gym mom

Hello everyone I am the mother of a 2nd year level seven gymnast. Found this site and thought it might be a good idea to join. My gymnast is 11 years old and has been competing for about 6 years. We are in Maryland Region 7.

Hi all, I'm new here. I am a full time student/wife/mommy. My DD will be 4 the end of may and she started gymnastics back in October. I was a gymnast way back in the day... late 80's early 90's and I'm loving watch my Emma run around the gym.

I found this site a few months ago and I love it! My daughter is 6 year old "K." She just moved to Level 5 team but will not compete until December when she has her 7th birthday and I am already nervous for it :o Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi everyone! I just found this site and absolutely love it, I have learned a lot already! My 3 year old DD is brand new to gymnastics. She asks to go every day, I think we are both obsessed already! I have loved gym since I was little, and I think DD got the bug from me. I have a million...

My daughter's coach recently offered her an opportunity to advance at a quicker pace by competing Prep Opt rather than Level 4. She is having her floor and beam routine choreographed this weekend, and we are very excited for this opportunity. This is the first time her gym has had a Prep Opt...

Hello, I'm Tanya, mom to 5 year old Finnegan who is just starting out in gymnastics. He took session of group tumbling classes and has now started private coaching in addition to the group class. He is loving every minute with coach Brad. He's training at a non-competitive gym. I'm here to...

My name is Sandy and we live in the Poconos of Pa. Taking a moment to say hello (Hello) to everyone. My daughter is 8 and has been in gymnastics for a year and a half. We were attending a small local gym and my daughter couldn't get enough of it. We tried an "open gym" at Parkettes in Allentown...

I'm brand new at the gymnastics stuff...well about 18 months of watching my 5 and 6 yo. So, how do I learn more. My 6 yo will probably be giving up gymnastics at the end of the school year. It's been great for his coordination but I think that's about it. On the other hand, my 5 yo loves...

**I found this post from someone (below in blue) on a cheerleading board asking about why some moms get all crazy in their cheer mom lifetimes. I got a kick out of it since my dd did cheer for several years and I thought that it was very relatable to gymnastics. Replace "cp" with "dd" and...

My daughter has been taking gymnastics since I started her in "mommy and me" classes when she was 10 months old. Now, she's a 7yr old, Level 4 competitive gymnastic who just started the TOPS program. We live in the Buffalo, NY area. My dh works for Microsoft and I am a SAHM. I'm so glad...

Hi, my name is Kristen. My 17 year old daughter is a level 10 gymnast and on this site (bribri514) and she convinced me to join. I started shuttling her to gymnastics when she was 3 and she fell in love with it. By the time her little sister joined, she was on pre-team and started level 4 when...

Hi, this is my first post to the CB. I am the mother of three girls, two of whom have been gymnasts for one year. My eight-year-old is in a developmental class, practicing L4, and my six-year-old is in the TumbleTots program at our local gym. Hopefully, the older girl will have the opportunity...

Hi, new to chalk bucket. My little gymnast is actually only three turning four in feb. she has been in a preschool gym program for the past year and today I was approached about her going to level one team next season. So I figured I better get up to speed on the sport as I was a soccer...

I've been lurking around this sight for tid bits of info for quite awhile. I know quite a bit about the in's and out's of bringing young girls up through the developmental levels of beginning through advanced competitive gymnastics, not to mention I've been there myself as a gymnast though...

Hi everyone! My name is Annie, I have been a lurker here for a long time, and finally got the guts to join!:p I have triplets aged 7 who are a level 5\6. They have been doing the sport since they were about 3. It is good to be here!:) Annie

Well, DD has been begging to do soccer for at least a year (she had played in a small indoor rec class when she was 4). We have finally caved in !! We found a rec league that is very laid back in a nearby town. She can still play in the games if she misses a practice and it is not a big deal...

I love being a gym mom. Taking the kids to the gym, coming back, cramming in homework while eating dinner. I love the craziness of getting ready and doing hair. See them march in on the floor. Tell me, what is your favorite part of being a gym mom?
