We have finally made the decision to make a gym change for YDD. Neither she nor I can take the negativity any longer. ODD is going to stay (provided gym doesn't kick her out - they know YDD is not coming back, they just don't know she is going elsewhere. Well, actually ODDs two coaches know b/c...
DD is looking for new floor music. I think we have listened to almost everything out there and she likes nothing. She is 13, xcel platinum. Not powerful, more elegant.
When a meet says a final roster is due, what does that mean? Just the names, or names and levels? Our first meet had a final roster due last week. Scratch date is in 2 weeks. It says nothing about level changes on the flyer.
Is there a minimum time for floor routines in platinum. I know it can not be longer than 1 minute 30 seconds, but can it be as short as a minute? Trying to figure out if DD needs a new routine.
which gym would you go with?
Gym A: girls are currently on team, and somewhat happy. Have been on team for 4 + years. Has amazing coaches, and you as a parent have been able to work with them for the most part to fix problems with one child, however you have also been super frustrated a lot...
I need some help with YDD. She is 10, almost 11. She is on her third year of team. She says she likes it. I have asked her many, many times if she wants to quit, and always get an no for the answer. She is usually happy to go to practice. She killed it last year - high 38s at every meet. This...
Looking for some gym recs. DH is in CA interviewing and it looks like he will be offered the job. Girls are not great, but enjoy gym a lot. 10 year old is an xcel silver (but could be L 5 at another gym?) , and 12 year old is xcel gold (but could be a 7?) . But our gym is funny with skills, so...
I thought I posted, but now I can not seem to find the post. DD needs some floor music. She is 11, not a dancer, not super powerful, but very pretty lines and what she does she does well. She will be xcel gold. She says she likes "scary" songs. Her current (only :)) favorite is Dead Silence. Any...
DD is struggling with blocks big time. Started with her back tuck on floor. Is now unable to connect her robhs. Forget about a double. Has no problem with bwobhs, thank goodness, and has no problem with bwo bt dismount on beam or her bhs on beam. However she is struggling with a simple bhs on...
I am so frustrated with DD, and have so far managed to keep my mouth shut, but the only reason I could tonight is because she went home with a team mate for a sleepover, and I didn't have a chance to talk to her. I went to gym to get YDD. ODD was still in practice, and I watched her floor...
The more I read, the more I wonder about our gym. They seem to have super crazy requirements for our xcel team. My DD's are both repeating levels - YDD will be a 2nd year bronze, ODD will be a 2nd year silver. There is a small chance ODD will move to gold, but I doubt it b/c they always have the...
This may get long, and I have way over thought this, but I honestly do not know what to do. I have 2 DD's who compete xcel. 8 year old bronze DD, and 10 year old silver DD. At our gym, xcel is competitive - kids are expected to compete the max routines. 8 yo DD is talented - she does not put a...
DD is 8. She has had her ROBHSBHS and her ROBHSBT for awhile and all of a sudden she can no longer do a simple BHS. Her first meet is in 2 weeks. She just came home from 4 hours of tumbling in tears because even after 4 hours she doesn't have it. She is going back to practice in about an hour...
This may be all jumbled and long b/c I am still upset, but hopefully it will make sense, b/c I am really not sure what to do.
I have two girls who are on team. ODD (10) is xcel silver, and YDD (7 - 8 in two weeks, so tech 8)) is xcel bronze. ODD LOVES, LOVES, LOVES our gym, and the coaches love...
