Never thought I'd get to post in this group but I am! My older half brother has a daughter who just turned 9. I am living with them this summer because I am doing a sports med/coaching internship at one of the local Deaf colleges at kids sports camps. Anyway my niece had been doing gym classes at the local Y, but the past few months she's been begging to join a team program and compete.
She'd capped off skill wise at the Y she's at, I went and saw one of the classes last week. She's definitely a solid L 4 with some L 5 skills on the bars (she does a gorgeous glide and long hang kip as well as great front and back hip circles). She's a lot leaner than I ever was at her ages and her lines are gorgeous. I'm just so proud of her! And she seems to be having a good time and that makes me happiest (her mom lives in a not as nice part of the city and she's not always with my brother and it seems like gymnastics is already helping keep her out of trouble and give her confidence!)b
My brother is just trying to find a good gym, since it will involve driving out of the city (DC). Can anyone recommend good gyms in the VA or MD area? The closer to DC the better. Thanks!!
