daughter

After some good advice from others on this forum, my daughter will be switching gyms. She is finishing out her current season and will switch to her new gym in a few months when the new gym starts their new season. How far in advance would be common courtesy to let her current gym know she is...

My daughter is in her second year at level 4. She just competed in her 1st meet this year and made a terrible overall score. Her coach told me she was doing great at practice and she was sure she woukd make state and mobilize this season. Our gym practices 3 days a week. No extra practice in the...

I will admit up front that I realize that I am "that mom" that you never thought you would be. I feel horrible about it. Please, I'd like supportive advice, not bashing. My daughter graduated high school last year as a L10. She was known as the comeback kid. She suffered through more than...

My daughter competed level 3 last year. She had a rough start due to a confidence issue with her round off back handspring on floor. But she overcame and ended up placing second in the all around at south state. Our gym trains up - so at the end of last season she had her level 4 skills and was...

Hi all, My daughter is five and was chosen to be part of her clubs mini competitive squad last October (2018). The commitment is twice weekly training sessions. She has recently been offered a place in rainbows having already delayed acceptance due to it taking place same day as one of her...

Saw this article from USA Volleyball but thought it had some relevant points for gymnastics. While the two sports are obviously different, I like the idea of talking about performance as it relates to nutrition. I'm pretty sensitive about not talking too much about this stuff b/c I don't want to...

Hi all, Would just appreciate your thoughts and feedback. My dd is 14 (just turned this year) and will be starting high school in the fall. She had several injuries last year (fractured ankle, fractured knee, sprained ankle, sprained toe, and constant back pain- doctor says a ring around her...

Hello out there. Does anyone have more or less a guide as to what level with new rules(based on ages) that our gymnast should be within a certain age range. For example; Should an 9 year old on average be right around level 4-5? What about a 10 year old; what average level should they aim to be...

My son (9) just got home from his four hour practice. Me: How was practice? DS: It was good. We had fun. Me: What did you do? DS: Stuff. My coach got married today (I had no idea this was happening) so we had Lou coach us. Me: Who is Lou? DS: Oh, he coaches us sometimes. Lou is nice. (never...

My daughter has been at her gym for 8 years, she adores the gym owner and her teammates but the lack of coaching and motivation has become an issue. She is level 6 - yet again this year. Looking for help with a difficult conversation. The coach is quite passive aggressive to the group, tells...

Hello fellow Gymnastics parents! I’m posting this thread to get your thoughts on the topic. My daughter is 9, and and has been in JO gymnastics for the past 3 years. She has progressively gotten better, and has placed 1st-3rd AA for the last 2 competitive seasons. We live in a small community...

Two years ago my daughter switched from JO 4 to T&T. She's done well, but this year's been a bit of a struggle. Losing a coach right before nationals, who honestly checked out a long time before that. Girl drama over the summer with gym friends. She's qualified for nationals both years, and...

Our 15-year-old has been working as a youth tumbling instructor this spring. Her only attire requirement is to wear a top with the gym's logo on it which, so far, has been a crop top. And she chooses not to take out her belly-button ring. That terrifies me. One of DD's teammates ripped out her...

So, this is a weird sport. We've been around it for a while and I tend to be a sponge and soak everything up without saying much. When I have concerns, I address them with the coach; otherwise, I just sit back and watch. I frequent CB, though mostly as a troll reading through other people's...

My daughter who is 9 had a fractured arm last season and that and a few other factors has led to her having to repeat her (Canadian) Level 2 this year. She is really down about it and feels like her coaches are disappointed even though the head coach had a chat with her about it not being a bad...

My daughter started Gymnastics nearly 2 years ago in recreational and was asked if she'd like to join the artistic squad 6 months later - she seems naturally flexible and completely obsessed! Her coach took me aside recently and said she's really talented and was forming an elite group within...

My daughter is 6, on the level 2 team. A couple of months ago, I heard about the nickname that my daughter's coach gave to her. She didn't seem phased by it at first, and she didn't say much about it. Its a nickname that could be perceived as cute in an offbeat sort of way I guess, and the coach...

My daughter was injured on high bar in December with broken bones in left forearm and fracture in right elbow.She started back in gymnastics in May and has decided she's done competing.She was getting skills back but was not enjoying it like before.Ill be honest I'm sad she's ending her time...
