    WAG Soreness after break

    I just had my first practice after a one month long vacation. I'm feeling soreness all over my body. I know it happens so just needed some advice - should I exercise again today (on my own - to get rid of soreness + evals soon) or rest?

    MAG Growth during break

    So my son is 14, turning 15 soon. Has not been to practice since mid March due to quarantine. He’s currently a Level 9. Since Jan, he’s probably grown 6 inches, so a major growth spurt. My question is, will this time off make it easier or harder to adapt, once training resumes? He will be...

    WAG Break and older L9/10's?

    Do you all speculate after being out of the gym 6 weeks or more (that seems to be the minimum we will be out) it will be hard for a lot of the older (meaning high school age) L9/10's to come back? I already hear from so many they are loving the break. It has to be really hard to come back to...

    Parents Break from injuries

    Just want to vent and see if others have experienced the same thing with their gymnie. I feel as if my DD (almost 11 years old, level 6-7) has one injury after another. In the last few years : sever's (sometimes one foot, sometimes the other or both feet at the same time) on and off for 3 years...

    WAG Feeling thankful for a pleasant gym "break up"

    The gym that we left 2&1/2 months ago is hosting a State meet and Puma Jr wanted to go to cheer on teammates (different level) old and new this morning. Though the old gym was great to me when we left, I was still at little nervous to actually see everyone. But they couldn't have been nicer...

    Parents Another After Break Question

    I was talking to my hubs about ways to help keep her arm safe while it finishes healing without a cast. The doc wants her moving and using as much as possible so no sling or ACE on it on a regular basis. But when she hits the gym tomorrow, does it sound ridiculous to put an ACE on it for a...

    Parents Gymnastics Break

    This is my first post and probably going to be quite lengthy. My daughter started gymnastics late at the age of 10. She has been in it for 3years now and has hit a wall with it. Maybe it's just age and puberty, I don't know. Everyone or most says it's a stage and phase they go through. Most say...

    Parents Gym break ups

    I decided to change gyms after this season. I didn't think the gym was a good fit for my DD in addition to the gym being far away. My DD was on team level 3. Levels 1-5 all were trained together with one coach. The gym is not small, they focus all their attention on the optional girls. The...

    WAG Mental block - take a break?

    Should my 10 year old level 7 take a break from gymnastics if she is having serious mental blocks across all events? Just wondering if a break would be best or if she should just keep trying to work through it.

    WAG Training times and break times - a survey

    I stink at coming up with titles, lol. I wanted to start this new thread off of the nutrition thread below. It seems like all our gymnasts have different lengths of trying and the break times vary also. This is kind of a survey for my own curiosity and to see what differences are out there...

    MAG Is it time for a break?

    Hopimg some of you may have some insight as to handle dealing with DS coach. DS is 11 and had a rough year as a L5 last year. His team lost their HC and this position has not been replaced- rather they just promoted our assistant coach who is all of 24 and still going to college. He was a great...

    Parents On a break

    My daughter hasn't been training bronze a month, and she is on a break. Her team practices 3 hours 3 times per week. I was worried the transition would be tough on her. She is getting 3 weeks off between the gym's summer shut down and just missing practice. Her coach said she is welcome back...

    WAG I need some help, I took a break from gymnastics, don't know how to get back in the swing of things

    Hey all. I have been a gymnast for 3 years, a few months ago I took a break to focus on school. I'm going back now, I still have my skills, yet how am I supposed to get back to the performance level of before... a few months isn't that bad, yet I use the vault horse and I don't know about my...

    WAG Taking a break..

    Well, 9yo DD wants to take a break from gym for the summer as shes having a difficult time adjusting with everything. Ill still check around on here and comment so I dont have my account deactivated. She thought we were all going to be mad at her, but I told her as long as she is happy then that...

    MAG He is taking a break.

    What a long road to this point. I must say I am somewhat relieved because he has been really complacent and lazy during practice. After many months of vacillating between commitment and giving up, he has chosen to take a little time off. To me it sounds like the end. And frankly, my son is...

    Parents Big Toe/Foot Possible Break?

    My Level 3 daughter just came home from practice and told me that she somehow slammed her big toe down on vault and that it really hurts. The pain is not really in her big toe though. When she bends it down, the pain is actually up the (in)side of her foot starting about 2 of my fingertips down...

    Parents Any overnight Winter break gymnatics camps?

    My daughter would love to attend an overnight gymnastics camp for winter break but I cannot find any. Thanks for your help.

    WAG Compound break - are straps dangerous?

    I heard this horror story: A boy did giants over the pit, lost tightness on top of the move, the straps kind of twisted and both his wrists broke. He hung there on the high bar, straps still on. This is horrible! I guess this is not common, but I actually asked myself many times - aren't...
