Our gym has finished their competitive season, and we had our levels 1-4 teams finish undefeated and State Champs. Our level 10s were also state champs, and we sent 3 girls to Nationals and 2 to NIT (we only have 12 level 10s, and 3 were unable to participate at regionals). I just have to know...

DD is being moved up to level 4 training group. While I am sure that competing at level 4 is contingent on having all of the skills, she seems to be well on her way :)

I don't know whether to be impressed or shake my head! My daughter went to cheer gym tonight with some friends, and she did round off back handspring back tuck on the floor. Multiple times. She is ecstatic with herself, and I hate to squash her joy. I am impressed that she is brave enough to...

My 9 year old sister is competing level 6 T&T right now. At her first 2 meets she didn't do so well - she didn't throw her back tuck at the end of her pass at one meet and at the other there were no falls of anything but she didn't get on the podium and came in next to last a lot. She was...

One of my students got her kip yesterday! It's been a year ordeal, but she finally got up and did it three times in a row. Yeah, I know big deal, but she is my first student to get her kip and I'm really excited about it. Hooray Emily!

I have watched these videos back to back and I simply can't believe it is the same kid. Most parents don't understand, but I figured you would all appreciate these and understand how proud I am of my kid!! This one is from his first meet. 2 days after his 6th birthday. I know most coaches...

Week after states so it's that "fun" period of the year. DD had a pretty nice week. She is landing her full cleanly on the floor. She also started flipping her tsuk into the pit and she actually lands feet first rather than face first! Liked it so much she asked her HC if she can do a tsuk...

Now I can breath. Wow! I was a nervous wreck. I tried so hard to keep it to myself and not let it rub off my dd. for being it her first state, I think she did excellent. Not her best scoring but she came home with 3rd on bars, 1st on vault and 2nd all around. There was at least 25 gyms, and 29...

Dd just had her personal best meet scoring a 36.175 all around with personal best scores on floor vault and bars and won AA! Thanks for letting me brag!

Today was my first time vaulting in 18 months since I injured my ankle and while I'm a little sore from it (and trying a little tumbling, I made a front handspring, layout, layout too) I couldn't be more excited! I'm missing the last season I could compete in JO, but I'm still happy. If anyone...

My 7 year dd has had a chin up bar for 2 weeks to build up strength as she couldn't do a pull up, we started with spotted pullups and chin up holds and just letting her hang on the bar. Dd has gradually built up enough strength to hold a chin up with bent legs for 12 seconds (no pulling up as we...

I got my kip today at practice. I made three in a row and one when my mom picked me up. The first two were with straight arms! I am so happy:)!

DD won 1st place All Around at Sectionals today. She got her usual scores with a PB on Floor. It helped that they split her age group into A & B. Plus all her teammates qualified for State. Woohoo!

My dd has been busting her little tail at practice, and we had a private this morning. She got the ROBHS and her beam dismount!She needs to fix her form, but she got the mechanics down! So proud of my girl! Last night at practice, she finally made it over the vault too! I wanted to add videos...

Well, tonight as I was picking up my 9 year old DD from practice, she comes out and proudly announces, "I crotched the beam after my split leap! See, I am getting braver." So, I gave her a high five and said, "Good job!" The beam has been her nemesis since pre-team. She has been afraid of the...

So my intermediate tumbling class dared me to do a RO BHS layout tonight. I am in my 30's and have not done that since high school. I am proud to say I pulled it off! A pretty nice one at that! The kids flipped, but the best part is parent reactions;) I have a feeling I won't be able to move a...

I took on the L4 team at my gym in the middle of summer. They were quite a mess. I just wanted to brag and say that I brought the team from having 4 of 9 girls able to handspring vault without a spot, to my whole team vautling! Im so proud of them! What successes have you had recently?

My son did great at his Future Stars regional testing yesterday. He placed 2nd in the region and qualified to the National Testing. So happy for him!!

Well, we , in our family, tend to be quite demonstrative people, very happy, very sad types. Pink and Fluffy is that in spades, and also suffers from terminal self-doubt. So we had a pretty miserable performance at Sapphire, and I thought we would be far away from her "happy Place". Sunday...

My DS just started back at gym last week after having been off for the last month and a half and switching gyms he has finally conquered those evil mushroom circles! He did 2 on Tuesday at practice!! He is so proud of himself as he struggled all last season with them.
