    NBC Online Coverage Issues?

    How come you are able to watch replays of every other sport on the NBC website EXCEPT gymnastics? I was not up at 1:30am or 6:40am (PST) when the first two groups of the women's qualifications were going on and was hoping to be able to watch when I woke up, but unlike every other sport, there...

    Level 4 Invite & Focus

    My daughter got her official invite to Level 4 tonight at gymnastics. Up until a week ago I was about 99% sure she wasn't going to be moved up. Her coach told me last week that she put her on the list but that she was going to have to prove to her that she could focus and pay attention enough...

    So Disappointed with Anna's Gym.

    I'll warn you in advance that this will be long... I found out about a month or so ago that Anna's entire pre-team group (about 15 girls) were going to be moved up to Level 4. I was completely shocked because I never in a million years thought she was ready. For one thing, she's 5. She's got...

    Spinoff from Cost of L4 Thread

    I know that gym tuition varies from gym to gym but was surprised to see such a huge difference. For 7 hours a week at level 4, our gym costs $340/month. I saw that someone posted that they pay around $150 (can't remember the exact amount) for level 4 at their gym and they get more hours...

    The first rip..

    My daughter just got her first little rip right in the middle of her palm. She says it hurts when she swings on the bar and she has her last little meet this Sunday. Is there anything I can do for it to help it heal before the meet? It's still several days away so I'm hoping that's plenty of...

    Parents Little Brag..

    Anna had her 4th little in-house meet that her gym does for the pre-team kids and for the first time EVER she actually did a little handstand on the high beam! I was completely and utterly shocked. She's never, ever done one before on the high beam, not even in practice. She can do them pretty...

    What leotard brand is this?

    My daughter received this leotard yesterday at her gym show (it's her junior team leo) but I don't recognize the brand. There's no tag on the inside, didn't come with tags attached, so I don't know who makes it. Does anyone recognize this logo? It fits her really well so I might get her...

    Parents Anna's First "Meet"

    I'm so proud of my little one. Her gym had their holiday show yesterday for the rec and jr. team kids. I knew that they were doing a dance and were going to show off their routines on each event but I didn't know that they were going to do it in a full competition format for the jr. team kids...

    Is this normal?

    My daughter steps forward with her left foot when doing handstands and cartwheels. I've just recently noticed that when she does bridge kickovers she kicks with her right foot first. I went back and looked at old videos and she's apparently always done this and I've never noticed. Back in the...

    Pre-Team!

    I'm so excited for my daughter. The gym she's going to is starting up a new pre-team group in April and she gets to be a part of it! It's going to be a Level 1 group of girls and they're all right around 4 1/2 years old. I think there will only be 4-5 girls in the group, at least initially...

    "Hollow" Question

    I'm still very new to this whole gymnastics business and I'm not understanding a lot of the terms I see on here. I did gymnastics for a couple of years when I was young but don't remember too much. So...what does being "hollow" mean? Can someone explain to me please? Thanks!! :)

    Parents Pre-Team

    I just wanted to share this with others who would understand because my family (with the exception of my husband) and friends really don't "get" it. My 3 year old daughter has been doing gymnastics since April. There are 3 preschool level classes that they're in until they're 5 (I think) and...

    Preschoolers and Backbends/Bridges

    I know I've read a lot of stuff about how preschoolers (under 5) should not be put in backbends/bridges because it can result in long term spinal damage. I have never put my 3 1/2 year old in one and at her gymnastics class all the instructor does is have them lay on their back on the floor...

    Movin' on up..

    My 3 1/2 year old was promoted to the "Preschool 2" class at her gym and the first class was today. She did so good! They did backwards rolls down the cheese mat and she was doing them by herself by the end of class. She got to walk on the "real" beam (the medium height one). She was a...

    Hello :)

    Hi! I'm Elizabeth and a mom to a 3 1/2 year old who is in preschool gymnastics. Gymnastics seems to have changed a bit since I was young (or maybe I just don't remember it very well) so I was reading up a bit online and found this site. It's been interesting getting reacquainted with a sport...
