Any suggestions for a Level 3 who is having trouble doing her handstand on the beam? she has beautiful form on the floor, but is scared to pieces up on that beam. she falls EVERY time when doing a full out handstand. The only way she can stick it, is for her to do a teeny tiny "baby"...

Blue and sky blue! That would be just beautiful

nope. no misunderstanding. he meant for the parents to clean the toilets.

our gym is very large and is the only gym in our town. we use iclassPro at our gym. it is simply amazing and the tech support is awesome. they have frequent updates to correct any problems that might be occuring with the software. it is very user friendly. highly recommend.

well... i was actually referring to the bathrooms at our gym. the gym equipment is cleaned and sterilized by the coaches at the end of each day. however....it has been suggested that we (management) ask some of the parents to clean the bathrooms in the lobby each time they come in for NOTHING...

Is it standard procedure for parents to be asked to clean the gym??

Just wondering how I can teach my daughter (she is a 6 yr old, level 3) to do a pike hold. I think it will help her with many of her skills because she could use some help in the strength area. Not sure where to start.

level 2 skills ok...thanks to everyone for their responses. What are the skills for Level 2 for all of the different rotations?

What are the differences between Level 2 and Non-Sanctioned Level 3? Our gym does not have a Level 2, only Non-Sanctioned Level 3. Another gym in a nearby city has a Level 2 team. Are the skills the same? Are the routines the same? Would they be competing together at the same meets? Oh...

my dd is doing right hand cartwheels but lefty handstands. she is level 3 and her coach told us that at the meets she has to stick to one side. the goal is to switch her handstand to righthand just like her cartwheels. i try to encourage her at home to practice and she does. but, when i...

My dd is 5 years old. She is very close to getting her round-off BHS on floor. She is currently on level 3 team and only practices skills that are actually in the level 3 routines. She was previously in a preschool class at the same gym where they spent a lot of time on round off BHS. She...
