Well after Monday daughter was really upset and frustrated not sure if she wanted to continue. She was having alot of tumbling issues on floor this year as a level 6, her heels hurt and she seemed to be very unhappy. She has a meet Sunday and wanted to go to see if she wanted to continue with...

During floor work, my daughters top of her foot hurt (right where the leg/top of foot is) Her one coach gave her an ice pack. While on beam I could see she was favoring it, but she still continued. I left the gym and came back to hear another coach yell, I'm not coach so and so, get that ice...

My daughter has been doing gymnastic since she is 3 years old. Now she is 13 and wants to quit. First since she is in level 8 she has been dealing with fears up and down, sometimes she gets quick out of the gym because she does not want to work on her skills. She is really good, especially at...

I never thought that I would have to entertain the possibility, but my daughter told me that she wanted to quit gymnastics. This was a few weeks ago and since then her coach has convinced her to finish this season, which would be her first level 10 season at the age of 14. But in spite of this...

Hello Chalk bucket friends! I wasn't sure which forum to post this in or if it would be allowed by the moderators. I will understand if it has to be removed or moved as it really has nothing to do with gymnastics but I hope you can help. My DD goes to a small catholic school (200 kids in the...

I have twin 9-year-old daughters. One does gymnastics and the other takes dance and art classes (because it would have made my life too easy if they had decided to do the same things). Well, today I got an email from Tory's dance teacher asking if she'd be willing to help with the 3/4 and...

My daughter is 7.5 years old and in level 4. She has had most of her level 4 skills for some time now, but not with good form. She has been doing her routines for 3 months with little to no improvement. I am so frustrated and don't know what to do. I have talked to her coach who says not to...

I posted in my introduction how my daughter's gym wanted her to compete a level 5 meet with less than 2 weeks to learn the routines. Everyone advised against it and I appreciate all the advice, but we went ahead and let her compete. It was at her gym and the coaches were willing to teach her...

So I am sure most every mom here would say this, but my daughter is a daredevil... heck that's why she likes gymnastics right? She's been training L5 since the beginning of the year and she has a meet coming up shortly as we compete a Spring and Fall/Winter season. She really wanted to compete...

Is my daughter ready to quit? Is she just mad, is this a little bump that she should be pushed through, or is it time to move on? She is almost 10-years-old. She just finished her level 6 season in November. At the end of the season she was very happy. The following month she spent enjoying...

My daughter (level 2) is still what the coach calls "pike" on her vault. Presently, she is landing on mats and I guess she cannot progress to full handspring (without the mats) until she is no longer pike. Can anyone help? Is there something that would help her? I appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

I need advice on helping my daughter learn to relax at competitions. She loves competing and absolutely lives for gymnastics. She is 15, a fun, cheerful, kind of goofy girl with a charming personality. However...at meets she becomes a different person. She is so serious. I think too serious. She...

Hello, My daughter is a level 5 gymnast and is very competitive; However our gym is a smaller gym and usually only competes in smaller meets. I would love to have our girls or my daughter go to some of the bigger meets so we could see some other gymnast from the state and out of state. Our...

Hi Parents, I am hoping for some words of advice. My daughter is 9 and is training level 6. She had all her skills before the season started but now she won't even attempt her back walkover on the beam (she says she "lost it"). Her coach and team are very supportive and patient, but she is...

I have one daughter who is competing level 4 and another who is currently on preteam. She wants to be on team... talks about wanting to compete and get the skills. But every practice for the last few months, she ends up crying about the conditioning. The times she's managed conditioning okay...

My daughter is competing in the I love ny cup in Jan. 2010. She wants to compete both USAG and USAIGC. USAIGC is what she definitely wants to do, but also wants to do USAG. This is her 1st year in USAG. Her coach says it's ok to do both, but says many girls pick 1 league to compete in. Should...
