DD injured herself last night during vault (hurdling into RO for yurchenko). X-rays are clear and MRI is on Thursday. She thinks she heard the snap as she jumped up into her hurdle but it may have been right as she came back down. Based on the initial location of swelling and current swelling...

I just got my 9th grader's bus times in the mail (starting school next week). I am trying to figure out how she is supposed to sleep. Bus time is 5:40am (so must be at bus stop at 5:30am) and school begins at 7. She gets home on the bus at 3:30pm (will be later the first few weeks). I have...

Kenzie Shirai = unbelievably, amazing air sense. Wow.

I have a 11 year old gymnast who would like a foam roller (Christmas present). Anyone know the best size and density? She is about 4'9" and 77 pounds. Thanks!

I didn't see this posted, but found what appears to be the finalized requirements for the optional levels. http://usagym.org/PDFs/Women/Rules/J.O.%20Code%20of%20Points/appndx14_optreqchart_2013.pdf

Does anyone have some beam fairies they can send my daughter's way? She cannot seem to land her cartwheel on beam and has gotten to the point where she dreads beam during practice. Her first meet is coming up and I would love if she could just land a few before then (just to help her know that...

J. has sort of had her glide kip for a month. Sort of being the fact that she could get herself up about 20% of the time. So definitely not consistent - but hey - we took it! Last night I got to the gym a little early and she had just moved to bars. Oh my gosh - she looked completely...

My dd J. has been so close to getting her kip for a couple of weeks. Last night it finally happened!!! She was able to do 4 kips and she is really excited about coming to practice tonight to do more. I am so glad she got it 3 weeks before we head off to Disney so that she can continue...

My oldest dd (almost 9) is starting her first season on team this year (level 5) and loves it. My youngest, like many siblings, has spent lots of time hanging out in the waiting area in the last year. She turned 5 in Feb. and in January I decided to put her in a rec class 1 day a week as well...

Today my daughter participated in a mock meet with her club to show the girls in the developmental program what they could look forward to if they continued on and made team. Her club doesn't begin competing until Level 5, so she performed the Level 4 routines at the meet with the rest of the...

In the last two days of practice my daughter got her standing BHS on floor, her FHC, and her ROBHS on a mat. You all weren't kidding that when they get a skill it can sometimes trigger a bunch to come!

Hello there. I'm pretty new to the whole gymnastics thing. I have a just-turned-8 year old who began pre-team this month, training for level 5, which is the first level her gym competes. She probably won't begin competing until 2011. She is so excited to have moved over and spend more time...
