    Parents Compete or (Not) Compete

    Hi All, So, my DD lost her "squat-on". She's had it - since early this summer, but, somehow lost it!! She's an Xcel Gold gymnast (or at least for now - I'm wondering if they might need to drop her back to Silver - at the rate she's going!). And, the first competition of the season, is January...

    Parents Question about Xcel Competitions

    Hi All, At a recent Silver Xcel meet, a gymnast forgot to do her handstand on beam. I wasn't watching but she told my DD that she forgot it. And, still received a high score of 9.25. I'm confused - I thought the handstand on beam was a Silver Xcel beam requirement? Anyway, my DD landed her...

    Parents DD Goofs Around During Practice

    Parents DD Goofs Around During Practice

    Thanks dunno...That sounds like a good idea. I think she needs a wake-up call... I know I shouldn't compare her to the other kids...but I'm scratching my head wondering why the other kids are so focused and well behaved but my child acts like something that has been let out of a cage. :)

    Parents DD Goofs Around During Practice

    Hi All, I'm not sure what to do anymore. My DD - age 8 - is on Pre-team but no matter what I say to her or what her coach says to her - she does stuff like swinging on the rope and jumping up and off of the mats and in general doesn't seem nearly as focused as the other girls (who are actually...
