She is not experiencing in more pain in her wrists. Coach is threatening her that he will not allow her to compete vault at all. He will say she can and then he will say she can't. I'm not sure why he does this? But I just don't want to make it tougher on her at this point. If you try and talk...

I would really like to get other opinions on this and especially from other coaches point of view. My DD's state meet is this weekend and she just came back fully to practice on Monday. She has never stopped going to practice but has had a couple of injuries. The last time she flipped her vault...

Just curious? What is the acceptable amount of seats one person should save at meets and for how long? A few meets ago was at a meet. When one "Mom" was saving an entire row of seats. Myself and my daughters friend had moved just to watch the floor exercise. The meet hadn't officially started...

Thank you for the input. Meet next weekend,see what happens.

They won't allow the girls to chuck the vaults but also won't allow them to compete front handsprings. So they just have them not compete vault. Tried talking/reasoning to the vault coach to allow girls to qualify for states but preferred to have them get "0" on the event. All the girls would...

The gym my daughter goes to now has requirements in order to compete on vault as a level 8. Front handsprings are not considered acceptable level 8 vault. Each gymnast is only working one vault and most be able to throw that vault in order to compete. Last meet the vault coach scratched the...

I agree with not focusing on just scores. Personal goals and personal achievement is very important. But "love" it when gyms say we dont focus on the scores. Well ,without a score there is no "place" for a meet. They are connected whether you admit or not. Thank you for the responses.

Hoping for just a bruise! We just had a girl out with a severe bone bruise to her foot. She was casted for two weeks but back ,now. Sending you a quick recovery.

Hoping her foot is healed! Sending you positive thoughts and she can finish her season! Best Wishes

I have noticed a trend in our area to post place standings vs scores. Posting I am referring to club websites,facebook pages, and local newspapers. I am confused by this because why not post both the place and the score. Many times a gymnast will score lower but receive a higher place standing...

Yes,our gym does allow the gymnast to attend other gym's camps(more lower levels). When you mean other gym's camps are you speaking of gym's in your area that offer day camps? or more somethng like Woodward ,IGC,or a College Camp? There is one gym in our area that does not allow their gymnast to...

We were at a gym that had us buy two copies of the music. But when I think about it we should have just purchased the MP3 version. Never though about asking for the copy back . Because when we purchased two we kept one and the gym kept the other. But the routine was recycled down and the gym...

First, I conduct a biomechanical evaluation of the gymnast to determine what the predisposing risk factors may be that created the stress fracture. I review all of their skills on each event to determine if there is a skill set that contributed to their stress fracture. The goal I set is to...

My DD has also struggled on and off with severs. She has won the heel cups and tape as well. She was at a gym that told her she needed to work through the pain and would get frustrated with her while she put on the heel cups.The gym she now attends allows her to tumble in tennis shoes and vault...

Went to a wake last night for a three year old child that just passed away after a long battle with cancer. The funeral is today, really does put life into perspective and feel very lucky to have all the memories i have with my children, that this one mother will never be able to have. Heart...

This is a general question. Do most gyms create each gymnast new and individual floor routines? We have a gym in the area that will pass down routines from one gymnast to another including same music. Few of us were having a debate on this. The gym we are at hires a special choregrapher to do...

My DD has gym "hopped". We gave our last gym two years. We really did our best to make it work. I will say ,we tried to make it work for her. It was ultimately her decision to leave and I did make her stay to the end of the sesaon. We had many discussions with the owner and even brought my DD to...

Recently in our area. Gymnast were not treated fairly at the gym they were at. So a few decided to go in a different direction. When one door shuts others open. Just how the world works. Not every gym is for everyone. Better to find that earlier than later. See that this happens a lot with...

We were at a gym and it seemed to be a common element that many of the girls were having back issues. I know of at least four that have shown stress fractures. But all of these girls were optionals that did repetitive back walkovers to the point of stupidity. Physical therapy and two months rest...
