    How many hours a week should prep opt rookies be practicing?

    Hi Welcome to Chalkbucket. I'm sorry I don't know too much about prep-op. I know there are a lot of people on here who do though. I just wanted to tell you how bad I feel for your dd. She sounds like she wants to put in the time, and isnt being allowed to do so. I find it sad that an 8 year...

    Fast-tracking to Elite - Pitfalls or red flags to look for?

    I agree with Geoffrey. It would seem that Stretch is implying that 99% of gymnasts should be tossed aside. I know there are a few who really do make it all the way to the top, and they should be very proud of their accomplishments. However, in our house, this is not what our goals are...

    Parents Flipfest Meet report

    Hi. I just had to say that I also agree with everyone. It is one thing to not realize a child is coming down with something. It is another to knowingly expose her to other people. There are kids and parents out there who may have issues that compromise their immune system. To them it is not...

    Parents Canadian levels?

    Hi. I'm new here, although I've been visiting for quite some time now. I have two girls who are competing right now USAG levels 6 and 9, and one in pre-school classes. My dh is possibly being transferred to Quebec for work. I was hoping someone could give me an explanation of the Canadian...
