    WAG Grips Question for L7/Training 8

    My 11 year old is currently a L7 but may move to L8 mid-season. The reason for "maybe" moving up is bars! She is scoring great on all other events and has her skills for 8 solid. Here's the issue. She doesn't use grips. She is TINY. Much smaller than the average 11 year old. (She's 4'4"...

    Parents So, our gym doesn't have a pit...

    Hi All-- This is my very first post! My DD is a 9 year old L6 who has been doing gymnastics for 2 years (just about to the day). She never did rec or pre-team. Instead, she spent years tumbling on (and off!) my furniture until my mother said, "Get that kid in gymnastics!" lol So we went...
