beautiful! that first vault was amazing!
i showed my XD tiny gymnast who can't do a pirouette on bars w/o hitting her feet on the mat your daughter's pirouette and she's going to give it a try. :-)
That's interesting. Do you think your $595 covers meet/coaches fees? Usually meet fees are about $150/meet for us. Some a little less. I can't imagine a gym taking that cost on per gymnast.
So we just switched to Xcel but not for financial reasons. My kiddo has Osgoods and her knee couldn't take the JO hours for lvl 8. It's been the best decision. It keeps my kiddo in the gym doing what she loves but gives her body a break and she is pain free mostly (a little sore some nights...
We just came from a 1/2 hour (45 min) private with her Xcel coach and it was really my first experience with her as she's new and I LOVE HER. She had some good insight and was like when we strengthen this, we can fix this..... And she's more relaxed and E really gets her sense of humor. She...
This is why I encouraged my gymmie to move to Xcel, even though it was held up as a punishment for JO kids who were struggling. She sprained and ankle and then was diagnosed with Osgoods and it hurt. Her health is #1 and she doesn't even want to go to college to do it. She just enjoys doing...
i think the gym we've picked is one that will allow her to have the schedule she wants and stay in the gym. she already said yes to doing saturdays every other wkend if we switch and at our current gym she's a definite no to saturdays and they don't allow it for xcel anyway. the only downside...
this is the JO program (or Xcel) that we need to find! i'd love to find a gym that would allow my kiddo to do every other saturdays in addition to 3/3hour days during the week. i think we have found something but it's going to have to wait until next season (we will probably make a move in...
look for some place that has acro dance. you might even find a place that does competitions. my oldest competes and she does acro, ballet, elite company, company and tap. she does not compete tap but competes the other 4 classes for a total of 5 dances at competitions. she only dances 2 days...
oh no - i have leos that fit that exact description in my closet as well. o_O . you know which ones she wears the most? the ones she gets from meets and this one particular GK leo that has somehow "grown" with her. it's on at least year 3.....
pss - i have an AXS Simone Biles GX leo that my kid says she will not wear. still has the tags on it. $70 leo. would be willing to do a trade if your daughter liked it. leo for a t-shirt from NZ. i want to come into boston to look at the genealogy place so i would even come into the city...
What size is your daughter? I am outside of Boston on the South Shore. Maybe I have something in my kid's closet that she won't wear that I can pass on. ps - feel free to PM me.
i don't see this as CGM at all. i see a mom who switched gyms to keep her special needs son in gymnastics and her 3yo went from a more fun/laidback class to a more structured/skill based class with less emphasis on fun. i hope the new, more prestigious gym, isn't losing the focus on fun. at...
we hear this at our gym ALL THE FREAKING TIME. to say i'm annoyed with hearing it is an understatement. :rolleyes: . it's an excuse for how some things are done and it's thrown in the team parent's faces a lot. i know i'm not alone with being annoyed at it being put out there so much...
yes. and we will be discussing that with the HC next week.
FTR - she had a ton of mental blocks last year (yet did pretty well despite her fears) and i think they were thinking this was her way of dealing with mental blocks again this year. but now she feels like they didn't believe her and...
Thanks for all the advice! It is indeed Osgoods. My kiddo actually was skipping and happy to have a reason for the pain. :rolleyes: She said she felt a bit vindicated (ok big word is mine) b/c none of her coaches felt the pain was real. They all felt it was an excuse to avoid certain skills...
so the PT at her gym said her upper leg was very tight and we bought a roller for her to use. we are also taking a huge step back from JO and moving to Xcel where the hours are less than half of what she did in JO.
hers gets progressively worse through practice. so she may do some front...
