I too have a 6yo that acts immaturely at practice. She has raw talent, unbelievable upper body strength. However, she cannot focus in practice: can't stand in line, whines if she's not 1st, etc. drives me crazy. We've pulled her off team for now because she was crying before practice, not...
I know that the full session tickets are currently on sale. Will they offer individual sessions or do you suggest to go ahead and buy them now? Also, I can't afford that "best seats" so would you go for upper level side or lower level end. Thanks!
My daughter actually just did this. We have had 1 meet where she competed Level 4. She had skipped level 3. She had all skills except her front hip circle, however, she was getting very frustrated and was not wanting to go to practice or anything. Her coach and I talked about it and decided to...
My DD has Unbelievable upper body strength but has horrible flexibility in her back. She is close to having all of her splits. She can out do most of the older girls on chin ups on the high bar and she is only 5.
Love: watching giants to handstand on bars and release moves!
Beam routines that are exciting, lots of tumbling.
Hate: stupid mill circle as it seems everyone else does also!
My DD probably has 15-20 and is at gym 3 days per week :/ it is my fault because I love to buy them! She just got a leo catalogue in the mail and circled all the ones she wanted for her birthday! Geez I told her no way but we will see!!
Did you all see the episode of Toddlers and Tiaras where the mom made her daughter quit gymnastics because her arms where getting too muscular and the felt she didn't look good in her dresses?? The little girl really wanted to do gymnastics and her mother wouldn't let her! Geez!!!
Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. Of course the coach says she told the owner but she didn't hear her???? She also didn't leave the key to the gym or the USAG books that were just bought. 2 girls are leaving but that is all so far. I don't think we have had any leads on a new...
WELCOME! I have DD5, (6 in October). She will compete L4 this year and she lives and breathes gymnastics. I love to watch her and all the girls progress and get new skills! I hope your girls grow and learn and just have fun!!!
Our coach quit last weekend without any notice. She FBed the team moms to tell us she would not be returning and where she was taking a job. She said she was treated in the most unprofessional way by the owner and couldn't take it anymore. Come to find out she did not even tell the owner she was...
Well DD5 (6 in september) will compete L4 this year. She is so close to her FHC on bars just needs to fight for it. She has her RBS but needs a 1 finger spot because of confidence. Beam is looking much better. We were suppose to start season on Aug 27th for a fun meet but our coach just up and...
My DD will start public school this year, Kindergarten. She will get out at 3:10 and have to be at the gym from 4-7 on W-F (level 4). Level 3 goes M-W-F (9hr) and level 6 and above go 12hrs M-T-Th-F. Our coaches work hard to make it work for both parents and students and even work with some so...
