Introduction

Hi everyone!
I am new here and want to learn more about competitive gymnastics. My 6 yr. old daughter is competing level 4 this year and will have her first competition in Sept. Needless to say, I am a bit nervous- I did not take gymnastics as a kid and have no idea what to expect. I am really glad to find this forum!

Welcome to the CB. Lots of great info here. My daughter (frequently referred to as DD- darling daughter) competed her 1st year of level 4 as a 6 year old and I was the same. Hope she has fun this year and has a great experience with the introduction to competing!!

Welcome! I also have a 6 year old DD who will be competing L4 this season, if she can get all her skills!

Thanks for the welcome! Look forward to learning more about gymnastics. My DD has really made progress this summer. At the beginning of the summer, I was wondering if she could possibly be ready for this. She's really excited about competing this fall.

New mom too

Hi...I'm new to this group...

I have a 4.5 year-old dd who has had 3 sessions and 2 weeks of summer camp. We've been told by the club coaches that she is good. The club wants to put her on a pre-team when she is 5. We're not a gymnastics family or really even an athletic family. I joined this group to learn more about gymnastics and the culture of this sport.

Any words of wisdom from those moms who have been there?

Thanks,
Julie

Hi, I'm a mum from New Zealand, my DD is 7 and just competed level 1. I'm amazed how all the kids over there are doing level 4 at only 5 or 6 years old! Here in NZ the kids tend to be a little older in the levels. When my DD was 4 she did pre-school gym and I can't imagine her at that age doing proper gymnastics skills. I'm hoping to learn a lot here too.

Welcome! I have a 7 year old that will be competing level 4 in the spring. It's so exciting to watch the little ones progress. Enjoy it!
