    Parents Switching from USAIGC to NGA

    What exactly was the debacle with worlds? We quickly decided we wouldn't be going regardless of what decision USAIGC made, so I didn't really pay attention. Also, if you don't mind sharing, what is your daughter's gym?

    Parents Switching from USAIGC to NGA

    My daughter's gym has been USAIGC since she started team (at least 6 years), and it's been fine. But their (USAIGC) communication at the start of the pandemic was just awful (that is to say, almost non-existent). This basically left the member gyms hanging out to dry, and all they could say...

    Parents Random question about Svetlana Boginskaya's height :-)

    Thanks for all the great input! I've always thought that height was less of an obstacle in certain events (like beam), but on others like floor and vault it would be more of an issue (because more rotations, and physics). Also height is probably less of an issue in college gymnastics because...

    Parents Random question about Svetlana Boginskaya's height :-)

    While her wiki page and most references I can find online list Svetlana Boginskaya's height as 5' 2", I definitely remember her towering over the other gymnasts at the time (though I don't remember what year that may have been) and commentators talking about how tall she was for a gymnast at 5'...

    Tramplines OMG! I know this is a hot button topic that has been discussed ad-nausem, so I apologize for starting another thread. I'm wondering if any parents on this list have specific trampoline regrets that they would care to share. My DD has wanted a tramp since well before she became a...

    Parents Chances of going to USAIGC regionals

    So, this is the first year for our 10yo daughter on team. She's been doing gymnastics since age 8 and definitely has the strength and ability for it. We put off joining team sooner because of the time commitment and because she was enjoying doing gymnastics recreationally. But it just got to...

    Parents Advice for DIY bar at home

    Wow! I didn't realize how active this forum was. Thanks for all of the replies. Before posting, I did try searching for previous threads on this topic (figuring there probably would be some) but my searches were either too specific and turned up nothing matching, or were too broad and turned...

    Parents Advice for DIY bar at home

    Hello all, I'm new to this forum - parent of a new budding gymnast (7 years old, just started recently but loves it). On her wish list is to have a bar at home to practice on. I've browsed around amazon, but our ceilings are not high enough, nor do we have enough space to set up a bar indoors...
