After a long break from gymnastics, my daughter is competing again this year. It's what she wanted... Or so she thought. After getting a lot of push back about going to practice, we settled on this being her last season. I won't lie, I was sad but we've lived without gymnastics before and I know...

My daughter has decided this will be her last season. I'm kinda sad but I know this is the right decision for her. We have 3 more meets left (last one in late June since we do USAG and AAU). When would you tell the coaches? I don't want to tell too early because I worry they'd coach her...

DD8 has had knee pain for a while. It finally got bad enough to go see a doctor. After XRAYS and an MRI, all they determined was discoid meniscus, which shouldn't cause any pain on it's own. They found no tears or inflammation... nothing. She's been on rest since March. Has anyone ever had...

So DD8 was in level 1 last year (at age 7). She was one of the oldest in her group. She was often the example "do it the way she does" for the younger girls. She did wonderfully at states (1st all around). That's what she remembers. Our gym does AAU at first. AAU does not give placements...

DD has been put into the level 3 training group (yay) from level 1 last year. Level 3's at our gym practice 11.5 hours a week. Apparently they are full on the days level 3s practice and are looking to hire a new coach so they can move the new level 3's up. In the meantime, they are practicing...

I noticed on our gyms website that they are planning on starting a cheer team... not sure how I feel. Does your gym have a cheer team?

I'm feeling very frustrated with my DD's gym right now. After considering switching, we decided to give it one more season (and take it from there). I had a long talk with the HC and I thought we had a plan in place for this coming season (we compete in the Spring). My DD was level 1 this...

Hello. My 7yr old DD just finished level 1 at a (mostly) AAU gym. She actually did quite well and the gym wants her in level 3 next season (assuming summer training goes as expected). Our gym is small and not one of the big names in the area. They do very well overall in the AAU world...

Hello. I'm the mom of a 7 year old gymnast who competed level 1 this past year. She absolutely loves it. We are new to this journey but enjoying ourselves so far.
