    Parents Looking for new floor music

    My daughter got her music from http://floorexpressmusic.com. We must have listened to over 100 tracks before she choose her music. There is a good variety on the site. Hope this helps!

    Parents Meet leo stinks - help!

    Happened to my daughter's once. I turned it inside out, laid it on towel on the driveway in the sun. I covered the rest of the leo with towels because I was worried about discoloration. Left the armpit area exposed for aboutique 3-4 hours. Of course that was in May when ithe was warm here....

    WAG Disturbing article (IndyStar Article on USA Gymnastics Enabling Sexual Abuse)

    It may very well be that some of the parents were unaware. Victims will not always tell their parents for fear of upsetting them. The most upsetting piece of this story is about Bill McCabe. In writing gym owners begged USAG to stop him from coaching children. To me they knew his history and did...

    Parents Where do you buy your practice leos?

    We've ordered through leotardcity.com. My DD likes things simple, not a lot of stitching or bling. One size up from GK. They wash well. I hang dry. Free shipping over $50 (usually 2 leos). DD does not like their shorts for practice though. Different cut than GK.

    Parents Asthmatic gymnasts-success stories?

    My DD has allergy related asthma. Working closely with her doctor has helped incredibly. Also, we've taught her to take care of any symptoms immediately. We have run into issues when she tries to wait before using her inhaler. Communication with the coach is key. Also she drinks a lot of water...

    Parents Searching for a new gym

    I should also add that the exodus of her friends & teammates was emotionally tough for her. She spent a lot of time with these girls and was suddenly solo. So I guess there were many factors that converged at once.

    Parents Searching for a new gym

    No offense taken. She was given a few options that didn't seem optimal. One was to wait until the 4s finished their season and then she could join them as they entered 5. Or have her compete by herself, however we alone would be responsible for all meet/coach's fees for any competition she...

    Parents Searching for a new gym

    Thank you! Lots of helpful advice, as this wasn't at all the plan two months ago & I was feeling lost on the best way to begin to move forward. She does have a L5 move up score. At this point, she would like to start training optional, even if she waits until next year to compete. She feels...

    Parents Searching for a new gym

    My DD left her gym 3 weeks ago. She was the last gymnast at her level (L5) and there wasn't a solid plan in place for her season. There were no gymnasts above her level. She is now figuring out what to look for in a gym. Since it's the middle of competition season, it feels like an awkward time...
