    International dev Trial

    It depends on the program as different gyms usually have different criteria, however there's also similarities. At her age they would generally be looking at natural strength, flexibility, desire/ability to listen and the shapes they make. Welcome to the crazy gymnastics journey.

    Parents skipping dinner b/c of late practice

    My DD just turned 6 and has gym and dance until 7pm 3x a week since January and she usually has a cold dinner such as chicken or chicken schnitzel with salad. Most of them time she's looking for more food when we get home too. She also has a snack break during gym (piece of fruit) and eats...

    Parents Elite track, what does it mean?

    In Australia we have a completely different program for those girls training on the "elite track" and they compete separately as well as having different criteria. To explain to non gymnastics people it's easier to say she's doing elite gymnastics, but in the gym the girls are in the IL program...

    Parents Pre-squad Question UK.

    Hi.. my DD was in a similar situation at the start of this year and went from 1 hour to 2x2.. she loved it and wanted more.

    AUS post opens a US office

    I'm not sure as I haven't used any of the services, I do however work in domestic transport and logistics. If you look at this from a business point of view it wouldn't make sense for them to go below the current market rates as they have an established and recognised brand name which would mean...

    AUS post opens a US office

    I think the purpose of this is it's set up as an American addresss and therefore you can purchase products that only ship to American addresses.

    International Levels Questions

    Thanks Aussie_coach, this is what I thought and as I said she really enjoys new skills so I am looking forward to jumping on the roller coaster and seeing where we end up. She got her tick tock last night so came out of training absolutely beaming with a big smile. Now she wants to do Giants...

    International Levels Questions

    Hello All I've done a far bit of reading on here so hopefully I won't ask anything that's already been discussed. A bit of background. DD started gymnastics this year, did a term of kindergym and a term of development squad (pre team). I wasn't very impressed with the coaching at that...
