Thank you. Your points are great and I think you're right about home gym equipment and the 2 hour commute.- honoragymnast

LOL, clearly I think instagram is a better resource?! Clearly you are way off the original topic and way off base.- honoragymnast

Wasn't under the impression this was a gossip board whatever that is...but thank you for your other input. You obviously know what you're talking about. I have some concerns with the gym...I trust them to keep the kids as safe as possible while doing gymnastics, but I do not trust them to treat...- honoragymnast

Parents 2 hour drive to gym
18 months for a mill circle seems like a long time, but I've never known anyone to take that long. I think my kid could do it within a month or so and I think most of the level 3 girls at her gym can do it too. I used that as an example because one of the coaches specifically used that example...- honoragymnast

Yes, most people were quite right in their responses while a few were quite snarky and rude (Gymdog, for example.) Uncalled for. I do know about college level gymnastics because my sister was a college gymnast. Maybe I don't know first hand since I wasn't the gymnast, but I did live with her...- honoragymnast

Well most kids quit when in starts to get harder I also think it's probably about the parent wanting fame in most cases of those public instagram accounts....- honoragymnast

I can't even imagine the snarky comments and outrage that must be directed at parents of kids like Emma Rester (the kid on Ellen). All I asked about was a 2 hour drive and people were really opposed to the idea. What must they think of those instagram/youtube gymnasts like Isabelle Roberts?- honoragymnast

Oh please, have you ever been a gym parent or part of a gym family? Do you have any idea how competitive and ridiculous gym parents get? I'm certainly not the only parent who thinks they have a talented gymnast and has asked the question "what if?" Also, perhaps you've never met little girls...- honoragymnast

Oh no, I do know just what it takes to get to college gymnastics level. And I know my kid won't make it from where she is now. As many people have pointed out, there is more to life than gymnastics, so it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.- honoragymnast

Hmm....I have actually made up my mind not to switch gyms. I do know what I've observed at the gym though and I would switch because of it if there was a closer gym than an hour away because I don't think it's ok to intentionally ignore certain kids and to be quite so obvious as far as spending...- honoragymnast

Parents 2 hour drive to gym
A 6 year old doesn't necessarily know the word "elite" but does know about the Olympics. I asked the question about a 2 hour drive to figure out if there are actually parents who do that or would do that for a kid who has gymnastics on her mind almost constantly and always wants more. My...- honoragymnast

Thanks for the advice. She loves gymnastics, and we have never had an "elite training" discussion in front of her for the very reasons you mentioned in your comment. However, from listening to her talk about what she wants from gymnastics, I know that that would be her goal even though she...- honoragymnast

Thank you. Yes, it does help to know that TOPS is not a requirement in order to be elite someday.- honoragymnast

Thank you, that's the kind of information I was really looking for. I don't want to short change my other kids...we may move eventually anyway and be closer to a gym better suited to what we're looking for.- honoragymnast

That is a really good idea. The next closest gym is about an hour away and I will look into it.- honoragymnast
