    Parents Healthy snack ideas for practice

    My daughter is Xcel Silver and practices from 4p-8p twice a week. With our current schedule she gets off the school bus at my work and we immediately head to practice. I usually have her a snack to eat in the car (25 minute drive) and pack snacks for her to eat during break. I feel like I am...

    WAG What are your tried and true snack choices for your gymnast at practice?

    I have always been a strong believer in having a snack break for kids who practice for four hours. These kids work out very intensely, and so they need effective fuel for their bodies in order for them to get the most out of practice. Gymnastics, being an anaerobic sport, relies on the muscles...

    Parents Quick, healthy snack

    Long story short my son's coach has offered to keep snacks is in his office for my son for before practice (he goes straight from school). My question is what do you recommend?

    WAG What is the densest, fastest snack?

    My DD (9YO, L7) gets about 3 minutes for a mid-practice snack in her newly increased 4.5 hour practices (5.5 hours on TOPs day). She is an itty bitty girl with an enormous appetite. When we get her at the end of practice she is seeming out of gas and famished. Food revives her. What would...

    Parents healthy savoury snack ideas

    My gymnast is always hungry. We always used to suggest fruit whenever she was hungry. However, due to food intolerances and allergies, on the advice of our doctor, we are now limiting her to one piece of fruit every two hours. There's heaps of things she can't eat, such as all dairy (including...

    Now that school has started, it is difficult to ensure that my 7 year old dd is able to get a proper snack prior to her practice. I pick her up at school directly from my work, and we head right to her 3 hour practice. I want to keep a bag of healthy snacks in the car so that something is...

    Hello, I am looking for advice from gym owners/managers on how best to express a concern at our gym. We are fairly new there, just under a year, but now that my 6 yo daughter has made the level 4 team, I have concerns about her, as well as the other childrens, at gym snack options. The gym...

    Parents Does your gymmie get a snack break?

    I am of course mostly speaking about those who practice 3 or 4 hours (or more I guess) at a time. I ask because up until today, my DD got a 10 minute snack break at every practice. Today they were told that this was their last day for snack breaks because they had been leaving messes and had...
