Thank you for all the replies. I will check with her coach and see what we need. I was hoping at least water just in case she does need a drink. I am hoping her bun holds ups to all the flipping.

My dd made team and next month she has her first competition. What does she need to take with her when she is out on the floor waiting? Do the kids take a gym bag to put stuff in? Does she need water or snacks just in case? She is excited to compete in a few weeks but I am nervous that I...

My dd has started to learn leg lifts and L hangs on bars. When she is home practicing the leg lifts she is pushing her pelvic up(forward). Is this correct or should her body stay straight and just legs lift up? How do you correct this? She wants to work on this.

Thanks for the advice. She is 5 years old. She does kick up but just doesn't get over. It will come with time.

My dd has been trying real hard to do a pull over on the bars. She has practice pull ups and getting her strength. I was watching her at the playground and she was on the rings doing something like a pull over but no bar. She will pull herself up on rings and flip over backwards. I don't...

My daughter is 5 and just started gymnastics a few months ago. During class she jumps around and will sometimes get side tracked doing other stuff instead of paying attention to the coach. I know it is boring waiting your turn. when they are doing floor exercises she will be climbing on other...

Thanks for the advice. I did have her to specialist when she was 2-3 and he said she would out grow the bow legs which she did. I will bring it up to the doctor at our next visit. He did check her hips and said they were fine too. It might be something that she needs reminded about.

My dd during gymnastics I notice she walks toes in. When she was younger I had her to a doctor about her being bow legged and toes in. The bow legs straighten out, but when she is on balance beam I notice that she wants to walk toes in. Is that something that she needs reminded to walk...

thanks for the advice. I just needed to hear it from someone else. We do the stretches, but it is when she wants to do it I let her say she wants to do it, even with the bars. She would like more time at the gym, but I didn't want to rush it. I was more worried about her not wanting to do...

My DD is in rec gymnastics. She goes once a week, but on her days she don't she will practice on her on. She doesn't have the strength to do pull over. She did it the first month she started, but then there was 2 girls in her class that told teacher they were scared and didn't want to do it...

My 5 year old just started and at first she would do the pull over on the bars. She ended up in a group one day with 3 girls that was scared to do it and she decided not to do it either. Now she won't do the pull over, but will do the pull up and a straddle on it. Just wondering if she will...
