This isn't really gymnastics related, so it might need to be moved to Off-Topic.
Since October of 2012, I moved from doing competitive gymnastics, to doing a rec class for two hours a week, but basically doing the same skills. In late January, I had to stop coaching "my" ( I call them mine...
This is what I'm doing right now. It was my parents' choice for me to take a break from competing, and it's really hard. But, my coaches and the owner talked to my parents about my doing an advanced rec class, that's 2 hours, once a week. I'm getting to work on basically the same skills I would...
Hi everyone,
Since the start of our new rec season, (September 4th), I've started to help coach the 2-4 pre gym class, (45 mins) and the 5-6 year old gym class (1 hour), as well as still taking classes. I'm doing an advanced rec team, (basically the same things I would do if I was on team...
At our gym, we have to straighten up mats, picking up our trash from our snack, etc. every practice. About once a month or so, we spend 15 minutes at the end of practice really cleaning and picking up trash, reorganizing mats, picking up ALL the bobby pins, hair clips, ponytail holders, etc...
Hey Everyone,
I was just wondering, how do you, or your DD wear your hair to meets? Does your gym have a required hairstyle? Also, do you have hair scrunchies, regular hair bows, or cheer bows?
In the past, my gym has had required hairstyles for the Level 4s and under, as well as Bronze. They...
When you can do more than double the amount of push-ups any of the football players can do in your freshmen P.E. class :)
And, when you can run a mile faster than 85% of the guys in your P.E. class.
Hi everyone!
Over the past 3 weeks or so, my gym has started choreographing our routines. About 3 weeks ago, we started choreographing our beam routines, then the next week, we choreographed our bar routines, and this week, we started choreographing our floor routines. (My floor music is...
Most of my really bad falls are on beam. Lol.
One time, I was in a handstand on beam, I went past vertical, so, when tried to turn my hand, and come down, (sort of like in the Level 6 dismount) I guess I didn't turn my hand quite right, because I slammed my back on the beam, then my ankle on...
Rec kids can basically wear anything, except jeans. Team girls can wear shorts and leos. The only shorts we can't wear are the baggy basketball shorts, because they can get caught when our coaches spot us. But the only time we're allowed to wear sports bras and shorts only is when there are only...
Hi everyone!
I was just wondering, how many weeks off do you get off a year from gymnastics? Not including family vacations. Just when everyone in your gym gets a week off.
Currently, I'm on spring break right now, and our gym gives us spring break off. We also usually get the week of July...
At the last meet I was at, one girl had Country Girl by Luke Bryan. :)
I've also heard Rain is a Good Thing by Luke Bryan for floor music.
One girl at my gym has Welcome to the Jungle as her floor music, and she's a really, upbeat gymnast. Another song I think is upbeat is Come on Eileen by...
