Thanks for the reply. DD is aware that scholarships are pretty much out. However, she has been told by a coach that college gymnastics is not out of the picture completely. not all college gymnasts are all around competitors, some are recruited for certain apparatus. DD has 2 skills to get...

Thanks guys. I agree it will be tough for my dd to compete in college. I have spoken to her about d1,d2,d3 schools and the club gymnastics. I have also told her gymnastics doesn’t have to stop when she graduates high school. This last year she has stressed so much on timing and needing to be a...

hello all. My dd recently switched gyms. she switched for various reasons, drive time, friends at this other gym, training times being earlier, etc. It was not to find a better gym or coaches but I will admit I did think that maybe being at a new gym it might open up the door for my dd to get...

I’m not sure you could say they assessed her. They let her train with the Xcel group. Which consisted of some bars a few things on beam and conditioning. She’s a Platinum and has no shame in starting over.

looking for advise on how to help my daughter move from Xcel to JO. She’s never competed any other group. So far I’ve been told she has to stay in her last competitive level upon looking into a new gym for her. Why would that be? Can’t she start at a level 4 if she has the skills, which she...
