i thought it might be fun to start a thread so we can share our gymnasts year long progress and hopes for next year.
Youngest dd
Dd is now 8 and has been in her development group nearly 1 year and has been training twice a week for 8 months, she has become stronger, faster and more flexible during that time, has learnt a few new skills along the way such as
Straddle Undershoot dismount
Back hip circle
Handstand flatback on high crash mats
Front hand spring on trampoline
Front tuck on fast track
Round off back handspring with a light spot on fast track
Cartwheel on the high fat beam
Dd has her first competition this Sunday, her first Christmas festival display and the another display in another gym in January, she will be doing the new grades for the first time next year.
Dd has also become more social with her team mates and coach and is not longer as shy as she was.
Hopes for next year
Back handspring without spot
Giant on strap bar (she is really close)
I hope she continues to enjoy gymnastics and do well in grades.
Oldest dd..
What a year it has been for her, first year in competitive gymnastics. Dd has been to quite a few comps and has gotten quite a few medals, passed her grades with a distinction, took part in the launch of the Special Olympics for her county and helped carry the flag. Dd has signed up for the a British Gynastics Young leadership program and has begun to work on aspects such has mock planning and assisting her coach, dd got asked along with her older team mate to go along to the National Squad trials (disability), unfortunatly this got cancelled due to updates and changes being made to the disipline, she is still working towards elements for it in prep for next year. Dd is also doing the same Christmas display as her youngest sister (on her birthday).
Next year
I hope she continues to enjoy gymnastics and her leadership program, do well in her grades and maybe pick up a few more medals in her future comps.
