That's my feeling too - it's not like she WANTS to be hurt. She's trying hard, even doing private sessions to catch up, weekly. I'm hoping it stops soon.

Hello all! I don't post often although I do read! My level 3 gymnast is trying to work her way back from an injury. She's been on "light duty" for a few months now and is now, hopefully, finishing PT and able to get back to doing what she loves! She's ready on 2/4 events and is hoping to add...

Yes!!! Our situation is very similar - no family and no gym mates to carpool with and 2 working parents. I'm fortunte in that my kids are in year round school so our summer schedule doesn't change usually... but when my girls get to middle school and go to a traditional calendar this will be a...

My kids have always done 30+ min. of homework, starting in K :( My 5th grader has about an hour each night but she's also in the gifted program in which most of the work is done at home... Communicate with the teacher/school - there is a balance to be made but you can't do that unless everyone...

She's the middle girl and all our kids are busy so it wasn't hard at all, really. She's used to being busy. We do year round school here so I think coming off summer would be harder. We've never had a real issue with this. We've made it clear to hear that she needs to let us know ahead of...

Our schedule is exactly the same - out at 3:45 and then practice at 4:15. Recess every day but no other "down time". She adjusted just fine and we eventually got into our new groove. When I pick her up at 7:30 she comes home, finishes any homework she didn't finish while waiting for carpool...

That's my thought too - She'll meet new people and gain a new perspective on the sport and still get to have lots of fun doing stuff other than gymnastics with people who love gymnastics too. She's going to have a blast :)

Thank you for the replies

Does your gym have rules about camps? I signed up my L3 for IGC next summer and it will be her first gym camp. I sent a note to her coach asking for her thoughts and she said it'd be overwhelming for her and they don't want the girls doing camps when they get to optionals (she's 8). We've...

We can't have a pull up bar as the doorways in our home won't support one (all rooms have double doors/sliders) - we've settled on a kip bar for that work - I won't allow her to be doing actual bar work on it which she understands. I'm not looking for opinions on its use but would love vendors...

Hi all, My daughter wants a kip bar and mat set for christmas this year. I priced the kip bar with extension kit, panel mat and 4" thick practice mat at just over $900 on amazon. I consider this very high for a christmas gift (actually this would qualify for 3 christmas' typically) Are there...

Our gym grabs girls from the dev team for tops and the current girls, L4, have been the only ones on it for a few years now. Getting added to it doesn't happen after L2 it seems (one L2 was added 2 years ago but later switched gyms) but I suppose if we pushed it we may get through. The only...

My daughter turns 8 tomorrow. She's on level 3 this season and is obsessed with watching TOPS training videos on YouTube. The way they progress at her gym (although I feel it's slow) will not get her to the level she needs to test for TOPS, which her current coach confirmed. How important is...
