    Parents Ankle brace help?

    My daughter has issues with her ankle(s). They are weak, so whenever she does intense tumbling they start bothering her. She has been wearing these: https://www.amazon.com/Elastic-Bandage-Wrap-Compression-Tape/dp/B06XQ8B8Y8/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=ankle+wrap&qid=1570017236&sr=8-6 (ankle wrap). (She...

    Parents Switch from artistic to rhythmic?????

    Mine has recently expressed interest in rhythmic as well. She still competes artistic though (training IGC Silver). She is going to try a regular private, because rec classes seem too basic. What she needs is apparatus work. She is excited about it and starts next week. My question for any that...

    WAG How is vault scored?

    After watching USAG level 3 & 4 meets for 3 years I am still really confused about vault scoring: is it the average of 1st and 2nd vault or higher one? Does it change for higher levels? Is USAIGC same?

    Parents Poor first meet scores

    We had an almost identical first meet experience with my freshly minted 7-year old. She was definitely the youngest in her age division, She is in IGC Copper though not IGC. I think details is what got her (she looked good to me!) She came in last, and she was crushed :( So I just wanted to...

    Parents Siblings not in gym...

    I have 3 kids. 1 USAG gymnast (10yo), 1 IGC gymnast who also dances (7yo), and 1 skater (10yo). The skater requires by far more money and time (me or my DH are at the rink practically every morning at 6am, and he drives her to synchronized skating practice ~1.5 hours away every other week). We...

    Parents Talent v. Expense

    We certainly sacrifice a lot to put our kids in sports. We have a gymnast, a skater (synchronized + individual), and my little one is an IGC Copper 1 gymnast with high aspirations in gymnastics and dance. We have our needs met, but most of disposable income goes into sports. It's tough because...

    WAG New USAIGC rules

    I have 2 DDs. One is doing USAG - Level 4 (she has been competing for the past 2 years). My younger one was on track to compete Level 2 this year, but we moved her to USAIGC. So far it seems to be a fantastic fit for her. My younger DD has never competed. I was curious about Worlds, because...

    WAG How do you tell the difference in gyms when they have 2 branches.

    Our gym has 3 branches. They are all different with different philosophies. Here it is possible to move between them. In fact we just had a coach from one of the other branches come to ours. For me when we were switching, only 1 branch was convenient, and we lucked out, because this branch...

    Parents IGC Copper vs USAG Level 2

    Thanks all for the feedback! We moved her to Copper. It's apparently a natural path in our gym. I was worried that she wouldn't have some of the copper skills but I guess since Level 2 and Copper 1 are similar they just transferred her. She is actually very excited, because she gets fun music...

    WAG Random question...

    At our state meet last year one girl got 10.0 on vault. The crowd cheered so loudly (the scores were displayed in a very prominent place) that another gymnast fell off the beam....

    Parents IGC Copper vs USAG Level 2

    Hi, My YG is currently in pre-team and was invited to Level 2 for next year. She has all the skills, working on polishing. I would like to switch her to IGC, because she is very interested in dance, and I think it fits her personality better. (I also have an older daughter going to level 4, so...

    WAG Bent elbows on BHS

    My daughter is a 2nd year level 3. We moved gyms for her second year of L3. She scores very well and typically comes in 1st 3 for Vault, Beam and Bars. However, she still struggles with BHS. The rest of her floor is very clean, but she bends her elbows on her BHS EVERY TIME! I think the old gym...

    Parents Level 4 practice hours?

    16 - 4x 4 hours. They do get a snack break and can take 1 rotation for homework at each practice, except Friday.

    Parents Gyms near Dobbs Ferry NY

    How far is she willing to commute? The one in Yonkers (close by) is not great. I know a few in NYC.
