    Parents Femoral anterversion & external tibial torsion

    Hello there, Just curious if anyone out there has any experience or suggestions for a 8 year old gymnast with femoral anterversion and external tibial torsion. My dd has longggg term goals for this sport but she was just officially diagnosed with this anatomy. In laymen’s terms, it means her...

    WAG 2022 TOPs testing

    When you say “fully tanked” are you saying it’s over and not going to be around much longer?

    WAG 2022 TOPs testing

    Please excuse my ignorance……I believe you all are discussing how no one knows what is going on with testing and dates for the CURRENT year. BUUUUTTTTTT……. Do we know when the NEW season would start? I see we are currently in the 22/23 season, so if your kid was just invited would I be safe in...

    Parents No power!

    This was my next question. How do we know for sure what a kids physical abilities are so young? I get the impression her coach thinks she’ll never have the power. I asked what she could do to help increase power and she said nothing. They already do plyo in gym. I’m no gymnast but I do know...

    Parents No power!

    Wow! That is a big difference. I see that both comments on this post are from coaches. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. Do you recommend waiting until she is older for this kind of training or earlier the better? Obviously she has big plans for her gymnastics career (like every...

    Parents No power!

    Hello! I’m just curious if there is anything a gymnast can do to gain power or is this only something you’re born with? My dd has flat feet and a bit knock kneed so it effects her running which in turn effects her jumping. She is only 7 and pretty strong and flexible. The other day she was...

    WAG Coaches, what do you think of parents that watch the entire practice?

    Such a great point! My daughter is 8 and still wants me to watch her. One day I’m sure that will stop, so in the meantime I’m gonna soak it up! Xoxo

    WAG Coaches, what do you think of parents that watch the entire practice?

    Hi there! I am a gym mom too. I stayed for DD’s rec classes but when she was invited on to team I left. However, it really depends on the situation. We had a problem with some of the girls on the team for a few months. I stayed at every practice and watched like a hawk. Once the problem was...

    Parents Is XCEL a waste of time?

    Perfect!! I think this is exactly what our gym is doing. We do have optionals at our gym and they are doing very well. They have gymnasts up to level 10, which I am assuming is as high as it goes before college. This was very helpful. Thank you for posting. I don’t know if my kid will really...
