DD has always struggled with bars. She just got her pirouette, but its hit or miss. Her confidence is down (as it is at the beginning of every season). Her coach knows she can do it and so do I. How do I get her to realize she can do it, too?

My dd has been recovering from an elbow sprain for two months and it still hurts a little during bars. She has been unable to compete yet this season. Has anyone tried the Freedom pediatric arm sleeve? The arm doesnt hurt a lot but her coach is still worried.

Thats what our gym does too. Levels 8-10 do 24hrs.

Maybe you could consult an orthopedist? My dd hurt her elbow over a month ago. It wasn't broken, but we took her to an orthopedist anyway. It hurt alot and our coach wouldnt allow her to do anything other than conditioning until the orthopedist said so. It took a good 5 weeks.

We have practices the same amount of hours, but in the morning instead.

My dd hurt her heal and is doing a front walk over instead.

Do you not want to do level 6? My daughter is doing it now. Its a nice confidence builder and a good way to get ready for 7.

Id like to join. My dd will be missing her first meet as an optional tomorrow due to an elbow injury.

We can wrap it though, right? Maybe we could put one of the heel pads under the ace bandage.

Hi all. My DD has a bone bruised heel. She has been using a cheetah cup and it is helping a lot. Our competition season starts this weekend and she desperately wants to compete vault and floor (her best events). Can she use the cheetah cup at meets?

One month ago my dd took a fall off bars. She hit her heel on the spring board. We had it x-rayed and it isn't fractured. It still hurts her (one month later) when she jumps or runs. She can't do vault or floor. Her coach mentioned bone bruise tonight. Im not sure what to do. We've been icing...

Is there a region 7 group? Id love to join.

My bad. I was thinking level 4.

Could someone tell me where I can find this forum.

We are in Pennsylvania. Our competitive season runs October through April (maybe a little later for states and regionals). I know the other states in our region run their season differently. What do some other states in region 7 do?
