Good luck to your dd. My dd was suppose to test today but she fractured her foot about 5 weeks ago and just started back to light tumbling this week and will hopefully be released from the Dr. on monday. We both miss being at the ranch. She was A team when she was 8 and 9 so it has been very...
My dd has had one test already. It is my understanding on the skills part such as beam that if they fall off they get a 0 for the entire routine. (even though there are several skills). They are also being strict on stuck landings. That is going to make it difficult for these girls that are...
My DD will be competing saturday evening at the Huntsville Meet. Hopefully she will be ready by then. She is still lacking consistency, but it is the beginning of the season for us so I am sure that will get better.
I found out from DD coach today that she made the A team:) I assume that meant she got an email this morning sometime. Hopefully you should know something soon!!
I have only sent mosquito spray in the past because dd cannot take "roach" spray on the plane. They have small bottles of mosquito spray in the sporting goods section of walmart. My dd has not complained to me about the roaches,ants etc. I haven't stayed in the cabins. DD has stayed in the...
If you will go on the USAG website it will give you the information you need. They are housing some of the gymnasts in the "hotel" depending on when your coach registered her and the number of girls staying onsite. It does say to bring linens even if housed in the hotel. On the website click...
It depends on whether she is staying in the cabins or the "motel". In the motel, linens and pillows are provided. If she is staying in the cabins then she will need to take either sheets/blanket or a sleeping bag and pillow. They do have showers and I sent a couple of towels with my dd to use...
My DD will be competing level 8 this season. Unsure if she will have a split season with level 8/9 since it is such a big jump, but I am ok with doing the entire level 8 season. She just turned 9 over the summer so she still has plenty of time:)
We will be attending this meet also. Do you go to the UGA website to purchase tickets to the college meet? This will be our first time to this meet. Thankfully we can drive to this one, however we will be flying to New York to a meet this year which will cost us a lot of money, but excited to...
DD went to ortho after several weeks of pain in her right shoulder/ clavicle area. She did not have an accident at gym or anywhere else that we know of. Xray was not clear enough so CT was taken and showed some irregularity with some deformity along the medial head of the right clavicle...
Welcome to the CB:) I have seen your dd on youtube and she is a talented gymmie. Good luck on making it to National Testing. That will be an expensive flight coming from Hawaii..yikes!!!
I agree with Bookworm.. My dd made the TOPS A team last year and has been to both TOPS camps this year. I don't know that she learned any major skills while she was there, but she got to work with some of the best coaches around the country and the TOPS staff. They know her now and I believe...
I do remember last year that the girls were split up according to ages and my dd who was 8 years old tested on saturday and sunday but I don't know if that will be the same schedule. They should post something on the USAG website within the next few weeks. Good Luck!!!
My dd is 9 years old and is currently training level 8/9. She will be competing level 8 in December. I have 3 other children who are in cheer, baseball and swimming.
My dd will get a new competition leo this year. So happy to be getting a new one since the old one was plain and ugly. However, I am not excited about paying for a new one. I know they were just trying to save us money, and I appreciate that but i would rather pay a little more for the leo and...
Your situation sounds very similar to mine. My older DD will be 12 in May and she is jealous of her little sister's success. I think she is proud of her, but she still tries to say I treat her differently. I have 4 children 14 yo DS who doesn't ever say anything, my "jealous" DD 11 and then...
Normally my DD would go to the University of Alabama's camp, however, she will not be going this year since she will be going to two TOPS camps at Karolyi's gym in April and July....so no funds for anything else!
We are very excited with our summer schedule. Normally my DD goes 8-12:30 M-F and sat 8-12. This summer she will go a few hours less and have saturdays free:) Summer schedule M-F 8-1.
My dd competed level 3 then skipped level 4 and went to level 5 and it wasn't a problem. It will take a little while to learn the kip but she should be fine since she has all summer to work on them. Good luck:)
My situation is probably a little different than the typical homeschooling family. My youngest dd is homeschooling (a requirement in order to work with her coach) and my other children go to public school. I have always wanted to try homeschooling prior to us actually starting it a couple of...
