My daughter (age 6) is very interested in competing eventually and I would love to see her go this route. She started gymnastics a little under 1 year ago and is still in level 1. Within a few weeks of starting she had perfected all of the skills to move up other than the pullover. We have been...

This could be weird. I was told by the coach today that my 4 year old is moving to level two class from her developmental team. she will be in class 2 days a week. They normally would move her to the next developmental team but they don't have enough kids. So this is what they are doing...

Ok I am pretty "green" when it comes to gymnastics. I have read on here about kids in "developmental" gym classe, and I have read about kids on pre team. My question is What is the difference? I know pre team at our gym starts at level 2/3. So that being said, what would be the developmental...

Hello, My name is Kate and I'm new to Chalk Bucket. I've coached gymnastics for over 17 years now on and off. I've led 2 level 6 gymnastics teams to placing 1st and 3rd in state meets and have worked with levels 4 through 9. Within the past year, I went back to coaching and am now coaching a few...

Did anyone attend and do you know the gymnasts' and their rankings? I am dying to know how the girls from the Classic fared against the rest.:D:eek::D:eek:

For those of you with girls in developmental classes for kids 5 and up, how many hours a week are you required to go and how much time is spent on each event in the class? Does your daughter do bars every class and for how long? Do they have a list of staple type skills they always work on...

Ordinarily I wouldn't be asking this as I am a developmental coach. However this is a specific case. I usually coach girls, this is for a grown man, an MMA fighter that expressed an interest in gym cross training. He got the idea from another fighter currently cross training and got workout...

My 6 year old will now be at the same gym as my 10 year old on the developmental team. While this might seem convenient it isn't going to be. It is a 25 minute drive each way and their schedules don't always overlap. Combine that with my 13 year old son really wanting to try gymnastics and I...

Hello! I have a five year old daughter that was asked to move to developmental team. I believe the plan is that she will compete Level 3 or 4 next year, depending on her development. I was a little hesitant to move her, although glad that they wanted her, because she will start school next...

Hi all, I am relatively new to the sport and started my twins in gymnastics around the age of 3. Its been a great program and a ton of fun. Every day my girls ask, if it is a gym day and I have seen tremendous development in the last year. They will turn 4 in a few weeks, and the coach...
