daughter

My daughter is ten. She's been doing gymnastics for the past 7 months (rec levels). She wants to live at the gym. We started with one rec class and now I've put her in three and she's forever "practicing" at home. She'll even do push ups and sit ups on her own because she's seen the competitive...

Hi all, I am hoping to help a good friend with a decision. Disclaimer: This is a question for a friend who does not live in the same region, I think they are region 3 but not sure. Here is a little background first. My friends dd is a year older than mine, almost to the day, so she just...

My daughter had a great floor routine choreographed last year, at great expense when she was in level 7, our floor coach at the time had made the decision that all optional routines would only have 2 tumbling passes, so that's how it was choreographed. My daughter had to have surgery before the...

How could I make my daughter interested in gymnastics?

DD loves gym, breaks down at the thought quitting but is terrified of a couple of coaches at our gym. She just can't get past the door. I'm at a loss

Hi im new to the forum my daughter is 4 in a few weeks and has shown an interest in gymnastics. She also wants to do ballet. She's 95 cm and 7.17 kg and i feel her size would be more suited to gymnastics. Does anyone here have a child do both does it become a problem at all. Also any advice on...

hi all! I am new here :) My daughter just turned six, will be starting kindergarten in a few weeks (summer baby). We just recently switched from a high profile gym to a much smaller and more inclusive gym. DD is close on a bunch of level 2 skills but doesn't have them quite yet. The new gym is...

My daughter has been competing in gymnastics for the last three seasons and she is 10. At the end of last season we moved to a different gym. Her prior gym only trained the daughter of one of the other coaches and gave no feedback or training to the rest of the girls. They would talk while the...

My 9 year old DD is a very quiet and hard to get to know type of personality. It takes a little for her to open up for her to show her true personality. She just finished up level 5 and is the youngest in her training group by 2 years. Today in class for the last 15 min. they were having...

Just curious if any other parents might be staying in the area while their daughters attend camp at Karolyis' Camp in Houston June 28 - July 3? I figured there might be other out-of-state folks interested in getting together - or even sharing hotel or car rental? Just going out for dinner or...

Just curious if any other parents might be staying in the area while their daughters attend camp at UA June 15-18. The session is full, so I figured there might be other out-of-state folks interested in getting together - or even sharing hotel or car rental? Just going out for dinner or...

I posted something on Facebook about dd's first meet of the season last weekend. One mom I know asked this question. I started writing and I think my response came out pretty nice so I wanted to share. I wanted to hear what other people say when they get asked the same thing? "Thanks for the...

I recently posted a thread here however it has disappeared so am re-posting. Background:- My daughter is 10yrs old turning 11 this year. She is currently in Level 3 and has been in that level for 3 years. She has been training at 17hrs a week for 1.5yrs. She competed in her first regional comp...

My 7 year old daughter has bent legs in vault, bars, and beam. She is xcel bronze, 2nd year competing. Last year she competed level 2 but only one competition. Her coach told her she is going to get big deductions for them. She is an overachiever and tries so hard to get it but I honestly don't...

Hi all, My daughter who is 9-1/2 years old and in 4th Grade, just started level 4 competitive team this september, but the team classes are 3.5 hours long - 3 times a week (MWF). I'm a single parent and work full time and so on the days i have her, I rush to pick her up and if she does not get...

My 12 year old daughter (level 8 last season) joined our current gym a year and a half ago. They put her in the "special" group since she has a lot of talent and potential and did well in previous seasons. She did well, but not fantastic last season (placed at states but missed making...

I've posted on here before about my 12 year old daughter and her hand surgeries . She's a level 9 and we were told about a year ago that she had mild gymnast wrist syndrome. After 2 hand surgeries for a different problem , she was finally released to start training and her wrist were hurting bad...

My mother is pushy with my daughter about gymnastics. She watched a demonstration they did recently, and after it kept trying to tell her how to kick, point your toes, come over here and show me how you do it right. This kind of thing happens all the time, like after a meet or whenever my...

My daughter, who has been in rec classes for 10 months, was asked to join the level 3 team. We're all very excited, and she starts next week. The schedule, though, is 4:30-7:30 two nights a week, and 5:00-8:00 a third night. We eat dinner on at 6:15pm, on the dot, all together, so this will be...

So we are checking out new gyms this summer. Currently my daughter is 4 but her current gym has her working with girls who are 5-7 years old because DD has mastered the skills and because there is no pre team or anything to put her into. When I call gyms, they offer to have her try a class...
