I am so sorry you are going through this! We recently went through something similar....my daughter left her previous gym in December, but is friends with and speaks with a few of the gymnasts still there. Just a few weeks ago, some of the girls still there told my daughter that the head coach...

I will send the video in a message Sarah_the_Gymnast, if I can figure out how haha!! Thanks so much GymCMLA...she's having a really difficult time seeing past the hard parts of gymnastics and is questioning whether it's all worth it. I'm hoping that positive feedback from her routines might...

Would someone be willing to judge my daughter's level 8 floor, bars and vault? She recently had a mock meet, but we don't receive any feedback. She's extremely nervous about this season and I was thinking if she knew about what to expect sore wise, it might help....thanks!!

I second the Southlake Gymnastics idea. I'm not sure where in the Metroplex you are, but you may also want to try ASI, US Gold, Gym Plus. I'm sure there are other options depending on your location.

Great job!!

Roll Tide!!

We live near the Ft. Worth area and were fortunate enough to attend the championships this weekend. It was an amazing experience! We've been to college meets before, but to see so many different teams competing pretty neat. There was so much going on at times that we didn't know what or who to...

@Midwestmommy and @duyetanh LOVED this advice, especially the blowing raspberries and the eating chocolate LOL...thanks so much!! It's crazy that we would not allow our DDs to act the way some of these parents behave! I've taken a few days to think about it and I think one of the things that...

My DD had the same issue!! She just completed Level 6 and ended the season doing a front walkover, front handspring, roundoff. Scored a 9.85 on floor at State, so turned out to be the best option for her. I believe I remember the coach telling me they just have to have 3 skills connected.

Doing my best to ignore :)

Thank you all for the responses. While I don't want to get involved with drama, I am more the "hey, heard you had a problem with me, let's talk about it" kind of person. I don't like gossip and would rather just confront something head on. That was my line of thinking in asking if I should talk...

I would like to first say that I would go to extraordinary links not to be a crazy gym mom, so I need someone to talk me off the ledge if need be :). My DD (9 year old level 6) has recently been going through fear/vestibular issues. I recently over heard two moms from our gym talking, one is...

@profmom That's what I was thinking about the counseling also!! Would like to give her the opportunity to learn a few positive tools to deal with true fear (not vestibular) issues in the future. We will continue playing the patience/waiting game :) I see her frustration and can see how very...

@dunno Thank you for your insight!! Totally makes sense that her previous incident stemmed from vestibular issues. Two years ago when this all began, I read through all of the information you have posted; however, I am definitely going to go back through and read it again. Unfortunately she was...

Thank you! We have not even talked about what level she may or may not be next year, but I will definitely make sure she knows whatever happens is totally fine with us!! I'm definitely not worried about the level so much as that old fear re-surfacing. Or should I say that old way she dealt with...
