    "The Ninja Challenge will be an invitation-only event for USA Gymnastics athlete members from top selling clubs in the ticket sales program for the event in the respective city. The selected clubs will be invited to send a designated number of gymnasts to try out the course." That is so...

    Simone Biles new floor routine

    Agree that I was expecting more of a wow factor. But it has music that is "clappable" and Rio-ish and I imagine it will be insane to watch once she gets more familiar with it and is in front of a sold-out crowd.

    WAG Let's play fantasy gymnastics!

    I thought this thread was going to be about picking girls for the PanAm games and then playing fantasy gymnastics like fantasy football. I'd totally be in for that!

    WAG Scoring help

    We're at a meet. A girl does what looks like an impressive routine. Get's a lower score than some less impressive seeming routines. Parents are surprised. A girl in a higher level looks at the video and shows us where she had a major form deduction. So it didn't matter that it seemed like...

    WAG Gym Policy on Canceling Practice

    As I've said, DD is happy to have a day off and I have no issues with it. I guess it affects our family differently because we both work, so if practice is cancelled, I have to arrange (on short notice!) and pay for some other childcare option.

    WAG Gym Policy on Canceling Practice

    I am curious your gym's policy on canceling team practice. We have practice cancelled multiple times a month during both fall and spring seasons, for reasons such as because the coaches have to be at another meet on a Friday, our gym is hosting a meet and they need to set up, the coaches are...

    WAG Maroney video

    It's interesting to watch the episodes on Sydney Johnson-Scharpf on FloGymnastics (or whatever they are now called). I know nothing about that gym and I'm glad Sydney reached her dream of the National Team, but the relationship of mother/ daughter/ coach/ athlete in pushing through injury was...

    Parents Another what do you tell your gymnast thread

    I am surprised by these answers because it almost seemed to me like a trick question! Certainly with all the emotion right after a meet, when she thinks she did good, I would never take that moment to tell her I didn't think her flippy thing she is so excited about was bad. Maybe she's been...

    Parents Probability of scholarships.

    I think the idea is that if you have a 7 or 8YO and you are justifying the cost of gym by counting on a full gymnastics scholarship, that is as crazy as if you spent the gymnastics $ on lottery tickets for the next ten years and counted on a win paying for college. The scholarship may be...

    Parents how much is too much?

    I agree with @AgingHippie. Sounds just like my DD at that age. She really wanted to get her tick tock!! Plus I think she really just wanted to show off to me what she learned. I worried about the back thing but just make sure she doesn't do too much. For example, support her to do 15...
