    Parents Daughter wants to quit

    I never thought that I would have to entertain the possibility, but my daughter told me that she wanted to quit gymnastics.

    Parents Karolyi Camp

    My dd, Jamy, is at the Karolyi camp for the Westerns/Easterns 9s and 10s. She is having fun and trying to perfect her Geinger, among other things.

    Hopes pre-elite program

    I'm hoping to involve my level eight daughter in the Hopes pre-elite program next spring but our gym doesn't have such a program. We don't necessarily want to leave or gym in the SF bay area even though several relatively nearby gyms do have this program. Do you need to be sponsored by your own...

    Coaches Diving coach

    My dd's gym appears to be grooming a diving coach to be our optionals bar and vault coach. Currently he is teaching compulsories. I am having serious reservations about his ability to coach my level eight daughter. We have an excellent bars and vault coach two days a week. He has tremendous...
