I can understand how there are delays, especially right now; but I'd also consider looking at some other gyms.

OMG. Yes. My DD sprained her big toe in December. I think that she will be scratching her meet next weekend. It won't heal. It seems like such a minor injury but it won't get better. No advice since we can't get past it. She has done a boot, chiropractor, laser therapy, rest...

Several years ago my DD did one L5 meet and then just competed 6. It is really common in R8. In fact our state meet had barely any L5s last year.

This is honestly really odd IMO. If they can't provide a coach for your child's level I'd be looking for a new gym. That being said, I'm not sure why corrections for boys would be different than for girls. My son has had many coaches who coache both girls and boys and has even had some great...

Try skids for beam. My son missed 7 months due to gymnast wrists/fractures in both wrists. It is fine to miss a season, just let her keep conditioning. But her coach has to respect the limitations and has to understand ntgat with the wrist history your DD will be wearing wrist supports.

I read your post to my DD and her eyes bugged out of her head. She said, "you just finish your routine. It isn't a big deal. Parents should never ask judges about scoring stuff at.a.meet". I'm sorry, but you come across as a sore loser and a CGM here. You shouldn't approach a judge about scores...

For my son, they do one travel meet per year and about 5 local (60 miles or closer). That is for the L7-L10 boys. For my DD they do 2 travel meets and I think 4 sixty mile or closer meets (L6+). For both, the lower levels do local.

Honestly, I'd probably tell he it is best to step down to doing the equivalent of US JO L10. I wouldn't go into debt and have her miss that much of her life for something that is unlikely to go anywhere. There are many girls in the US who start out elite track and then back off to do L10...

Ah crap, one of the coaches had mentioned to him about doing it, but I just looked at the requirements. He won't be old enough in real life, though is is per USAG competition age. ;) so I don't know what they will do. I guess fingers will have to be crossed that the other session finshes early...

They are trying to get that done asap. The way the schedule is set up they don't have anyone to work with the 6s for the start of warmups if he doesn't get it done.

I don't know much at all about gymnastcs in Australia and from what you describe, I'm not sure that i'd consider it worth my DD's time or my money to pursue elite, but there is definite value in continuing gymnastics even with no chance for elite. My kids don't have a shot at the Olympics or...

It has been!!! We know that you haven't booked yet, but do you have an idea yet? My son is Friday night, he is going to warm our L6s up at like 2:00 Friday because both of our coaches will be in sessions then. We will get there Wednesday. Currently the plan is to go to the Grand canyon...

We are doing mostly local (though there are some fairly large local ones) and Black Jack.

I'm sorry, that Leo is awful. My DD doesn't like her comp leo this year, but it isn't something to move gyms over. That Leo though, we'd be out the door the minute that they handed them out. I don't care how amazing the gym is supposed to be, my DD would never be willing to wear that even if I...

Definite look for an NAIGC club team that is a drivable distance from you. I bet it would be a great fit!
