    Parents Leg Conditioning Makes My DD Cry, What Can I Do?

    Thank you for your words of wisdom. She works through her core and arm conditioning in a decent manner. (So sorry your DD is struggling with her core conditioning. There's always something.) It's her legs. I was actually thinking of having her learn to ice skate. It must be the Canadian in me...

    WAG Difference Between New USAG Level 6 and Old Level 7

    Hi Everybody, I'm new to CB and I'm so glad to have all of you as such an amazing resource for gymnastics. My dd is 8 and just completed her first season as a new level 3 (old level 4), but I noticed that some of her gymmies that just finished competing level 5 during the compulsary season here...
