    Parents So, when you kid breaks her hand three days before state

    Yeah, that sucks and that's all I have to say about that. No state, no regionals. That silver lining is somewhere right?

    Parents meet agegroups

    My dd has had a somewhat rough year scoring-wise. She tends to move back and forth between age groups as she has a winter birthday. Sometimes she's with the youngest age group and those little girls are rockstars. I usually mentally prep dd that she probably won't medal because all arounds...

    Parents Help me process through this (homeschooling question)

    Sorry, this might be long. So, this is not necessarily a gym question, but our gym experience has opened us up to a society where there are more people who homeschool. My daughter is 10. She has been in gymnastics since the age of four and her social group is primarily at the gym though she...

    Parents Another reason to love gymnastics

    Today, my little ds participated in a pitch, hit and run competition in our town. My gymmie dd was with us and I told her to just try it for kicks. She said "Ok, yeah, whatever, I'll try." She used her six year old brother's equipment and has never played baseball (well, other than the...

    WAG It's a marathon not a sprint

    This should be my dd's motto. It takes forever to get anything. I mean at least a year usually. Well, tonight, one week before state, after months and months of trying she got her cast handstand. She is so thrilled and everyone in the gym cheered. These are the nights that make it worth it lol

    Parents Coming back after an injury

    Is it reasonable to expect if a girl has been out with a hand injury for 7 to 8 weeks that she might need a spot (honestly just someone to stand there) with skills. My dd has been out and recently released completely by the doctor. She has some anxiety about attempting some skills again as...

    Parents He lookie what my dd got!

    Her new bar routine! I know she has some cleaning up to do and she said "I know, I know, I had an extra swing on the end," but I am so amazed by her progress. A year ago she couldn't do a front hip circle and was hit and miss on the shoot through and the mill circle. She has come such a long...

    Parents too many hours!

    My dd is working on level 5 this year and over the summer she trained 16 hours a week. It was actually an optional 12 or 16, but we chose 16 because she was not doing any other activities. Well, I was thinking the fall schedule would offer an option of 12 or 16 as well, but when we saw the...

    My daughter is an emotional mess. How do I help her

    A little background. My dd is seven and training level 5. She did compete level 4 last year and going into it, didn't really know what to expect. She went to practice and didn't really care about imperfections and if she got a skill or not. In fact, she went through half the year without her...

    Parents Big Day for my dd. Two milestones met!

    She came home yesterday all excited to tell me that she got her kip and vaulted over the table without a spot. I am so happy this happened for her as it has been a rough summer. Lots of conditioning and she has been struggling with some fear issues. She also struggles with the fact that...

    Parents So I figured out how to make a video montage

    Let's see if I can attach it. She has been begging me to make a video of her so here are her first meet of the season and state. It is crazy how much she has improved in just a couple of months. I didn't really notice until I put these together. I am just so impressed at her hard work...

    Communication at your gym

    I just want to see if this is normal. My dd is just coming off her first level four season so she has been on team for about a year. I feel like the communication really stinks. The schedules (summer and school year) rarely come out until just a couple of weeks before they begin. In fact, we...

    Newbie

    Hi, I posted on another thread so I figured I would introduce myself. I have a seven year old who just completed her first year of competition as a level 4. She went back to the gym after her state meet all pumped up and ready to move to 5 skills. She just started training level 5 and we...
