    Parents Help!/Update - Level 8 or 9.

    Hey! So I've been gone from the forum for quite some time as DD (12) has been insanely busy I forgot to post anything on here. So as some of you may know, DD has not been doing gymnastics for long, she has only been doing it for about 1.5 yrs. Granted, she did do dance for all of her life...

    Parents Should States have a higher qualifying score?

    I agree with everyone else, 30.00 is low. When we did Xcel, Gold's was a 34.00 or above.

    Parents Am I the only one who can't watch?

    When DD learnt her BWO on beam I wasnt to nervous until one day she came home and said "Well I split the beam today" aparently her foot didnt get on all the way or something and she fell and split the beam. It sometimes makes me glad I miss watching practice some dayso_O

    Parents Should I hold her back.

    DD (12) recently has gotten all skill requirements for L8.. Now I always want the best for my DD but I feel like she may be progressing to fast, like just a few months ago she got all skills for L7 and lets not forget that the kid hasnt even done gym itself for 2 years. I did ask the HC about...

    Parents Simone Biles Movie & Thoughts on Gymnasts Speaking Up

    We watched it today, We both liked the Gabby Douglas movie much more-- By far. In this movie she was "The worst one on the team" then "The best gymnast in the world" quite literally about 2 minutes later. The acting was rubbish and I just didn't enjoy it, neither did my DD.

    Parents Your personal preference?

    This is a bit off topic but, here are a few questions that I would like some peoples imput on! As a gym parent- Do you prefer watching practice in the summer (upgrading time) or the winter/spring (meet season) ? Do you prefer watching meets or practices? Whats your favorite event to watch...

    Parents Confidence question

    Parents Not moved up a level

    If your wanting to get her somewhere with her gymnastics career (although it is a bit young to tell) as in, competitive in optionals or anything of the sorts I'd say move gyms. Kinda seems like that gym will just sandbag your daughter.

    Parents To do L7 or not to do L7. (Our Choice)

    Parents Ballet as part of training

    DD Was a dancer for most of her life, (age 3 - 10 ) And although the gym we're at doesnt do any ballet training (atleast the level she's in) but when she did ballet in dance she absolutely HATED it, I personally think her dance career is part of the reason she progressed so fast in gym so I have...
