after the reminder from coach, falls back into her habits.... Have any of you Moms of...

Ah, thank you all so much. I am VERY new to team obviously. So, if I am understanding what "scratch" a couple competitions means, could mean she would be asked to "sit them out" as to not bring the team scores down? Is that right? I agree, about the coach. I really love her actually too. I'm...

And by the way, she turned 7 last week.

My daughter is training level 3. They are about to bump hours. Coach came up to me last night and said my daughter needs to focus a bit more and take the coaches direction a little more or she is afraid she may fall behind. I was a bit surprised since all the girls have good nights and bad...
