    Should I quit?

    I’ve been going to cheer tumble classes for an hour a week for about 3.5 months. Additionally, I’ve been going to privates for 30 minutes on sundays about 2 weeks ago. I’m still working on kickovers, and I keep losing them. Is this normal?

    Parents How to know when to let her quit

    This is long...I'm sorry...trying to process. My daughter has been doing gymnastics since she was 3, team since 5 (she is almost 10 now) She has said many times over the last couple years that she wanted to quit and we've had her stick through the season and she usually changed her mind. At...

    WAG Quitting.

    I’m a senior in high school and a level 8 right now, but i’m taking a gap year next year and planning on college the year after. The plan was to do gymnastics all the way through that gap year. Now though, I’ve been in a rut for months. It’s gotten to the point where I’m dreading practice, and...

    WAG Quitting gymnastics?

    Hi! I'm a 15 year old gymnast. We don't use the same level system as in US, but I'm about a level 5 gymnast. I've been doing gymnastics from when I was 6, but only started competing a while ago. Since that I've been through many injuries (ankle sprain, muscle sprains, shoulder overuse, elbow...

    Parents Dd quitting

    After 5 years training 20+ hours a week my 12 year old didn't want to go to training today, burst into tears and said she wanted to stop. I always knew this day would come but have to admit to feeling really sad. She's had more than her fair share of injuries but has always fought back & is...

    WAG Quitting Gymnastics to do Pole vaulting ? :(

    I am thinking about making a difficult decision. Let me give you the background. I'm a freshman in high school. I do xcel gymnastics. I love it, and I could compete level 7-8 if I were in JO. I placed 2nd all around in region 6 as platinum. But there is no way that I could do this for college...

    WAG Gymnast who doesn't really like gymnastics but refuses to quit

    Hello Chalkbucket, it's been a while. Ok, so, my daughter is now 11 and in xcel. I say she doesn't really like gymnastics because she isn't that kid that cartwheels around the house or sees a large grassy field as an irresistible tumbling area. She will occasionally flip around a bit on the...

    Parents Help! DD lost mojo but doesn't want to quit

    Hi! My daughter is 11 and moving from a UK junior team to a senior team - we have just trialed for new club (compete lower levels) as her coach is good but not encouraging and she thought she wanted a change, having spoken to her the other day I am now completely at a loss as what do as lately...

    Parents Quitting

    I have learned so much from this site. This is my first time posting. DD (just turned 9) who just completed level 4 has decided to quit. She decided this right after she learned she would have to do another year at level 4. I think she is upset and not thinking about the real consequences...

    Parents For when it's time to quit

    I ran across this and found it a good read. Sometimes the best thing is to fight tooth and nail for what you want, but sometimes the best thing is really to just walk away with head held high. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/06/02/well/family/knowing-when-to-quit.html?referer=http://m.facebook.com

    Parents Advice on quitting because of lack of coaching

    Hello all! I need some advice for my 8 year old son. We live in a small town with only one gym 30 minutes from our home. He has been in gymnastics and on the team for 2 years and he loves it but there have been so many coaching problems. It's hard to find a good boys coach. We had a good one...

    Should I quit?

    I've been in gymnastics for about 8 years. I'm a level 7 and I usually train about 20 hours a week. The thing is, I've been having to miss a lot of practices because of school and family related things. I just don't know if I should just quit or not. I've been getting a lot of opinions from the...

    Parents Quitting?

    My 8 yr old dd has been at one gym for about 4 years. This is her third year on team. She has generally loved going to the gym and lamented not going on days off. Her coach has been very tough and often grouchy (meaning a lot of yelling, sarcasm, and negative talk), but she enjoyed what she...

    Is it worth it to quit gymnastics?

    I am a senior in high school and I have been doing gymnastics since i was 3. As a little girl I absolutely loved it, but now I don t feel that same passion. I am tired, my body hurts, and i am beyond stressed. Gymnastics has gotten scary for me. Gone are the days when i could do skills without...

    Parents Wants to quit because of coach

    My daughter is 7 and on pre-team. She has been with the same coach for the last 2 years, who has been great for her. She challenges the kids, has high standards, and keeps gym fun. But now she has been on extended leave for the last few weeks, and I think it will be another couple of months...

    Parents New Level 9 wants to quit

    DD (13, almost 14) just became a L9 and the season is starting. She was on fire during the summer and got all of her L9 skills. All of a sudden she started losing them one by one (she had a bad fall, so I think that was the starter). Now she says she doesn't want to do college gymnastics and...
