    Coaches Help with Xcel Silver tumbling passes

    I have few with backwalkovers that are competition ready, front walkovers are a little harder to come by (atleast the competition ready kind!). I am working front tucks with them to see how that goes and I have one that can do an aerial! We are going to have all kinds of tumbling passes!

    Coaches Help with Xcel Silver tumbling passes

    I recently took over an Xcel Silver group, and am working quickly to get them up to where they need to be. I am having trouble with coming up with possible tumbling passes for a few up them. This group of girls won't have a backhand spring or front handspring ready for season. I was hoping to...

    Parents Recovery after pin placement in finger

    What a great recovery story, thank you for sharing! It was just the pinky bone closest to the knuckle and fracture through the growth plate. We are hoping to see the pin removed at week 6!

    Parents Recovery after pin placement in finger

    Hello fellow parents! My daughter fractured her pinky (vaulting of all things) and had 2 pins placed last week. Because the fracture was so unstable the pins will be in for 6 weeks! I was looking to see if anyone’s child had the same surgery and what the recovery was like? DD has already...

    WAG Pain after injury healed

    Elbow fracture? My DD fractured her elbow in January and has experienced pain on and off since coming back. Mostly with specific skills (back handsprings) so she has eliminated them as much as possible. Doctor said it could partially be extensor tendinitis and probably a little fear about...

    WAG is the an ok routine for level 9 beam?

    Fulfills acro requirement. Needs a B dismount, gainer is an A. But to be up to level she will need an additional acro with flight to be up to level. Without knowing what else is in the routine I can’t offer much more!

    WAG Level 4 vault

    that's a pretty decent vault, I wouldn't worry about. Let the coaches and time take care of it. It took my DD until level 7 to figure it all out. First season she did a front handspring she got an 8.0, Last time she did a front handspring she was regional champion.

    Parents Gym Switch While Injured

    A good gym will not see it as an issue. It will also give you a very good insight into how the gym handles injured gymnasts.

    Parents Return after injury...

    I would like this as well. I think at the end of the day, this is what she will do. Other parents on the team have already offered to take her to regionals with them so she can be with her friends. She is just 12, the fear is missing out on the fun is strong!

    Parents Return after injury...

    Thanks all for the comments. She was talking to sports psychologist prior to injury, so we just continued as to help with keeping a positive mindset. But I think perhaps she may be the type that is not going to benefit from it very much. When asked, She says does want to continue with...
