training

A friend of mine just started her daughter on pre-team this spring. They've changed the levels since my daughters were in it, but I'm guessing the group she's in is pre level 1 or maybe level 1, so very early on (our gym doesn't compete until Level 3 so this is a non competitive training team)...

I have a 10 year old daughter who is a level 5 gymnast. We will be traveling to France for three weeks to watch the women's World Cup Soccer tournament. My gymnast has an older sister that is a soccer player. While we are traveling we would like to allow my daughter the opportunity to train for...

im a gymnastic too

I'm wondering whether it's common to train at other gyms while on vacation. Some of my daughter's teammates have done this. How do you set this up with the other gym? Do coaches welcome gymnasts from other places? Do coaches appreciate that their gymnast is trying to continue their training...

I am curious to know what your gymnastics child wears to their training sessions :)? My 8yr old goes in her team uniform and pants and even her warm up jacket which she zips right up to the top.

So rather then have it get buried in the other thread. Not that threads wandering is a bad thing. But I see lots of "how many hours threads?". But I really don't recall seeing, "how many days?" called out. So because I'm curious. How many days do your gymmies typically do? Around here most...

Looking for resource recommendations for mental toughness training for my 16 year old. She has historically been mentally tough at meets and placed extremely well. The last few meets have been tough. She looks fearful, not aggressive and is commenting that she is extremely nervous and feels...

Hey all. I have a new L7 (about to turn 11 yo) dealing with backwards tumbling block for a while and is finally starting to see some forward progress over the last month, but still has been unable to fully compete her floor routine this year. I think with the added pressure (mostly from...

Everyone here was so helpful when I was asking in reference to a gym for my boys, I thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions for some problems at my daughter’s gym...my DD just turned 10, and is currently in Xcel Gold. Her gym does not do compulsories, only AAU or Xcel, then into level...

https://www.instagram.com/kbodie3/ Saw this on another site and was impressed enough to share with you. Krystal Bodenschatz ( formerly Uzelac) was an elite in the late 90s, early 2000s. She is training a double pike off beam, a double layout dismount on bars , a 2.5 twist on floor (onto a...

Sorry if this has been posted about before, but I just wanted people to know that Safesport offers a free online “training” for parents. You do not access the free parent version at Safesport but rather here: https://athletesafety.org/training/index I just did it, and while I think the sections...

How many hours do the level 6/7s train at your gym? I feel like our gym has high training hours for compulsories but then they are on the low end for the beginning of optionals. Thanks!

anyone watching podium training?

Would love to get some feedback. DD just finished her first year of serious gymnastics, she's in L3 right now and is just turning 8 later this month and will be participating in competitions this year for the first time. She has been identified by the owner and coaches of the gym with loads of...

Hi all! I am an Australian who is training WAG 5/6 (Australian levels). In January my family and I are travelling to Europe. I am hoping to be able to not lose all my skills and strength, as when I get back there are only a few months until I will compete. Does anyone know of any gyms in London...

Hi! I’m new to this forum. My daughter is a new level 4 gymnast, she will be 9 in November. Her gym is small and her coach believes less is more with hours spent training. She was moved to the level 8 training team a few months ago. She spends 12 hours training one week and 6 the next..averaging...
