Sometimes my daughter lightly taps the floor on her second kip during her JO5 bars routine. What is the deduction for this? Thanks in advance!

Oh my heart breaks for your daughter. That is absolutely horrible!! I have three children in gymnastics, two DD's and one DS. There have been many ups and downs in this sport through the years, and I totally understand your feelings. My oldest just had her trials for Western championships this...

As far as I understood the qualifying score was a 35. That might just be a few of the local gyms' personal requirement and that's all I've ever heard. Yes my DD has always scored over 31 in level four and five so based on that she has qualified. On another note, our provincials competition is...

Thank you so much for all your encouraging words. I had my older DD compete tonight and she had the best bars of her season and the most amazing beam of her life and then when her floor and vault came, which are her two fairly strong and very consistent events, she completely bombed and it means...

Believe me, last night I was ready to pull my DD out of the rest of her competitions for the season. Unfortunately, I don't think that would be looked upon very positively from her coaches. She likes to compete, and is not showing any nerves or fears leading up to competitions. However, this...

Thank you for your kind words Mrs. Puma. I've followed your story over the last year or so with your daughter and it definitely comes to my mind when I'm feeling frustrated with how things are going. The thing is, we are in Canada and other than going with the JO program it would be very...

I'm feeling really discouraged. My DD in JO5 has been in gymnastics pretty much since she could walk, started pre-competitive at age 4 and competitive at age 5. What's so disheartening is that it seems that no matter how hard she works she's always at the bottom of her group at competitions. She...

We attend a meet every year that is on an ice rink. That being said there are wooden boards in-between the gymnastics equipment and the ice! It definitely is cooler and the kids know now to pack slippers and extra clothes and blankets for in between events [emoji12].

I pack WAAAY more than that for my daughters. They are at a Gymnastics Academy doing school and gym from 8-5:30 Monday through Friday. I pack a sandwich, bagel or steel cut oats for lunch, 2-3 types of fruit, a baggie full of cut veggies (usually 3 types--cucumbers, peppers, carrots, celery...

I was just wondering what is the FIG vault value for a senior competing a tsuk pike vs. a yurchenko pike? Tsuk layout vs. yurchenko layout? Thanks in advance.

Congratulations to Alex! That seems so early for EC screening. My daughter's isn't until Dec.10. Butterflies are starting now!!

My daughter is 8, level 5 this year, and she has already been working on half on half off the vault with a mini trampoline, and working round offs onto a beat board onto mats. I'm surprised your daughter is at level seven and not having done Tsuk/yurchenko drills already. Your looking for...

I totally agree! Her stock went down when I heard that. She is not mature enough yet to represent her country. My 14 year old daughter thought that was laughable and childish to rely on beads for motivation.
