    Trying to get somewhere with the press handstand

    azgymrats- my daughter did her first straddle press handstand when she was 4 years old. Of course she is much better at controlling them now but she is 7. I have heard that some girls never get their press. Good luck

    Parents Rips care?

    We use the tea bag trick. My dd does tea bags for about 15 mins and then I put neosporin on the rip and socks on her hands. That is how she goes to bed. She got a really bad rip right before her first meet!! We did the tea and slept in socks with neosporin for 2 nights and she was good to go by...

    bridges

    I was told by a coach at my daughter gym that under 5 shouldn't be forced. If they can do a bridge on their own it was okay but you shouldn't touch them... usually they do a stretch they call "table tops"

    Level 4 bar deduction ??

    How much of a deduction is it in the level 4 bar routine if a gymnast does 1 1/2 mill circle but doesn't fall off.. .rocks back up to the bar and then does another mill circle?

    Funny Things People who don't do gym have said?

    It seems like everyone outside of gymnastics thinks that girls who do gymnastics are trying to go to the olympics. I'm not positive about the #'s but isn't there only like 10 girls on the USA olympic team? That would be 10 girls every 4 years. You would have better luck winning the lottery.

    Parents Meets on Fridays?

    My daughter competed in her first meet on a friday. It was local but we had to be there at 4:15. She was nervous and excited so she couldn't get to sleep ontime the night before so I let her stay home that day. I'm sure it won't be the last time. Plus she didn't want to go to school with...
