Thank you so much for the responses. I just want to make sure that she doesn't get frustrated in trying to improve. I was just thinking to sign her up for a private session and today in her gym she had a chance to work one on one with her coach. Hopefully this helps in the upcoming meet.

Hi, My DD is a first year L8 gymnast and she is doing well with her Floor, Beam and Vault. However, she is not happy with her Bars. One of her weakness in uneven bars is her form. She knows this but she doesn't know what to do to improve it. Any suggestions on what kind of work out or specific...

I would suggest to leave this decision to the gymnast. Since she is the one that will be there everyday and it is part of her experience making the decision. We as parents can guide her with the pluses and minuses of each and let her draw the conclusion and we support her decision.

My daughter was in that meet. She is a L8 gymnast and has been in three meets so far this season. All three of her meets have been in three different states (CO, AZ, and TX). Her scores has been pretty much consistent across the three meets. We are from Region 1 (AZ). However, in my personal...

Based on your posting, sounds like you are not sure about taking over the business. Do you have a good understanding of the whole operation of the gym business? You might have been coaching for a long time, but coaching and running the whole business operation are not not exactly the same. There...

Sorry to hear your situation. If you still want to be around gymnastics, channel your energy to the next generation by looking into coaching. This way you can reevaluate again after you are fully healed.

My daughter is testing for the 10 year old and made it to B team but she was kind of disappointed because last year she made the A team. She missed the A team by a score of 1.xx and none of her teammates made the A team either. From our gym 3 made to B team. Going into the National test we...

My daughter is in TOPs program. She made the A team last year and just got back from the National test this year and waiting for the result. If your daughter is interested in doing the training, I would let her do it if I were you. However, you want to watch out for any indication of burnt out...

Hi, Earlier this year during one of the meets that my daughter is in we have an opportunity to post her picture on an NFL class stadium jumbotron (electronic board) for the event that is taking place in there. I was thinking should I put her picture up on the jumbotron or should I not. There...

As of now we do not have any plan to go to Texas with her. I was there last year when she did her national test for the first time. I was just there for the mental support. It was her first time to travel without parents and she was just turning nine at that time. She went with her team mates...

Hi, My daughter has been in gymnastics for several years now. She is a very conservative and almost always the last in getting the skills requirements for each level because of fear. Physically she is strong. She made it to TOP Diamond level two years ago and Team A last year. However, she...

Congrat... Congratulation for making it to the National Test. I saw her video during the test. Did she take the second test after the video posting? My daughter will be there as well in the same age group (10). Hopefully they get a chance to meet each other and/or might be in the same cabin...

Age shouldn't be a matter. In our gymn there are twin gymnasts sisters but they are at different levels. They are still young and this shows that each gymnast is different in term of the timing when she will achieve certain skills.

I am not sure. There are many gyms in Phoenix area and I see some of the girls have been moving from one gym to another. So far my DD is happy where she is. One of the girl from the other gym that made it to team A used to be in our gym also. We also have a girl who moved from Ohio area.

My dd made it to camp A for the first time. We really missed her while she was there. Our gym has two girls in camp A and two girls in camp B. I believe there are a total of twelve gymnasts from Phoenix area that made it to the camps. Seven of them in camp A and five in camp B. By the way the B...

Just thought to mention it here that the 2009 USA TOP National Team pictures of their Training Camp (Dec2-6, 2009) is up. You can view them at :: USA Gymnastics :: Clicking on the first top left (as of this posting) team pictures will open up the album. Please enjoy....

Hope she is doing a lot better now. For the gymnastics part I believe she will bounce back in no time. My daughter was also missing gymnastics for a full week with flu ( it was a regular flu). She got the flu on a saturday night right after a meet. She ended up missing a week practice and...

Try setting up a half hour private session with a coach to work specifically on this. If you have a choice of coaches go with the one that you most comfortable with. We did this for our daughter and the half hour private session is totally worthed to help her overcome her difficulties. Even to...

We only add private session for our daughter when she is stuck at certain skills so that she can pass the hurdle. We also did some private sessions in preparing her TOP national test. The gym prepare the girls very well for the physical ability test locally to qualify for the national test...
