Dd's team had their end of year banquet this evening- the first year they have combined the banquets for the compulsory and optional levels. It was great having almost all of the gymnasts and their families together. We are very fortunate to have a great group of *almost* entirely drama free...

DD got her cast to handstand tonight, which means she has accomplished all 4 goals she set for herself at the new year to accomplish by her birthday, July 1st. She got the bwo on beam 1st, followed by ro bhs back tuck, followed by front tuck, and now the cast handstand! Super excited for my...

So excited! We got a new coach! :D Some of you may recall a while back I was conflicted when dd was recruited by another gym because I adore current gym's philosophy so much. The conflict came from recent coaching issues at optional levels at current gym and dd's desire to get to optional...

My little one did her first RO BHS BT today on her own! She is still technically a level 4, (level 5 starts May 1st,) but she set her mind to it and is so lucky to have a coach that has confidence in her. We were all very excited, especially her big sister, who you can hear shouting as she...

This evening I took dd to an open gym at a nearby gym. (Ours does not host open gyms due to, I believe, liability concerns.) DD has been to this gym 3 times now when Sunday evening comes and she is bouncing off the walls. While at the gym, I was approached and, I guess for lack of better...

DD had her last level 4 meet yesterday, and I had more fun watching her than I have ever had before! I laughed and I cheered and I gasped and I smiled. DD tied her highest AA of 37.7 and she had a fall! A fall for her is unheard of- but I cracked up when she did! The parent sitting next to me...

DD had another successful Level 4 meet! DD had a mishap on bars and posted her lowest score of the season with a 9.25, but it was still good enough for 1st place in her age division! DD stubbed her toe against the low bar during her shoot through- but the weirdest thing is she sort of held...

Last Friday 8yo dd began her 3rd Sever's flare up since September. That was the beginning of what has become a mind boggling growth spurt- 7" in 18 months. After her first heel pain issue, her pediatrician ordered x-rays to be sure there was no underlying problem, diagnosed it as a sprain, and...

Hello all, and thanks for reading. I am hoping to get a bit of input from both coaches and gymnasts and perhaps any parent experiences. I will start with a bit of background on my 8 yo. About 2 years ago my dd started rec classes. She displayed talent and was moved up to the level 3 devo...

Hello, I am looking for advice from gym owners/managers on how best to express a concern at our gym. We are fairly new there, just under a year, but now that my 6 yo daughter has made the level 4 team, I have concerns about her, as well as the other childrens, at gym snack options. The gym...
