Most of the large meets held in AZ are in venues where social distancing is completely achievable. If you do a basic google search and look at videos that others have posted from years past of the VOS meet - you can see the venue is spacious. Often the meets held at this venue (Rawhide Western...
My 12DD retired today she would have been a training L10. It was a mixture of reasons - mostly she was having exertional syncope episodes with one that warranted an ER visit earlier this week another no long the desire to continue training. Being out of gym for two and a half months sealed her...
Ditto about the private lesson/group workout if offered.
I never thought we would ever own such a device but honestly glad we purchased an air track last week.
It's a crappy situation all around and we can go back & forth about which gyms are bending the rules. I think at this point its better to accept that yes there's kids still getting an hour or more workout in secret each week then to keep dwelling on it. Is it right no - will it actually give...
This past summer I battled early stage breast cancer that caused me to put my gymnast and her younger sister into public schooling to give myself a break after having home schooled for almost a decade. So now with schools closed as well gym - my girls aren't phased and are easily settling into...
My DD's gym here in AZ closed after today's workout. Honestly if my DD is rusty coming back in a few weeks from not doing any sorts of gymnastic skills on gym equipment so be it - We are humble to have our health and to be able to bunker down over the next few weeks.
We even joked if she does a...
As fun to dream of having my daughter compete for her father's home country, Romania - it's a flat out no. The financial burden of the logistics such as coaching, medical, facility to train in, and travel to politics within the country is a big deterrent. Currently we are dealing with a...
Sometimes even talented kids need to take a step back before moving forward with their training. Nothing wrong with a BWO BWO series in L6 it will lay the foundation for a great connected beam series later on!
Some of my daughter's events this year are below SV because its more important to...
Maybe it would be better to step back from upgrades at the moment and focus on the performing aspect of L6 like others have mention above. No reason to rush L7/8.
My DD who is a second year L9 is struggling with confidence on beam that reared its ugly head last season from too much up training...
I'm excited to watch my daughter enjoy her sport after changing gyms 9 months ago as well no longer training HOPEs. This past season felt more rushed than anything with trying to attempt HOPEs while competing L9. While some kids can handle both mine definitely couldn't and that's okay. My...
Glad to hear Gymmamabear that you will consider the gym switch.
I waited for my L9DD to make the decision this past Spring; looking back she wished I would have pulled her out sooner. It was hard with being 11yrs at the time to have a voice while wanting to please the previous coaches. Deep...
Not ribs here but my DD use to have loud popping/clicking noises with her hyper-moble shoulders until she developed more muscle around the shoulder joints.
I concur L9 bars is when it gets real. Not sure about the start value with not having an overshoot in the routine.
This will be my DD's second season of L9; she'll have a lower start value than she did this previous season due to a gym switch (a very welcomed change).
She's been unable to...
