You may have seen my previous posts about my daughter. If not, she retired from gymnastics in 8th grade due to chronic backpain and decided to join cross country. She's a sophomore right now and hasn't looked back from the world of distance running. She got a stress fracture just before the...

(I've written about this before but decided that a little recap would make the rest of the post make more sense.) It has been a little over a year since my daughter last stepped foot in the gym. She didn't leave because she was unhappy or injured, it was simply because she wanted to try new...

My daughter no longer does gymnastics, but she recently got a new swimsuit (Speedo) that has little silicone strips on the rear that are supposed to prevent it from riding up, and works quite well. I don't imagine it be very hard to do the same with leos. Just a thought.

Melody Leotards does customs. They are made to order so she can do a different cut at no charge.

My 14 year old, incoming 9th grader, daughter recently quit gymnastics at the end of May. She was training for her level 7 season and it was a very difficult decision. It wasn't that she didn't love it anymore, more of her just wanting to try new things, and getting rid of lagging injuries. Her...

as in Kim Zmeskal and Ozone?

Does anyone have experience with their bra tops and shorts? My daughter wants a set, but I don't want to invest if they aren't worth the money. Are they comfortable and do the tops provide enough support and coverage?

My daughter is wanting a more flexible, laid back, atmosphere and is no longer happy with the long hours and strict coaching. We are thinking about switching to YMCA this summer. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any guidance, perhaps? (She's Level 7/8 and considering XCEL Platinum/...

Have any of you guys dealt with this company before?I've heard really nice things about this particular company and would like to buy some new leos. I went to their website and saw that they're slightly pricier than Plum. Have you guys had good experiences with this brand and what are your...

Thank you for your responses. I know that in the end, it is up to her. She's just been torn on what she should do and I thought I'd ask for advice. I say "We" because gymnastics has definitely changed our (as in our family's) lifestyle and retiring would cause an impact on our routine. Just...

My Level 6, 8th grade daughter has recently sparked an interest in joining marching band next year. If she does decide to join, it would require her to quit gymnastics. While XCEL is a possibility, she wouldn't be able to fully commit to both gym and band. She could either stay in gymnastics...

I don't mean to bring up old threads, but I wanted to Update. UPDATE She ended up at Norfolk will be on their level 4 elite performance squad!

Plum and Garland Activewear! SBD leotards are super cute too and pop up on Zulilly occasionally.

I know that for Giants you need a big tap at the right time. I would guess that perfect form would make a punch mor powerful.

My 13 year old wears size 6 in shorts! Her muscles are huge, but her waist is so tiny. Her first comp leo looks like it could fit a baby doll.

We recently moved to Ohio, and I'm curious. Any other Ohio people on chalkbucket?

My brother used to! But this was back in the late 80s-Early 90s. He had a similar issue.

Thank You
