    Nastia Leotards......

    They fit just like regular GK Leo's. My daughter has 1 Nastia and 1 SeanJ. I have come to the conclusion that Alpha leos run much bigger.

    Repeat level 4 or prep opt

    What is a prep program? How do you know when it's a good idea to start thinking about it?

    make or buy a beam???

    We just got one for our daughter from www.thebeamstore.com . The price was right and they are reputible so you don't have to worry about the saftey of the beam itself. We are off for almost 2 weeks because of school, they give the kids the first week of school off. So it will be...

    Congrats to Naperville!!

    I live about an hour from the Naperville Gymnastics Academy that just landed 1 girl on the Sr. National team and 1 on the Jr. National team. Since I don't know many people on here, I wanted to say congrats if any of their family members are around. I am so proud to see not one but 2 girls...

    Dumb level question

    Your daughter is doing amazing, congrats! My DD is going to be 8 next week and this is her 3rd month doing gymnastics ever. I am really likeing the Level 3 more and more. I know it's going to be a great stepping stone as she gets old and knowing she is learning the right way to do things is...

    Questions about buying a bar

    I would worry about saftey at your size with a home bar. I know they sell those extension kits or something to keep them safer, maybe you could try that.

    Rips and rope burns

    That is where she has them but the shorts aren't helping. However today went better and she used her feet more than her inner thighs.

    Dumb level question

    Thank you soo much madi, that makes me feel better and I think you are right. It's getting her to understand what's at stake and that she needs to get everything perfect so that she can compete like she wants to. NOt compete just for the sake of it!

    Dumb level question

    THanks for sharing that! I dont know what I would say if they wanted her to compete level 3 again, although her best interest is their best interest. I just worry about her age and being to old to really excel to a high level, which is what she hopes to do.

    Rips and rope burns

    Okay thank you..so it's won't be strange that I tell her about the issues? Being at the new gym I often worry that if I bring something up they will think my daughter is a little baby, when she really isn't. She's just new to it all.

    Rips and rope burns

    My daughter is having a really hard time with her rips and rope burn. We recently moved to a new gym where they aren't allowed to use their feet to go up the rope, the other gym did rope maybe once a week. She was hysterical last week with the pain from the rope burn, other than the obvious...

    Dumb level question

    So how did she feel not doing well at level 4 meets? My daughter will NOT be happy and that's why I found a place where they are going to teach her perfection rather than sloppy just to compete. I am hoping she really succeeds this season and goes to level 5 next year.

    Dumb level question

    My daughter is moving from a gym where she was USAG level 4 to a gym that does Level 3 and competes. Now it's obviously not USAG and that is fine with me. She really needs to get the basics down and have proper form before trying to hang with the big kids..lol Anyway, how is level changing...

    Do people who do sports other than gym ever bug you??

    I think you hit the nail on the head. IMO, the girls who are real athletes and cheer on All Star teams are not like you are describing with the school cheerleaders. Where we go to High School cheerleading at it's peak is about ROBHT/L/F, whatever the girls can do. Here is the High School I...

    First Mental Block?

    Well all I can say, from 2 years of experience with a 7 yo with mental blocks is, good luck! Mine finally came off of her's which started in December. No kidding. She is now throwing her tumbling again, but it was a long road and one that wasn't all smiles. What I really suggest is to let...
