Just curious, who's gym closes a week during the summer for Vacation? Ours typically closes the week of July 4th so most gym families schedules their summer Vacations during that week. Is this typical? I was chatting with an out of state friend whos DD does gym & she never heard of a gym closing...

I have previously posted that my youngest DD wants to try Cheer as a sport. Which we will be doing next month. I know Gymnastics scholarships exist, but what about Cheer scholarships? Don't get the wrong impression here, we are not doing sports or any extra curricular activities for...

My DD is on L3 gymnastics team. There are a few girls on her team that do competitive cheerleading too. From what I have read on this site gymnasts shouldn't be coached by cheerleaders & they will learn to tumble incorrectly. I don't know much about gymnastics, but these girls seem to tumble...

I was told that the group my DD practices with will be competing lvl 3 achievement in the fall. And next year the goal for her group will be to compete lvl 3 placement. My question is what's the difference? Different skills? Requirements?

My 7yo dd is training lvl 3. She recently came home from gym with an progress/ evaluation form. Her coach marked off the skills she has, she has with needed form improvement, she doesn't have. And she basically doesn't have any of her lvl 3 skills. I was hoping she would compete this fall lvl 3...

We just got finished with a team meeting and our gym has decided to not compete until level 4 (the new level 4/ old 5). I was excited about that bc my DD is currently on pre team and is considered lvl 2. They will break up the pre team into 2 separate groups (since there are tons of lvl 2 &3)...

Ok. So as I have previously posted, I know very little about the sport of gymnastics. The little I do know I learned from my 6yo DD who is on pre team. So a few questions here... What do u call the thing on the wall w/ the bars all n a row from low to high that gymnast do leg lifts on? & DD...

So sitting in viewing area watching my DD gymnastics practice, & another parent sits down next to me and begins a conversation. After awhile I realize she is a CGM. Her DD I think is age 7 (she had a younger DD who she treats very differently-need to add that). Her DD is extremely small & to me...

Ok I am pretty "green" when it comes to gymnastics. I have read on here about kids in "developmental" gym classe, and I have read about kids on pre team. My question is What is the difference? I know pre team at our gym starts at level 2/3. So that being said, what would be the developmental...

My DD (5 1/2 - pre team) had a 2 week break from gym for the holidays. Thursday was her first day back after the break & Gees.... it was a struggle. It seemed as if she couldn't do half of what she could before the break. But the worst part of it was that she seemed to be clueless unless her...

My DD 5 1/2 made pre team. She went to practice with a biketard (leo with the bike shorts attached all in one). Her coach told me she is not allowed to wear that. Just plain leotard. At the gym, rec and preschool classes can wear whatever... biketards, dance leo with skirts, shorts and...

Is it possible for a gymnast in preschool rec class to be overlooked for the pre team? Why are some girls chosen for pre team & others are not. Especially if they seem to be at the same skill level & focus? Our gymis big & has multiple classes & coaches with a 10 (kids) to 1 (coach) ratio for...

My dd recently made pre team & was asked to practice 3 days / wk for 1 hr each day. Unfortunately we are unable to make all 3 days. Probably just 2 days @ most. I'm not familiar with gymnastics at all. She is my only child involved in it & I never did it as a kid. Will she fall behind in the...
