    Parents DD's 3rd Meet-and ??s (long)

    I have also noticed that not placing well in one level does not mean low placements in the next level up. My daughter did not did place high in Level 5, but she consistently placed in the top 3 in Level 6. The routines are very similar with each step up so the girls start to "get it" more when...

    Parents Let's all move to Texas!!!

    I would go visit a few gyms and just sit and watch for an hour or so. There are lots of gyms in this area and from what I have heard/seen most will allow your gymmie to come work out with the team before joining. This way you and your daughter can get a feel for the gym prior to making a...

    Parents Let's all move to Texas!!!

    WOGA would be a VERY long drive from Arlington especially in traffic. Sunbelt or Texas Dreams would be closer . I think Empire is also out that way. You'll love Arlington. My mom lives there and it has many outdoor things to do. Plus you are about half way between Fort Wrth and Dallas...

    Funny Things People who don't do gym have said?

    Parents Texas???

    Denton Gymnastics I know I'm late to the conversations, but if you are still looking, Denton Gymnastics Academy seems to be a new gym that is doing well. Denton is north on 35E from Lewisville and Flower Mound. Just a suggestion. Good luck!

    Dominique Moceanu Interview on the "Dark Side" of gymnastics

    Checks and balances Bela and Marta don't train these gymnasts on a daily basis and my understanding is that when the girls are at training camp, their coach is with them. So, they have their own coach to speak up for them as well as the coaches of all the other girls. Also, I believe Shawn,s...
