Thanks. My dd thinks she gets extra points for harder skills. Most of her team does pull over, 2 back hip circles and dismount on bars. She did her squat on jump to high bar and scored lower than her teammates. I'm fairly certain she could rock the two back hip circle routine but I don't see...
Hi,
I don't understand xcel and I'm afraid to ask my dd's coach because I don't want to sound like a CGM! I thought my dd was competing gold but the coach said she is behind in tumbling and needed to compete silver. I'm ok with that but what does she need to be in gold? She has a back tuck...
My daughter has (in my opinion) very flexible shoulders. She can almost go all the way down to the floor when she does the eagle stretch. It seems to freak a lot of people out when she does it. She also seems to be able to "pop" her shoulder out (for lack of a better description). Is this...
It is open. I wish I called for the hours because I drove there on Sunday and it was closed (website I checked said 12-5). It does have good deals but be sure to try them on because many are irregular in sizing. I bought one last year said child medium and it was definitely a large. I am...
This is my daughter's room. I couldn't find gymnastics bedding for her. We have pillows and cute prints from cafe press. There is another decal on the other wall.
Yes she deals with anxiety. We moved her to a YMCA team and she has been great! We have no idea if we are going to move for sure yet. I don't think there are any YMCA teams in that area of NC. I think she could handle more intense training but what she really can't handle is a coach that yells a...
Hi,
Anyone know of any good gyms in the Raleigh NC area? Considering an out of state move and would like to check out options for my dd. Something not super competitive would fit her needs. She is current level 4 now but due to move to new level 4.
You just described my dd EXACTLY. She will be 9 next month and has diagnosed anxiety. I'm sure her negativity is part of her anxiety. I struggle daily with her because I'm sure I'm not handling it the right way.
My dd is not on medication but does have a diagnosed anxiety disorder. In October we moved her to a YMCA program and it has been wonderful for her! I vote for something less intense if it is available. At one point her anxiety was making gymnastics nearly impossible for her.
Thanks for the replies.
First, this post isn't about why we moved to a YMCA. There seem to be some very competitive teams in her league. She is training less hours. My dd has anxiety issues which I've posted about before. The Y seems to be a good fit for her needs. We in no way moved her...
