Parents Year 2008 and 2009 gymnasts

[COz]

I've just set up a new social group for parents of kids born in either 2008 or 2009.
I'm thinking that both in terms of gymnastics and developmentally that these kids have more in common than just straight pre-team, which can include such a large range of ages.

This might give us some space to commiserate on bedtimes and their inability to get in and out of leotards effectively without annoying everyone else. Possibly also containing some potential insanity and dealing with it without annoying everyone else

Anyway, I thought it was worth a try, we'll see how it works out.

People who don't post on at least a semi-regular basis will be quietly removed from the group. No lurkers.

Is this group country specific? If not, would love an invite...2009 here

I have a 2009 gymnast and would love to be included.

I have a 2008 (end of January birthday so she's almost 7) dd. She just competed level 2 and is training for level 3 next fall now. Would that work or is the group just for non-competing pre-team gymnasts?

I think that counts mom2newgymnast. I think it's more age geared than preteam/compete themed...maybe, kind of sort of, I hope? We are gearing up for L3 too this spring

This is a great idea. Someone should start a group for the parents of 12 year olds. I know i could use a sounding board to keep me from pulling out all my hair!!

 

[InbarSquirrel]

Add me please; I have one 2008 and the other is 2007

I'll join. Our younger gymnastic child is a 2009 baby who just turned 5 earlier this month. She hasn't moved to the developmental program yet and is still playing in the preschool gym. Currently our plan is to let her keep playing for the next six months and re-evaluate when summer comes. I'm not convinced that she really wants to do what most people would call "real gymnastics" so she may lose interest once the focus is more on skills mastery and less on lots of conditioning disguised as games.

Invitations sent. Yes, @mom2newgymnast I'm thinking age based, it works well for mothers group forums from what I hear. There's also the pre-team group which includes some older kids.
