    Injured With States a Couple OF Weeks Away!

    She injured some soft tissue in her leg and has to have 10 days straight of no activity. It is working but I caught her wrestling her brother this morning because the snow days (3 this week) are giving my kids cabin fever. My dd has been to school for an hour this week because I was told to let...

    Ever run into resentment from parents or kids to new kids moving up?

    Ladies, you are so right! I thought about that all night. Beating the pants off should not have been repeated. I apologize if I offended! I have offended myself. Thanks.

    Do they ever outgrow it?

    I once went through a glass coffee table practicing gymnastics in my mom's livingroom. I still have the scar on my pinky from a minuscule cut I got! Now that I look back on it, I feel bad. The table was 5 by 5 solid glass and it was beautiful!

    Ever run into resentment from parents or kids to new kids moving up?

    That phrase came from the other parents. I am just "borrowing it". My daughter has already been given a spot on the level 4 team and we have been told that she will not be competing level 4 twice which is the norm at our gym. She is treated differently but she also works her but off and is a...

    Ever run into resentment from parents or kids to new kids moving up?

    One of the sad consequences of my 5 year old beating the pants off of her teammates is that she doesn't get invited to their birthday parties and that is something that really hurts her because they hand out the invitations in front of her. She gets invitied to some but they are from the upper...

    Injured With States a Couple OF Weeks Away!

    My dd is injured with a states a couple of weeks away. She hasn't practiced all week and I'm not sure how things will go next week. The positive is that she has had a really good season so if she isn't in shape to compete states, her level 3 season was fun. Please send some healing fairies her way!

    Do they ever outgrow it?

    Hmm, I still do beam turns in my kitchen on a daily basis. In the summer, the trampoline is my friend. Let's hope she doesn't outgrow it. It brings me joy to this day!

    What?!!! The vault fairies have come! Brag Alert!

    My dd is a 5 year old level 3 who is super small. The vault is basically over her head. She has struggled with this event. Well, this weekend she nailed it. She scored over a 9 and got first place. I am just so happy for her. I know vault may be a nemesis for her because of her size but she...

    Optimal Timing For Skill Introduction

    She can cast to handstand nicely and go over the bar onto mats but the mats are so low to the ground and she has to fall a long way. It has been suggested that the mats be stacked closer to the height of the bar so she doesn't have to fall so far but to date that hasn't been done. She can also...
