    Parents Big Gym or Little Gym

    I voted small, but would probably vote middle if that was an option. We aren’t a household name but we have 10 level 10s this year and send girls off to D1 schools most years.

    Women L6 side aerial on bram

    A cartwheel+cartwheel or backwalkover+backwalkover series are both allowed for 6. The requirement is a series OR flight. Most of our 6s do a bhs too, but there are lots of options!

    Men Wrist overuse injury

    I’m so sorry you are both dealing with this, my daughter missed the end of her 2024 season due to a broken arm, and then the entire 2025 season due to elbow surgery in her other arm. It was a rough year+ and to be honest she still isn’t fully where she needs to be as a sophomore level 10. The...

    Parents When did you “know”?

    My daughter will be competing level 10 for the first time this year (knock on wood), she should have competed 10 last year but got injured and had a major surgery that knocked her out for 6+ months. There was never really a moment for me, I honestly never thought she would make it this far...

    Gymnasts Not nice people in gymnastics

    I think we’ve been really lucky, there might be some girls/parents that are mildly annoying, but no one outright mean. The girls and families all support each other.

    Parents Mental block/growth spurt

    My daughter who is now a 15 year old level 10 went through a stage like this when she was a level 4, she just would freeze after her round off and not go for her bhs, luckily it happened after competition season. I didn’t make a big deal out of it and luckily her coaches didn’t either and she...

    Parents Body Image Struggles

    I have no words. That’s so far beyond what is appropriate for so many reasons. I’m sorry. I’m not sure I’d stay at that gym even if I was able to report them and have a good conversation about it. Beyond the coaches comments triggering an eating disorder, delayed puberty In general is bad for...

    Women Bra Under Comp Leos

    There’s no deduction anymore, luckily. Depending on where the mesh is a clear strap bra might not help. My daughter’s leotard this year has mesh at the top in a way that’s impossible for the actual bra part on the front not to show through. The leotard was obviously designed by a man… but the...

    Parents Team Sponsorship

    This is similar to what we offer, but it’s all done through the booster club. Likely what you’ve seen is all done through a non profit.

    Women Can i switch from excel gymnastics to JO?

    Yes you can switch, but obviously the first thing you’ll need to do is find a gym that offers DP (it’s not called JO anymore). Since you’re 12 your coaches can use videos to petition you to level 7. Timing isn’t great right now as teams have already registered for meets starting in January...
