We live in the DFW area, near Keller/Roanoke. Feel free to PM me if you want info on the area. I really like the metroplex but living close to Keller it is very quiet and a little slower paced. A lot of our friends do a home/private school program where they go to the school 2-3 days a week...

The preteam kids can do more than her. But I feel like it's due to what they are taught. I'm curious to see how fast she improves with the next class. They train level 3/4 skills. Her current class is 1/2. Sent from my SPH-L710 using ChalkBucket mobile app

She's six will be seven in a few months. She's built like all the pre team and team girls. Maybe a bit thinner. She's smaller than almost every kid her age in height and stature. She's just very petite. I do believe that they have their eye on her. The coaches do seem to take...

Sorry, another update- she wrote back that they don't know when they will be adding to the preteam group yet, and that they tend to look at kids ages 4-7 but that they absolutely accept older kids, some reach thier potential before others, etc. and she said that if my DD loves the sport, to...

She replied back that she has seen a big improvement with the class and clinics and she's chatted with the other coaches and they feel like she will be ready to move to the intermediate class in June. I replied back and just directly asked what her shot at ever moving to the competitive side...

Fingers crossed- I sent the email. :) I hope my intentions are understood and I'm not being annoying. I just asked if she thought she was benefitting from the extra class + Saturday activities and what was needed to continue her progression, and thanked her for all of the extra help she gives...

I would like to make it work at this gym if at all possible. She LOVES the recreational director and most of the coaches she's encountered. When I asked her if she would like to try any other gyms a while back, she was really hesitant about it. She trusts these coaches. Which is in part why...

Gymmomtotwo I wish I could find a gym like that! I'm going to look for an opportunity to talk to them again at open gym this weekend. It's very crowded in the small lobby and hard to talk during the week. Sent from my SPH-L710 using ChalkBucket mobile app

Would you suggest asking again? I spoke with the recreational program director in January. That's when they suggested the two classes. I don't want to be pushy or anything. I'm also not sure who to even talk to. Sent from my SPH-L710 using ChalkBucket mobile app

She will be 7 in August. She is very small for her age- about 43 inches and barely 40 lbs. She's got genetics against her to be very big. She has no fear on the beams, she loves beam. She did do a forward roll on the high beam a few weeks ago. She was excited about that. I just love seeing...

She has the other two but her middle split is about three inches above the ground. Sent from my SPH-L710 using ChalkBucket mobile app

I honestly don't know. The bars are in the back of the gym. She's not very strong but a really hard worker. They get a certificate when they get the pullover and she was so excited. Lol. She doesn't do pull ups well at home but she's getting better. Sent from my SPH-L710 using...

I've posted before about DD really wanting to join the Pre-Team program, but so far she's not been asked. I am fine with waiting and trust the coaches to know what is best for her development. I just feel really frustrated with her rec experience. She goes twice a week, but she's not learning...

I posted a few months ago about asking the coach about my DD's progress to see if pre-team was an option in her future. She suggested doing two classes a week and let me know that it's by invitation only and comprised of girls ages 4-8. My DD is six, nearly 7. She said that they consider a lot...

I think my DD (who is not yet on a team) would love to go see a gymnastics meet. Where would you start for looking for one to take her to? We are in the DFW area of Texas if that matters. Thanks!!
