I've just come on and read a few threads and it seems lots of gyms aren't providing online training.
It's pretty easy to get a group together and arrange a zoom meeting. I gather most gyms have at least provided a conditioning sheet? The kids could then come up with other fun things they want...
so we don't have any college gymnastics etc in Australia so fascinated by the whole idea.
Recent threads about d3 schools had me thinking - can girls who have moved onto college not just keep competing for a normal club at whatever level they are at?
I can understand the scholarship thing but...
Cubital tunnel syndrome, ie pinched nerve in elbow causing pain and numbness in little finger.
i know its a how long as a piece of string injury recovery time wise.
But anyone had it and how long was recovery to give me some idea of string lengths, lol.
A couple of recent threads have got me interested in learning more about the U.S. college scene.
So is it common there for kids to go to college on a scholarship?
Do a lot of kids who do sport 'aim' to try to get a college scholarship out of their sport?
What sports can you get scholarships...
So what's the best/cheapest place to buy tiger paws in the US? That ship internationally.
Pretty sure it works out cheaper than buying them here and dd's are wearing out.
Thanks
@Aussie_coach or anyone else.
Can you clarify the new level 5/6 bars element:
Underswing (to finish at top
of bwd swing)
Long swing (Full swing fwd then back)
My daughter and her coach seem unsure on what this is meaning. At what point to stop the underswing before dismount? Then follow...
Hi,
Can anyone please explain all about college education in the US.
So how many kids go to college (university)?
How many (percent) would get a scholarship?
How much does it cost and how much are the scholarships worth?
Not talking just gymnastics scholarships here, all scholarships...
So
round off flic flic or
round off flic flac tuck back salto
can someone clarify.
it's a round off back flip (handspring), back flip
or a
round off back flip, back tuck
It's the flic flac bit that had confused me. We don't use flic flac terminology.
So the Commonwealth Games have started!
For those in the right time zone how was the opening ceremony? (hopefully we will get highlights tonight)
What are you looking forward to?
So how does Open gym work? I've always wondered this.
Are there kids training at the same time? Have to use certain areas? Coaches?
We don't have open gym around here - maybe as clubs struggle for enough room for their regular classes.
Just keep hearing it mentioned and every time I wonder...
From posts I've read on here I gather most gyms in the US are much bigger than they are here in Australia.
So how big is your gym? (I hear of clubs with 20+ girls per level all the way through, plus rec classes, we'd have to run classes 24 hours a day to fit everyone in, lol).
Most gyms here...
So who competes forward roll on beam (ie countries and levels) and what does it lead to?
We don't do it at all here in Australia (that I know of) and it just sounds uncomfortable to me, lol.
So how well in your country/area are different programs explained. And the options available.
Whether it's our club only trains to level 6, or UK/Aus different streams.
I don't think here in Australia that it's explained at all, and not really even to gymnasts/families in clubs with all 2/3...
Would love some more hair style ideas for a short bob - competition and training.
Training we tend to just do a top up.
Been playing with comp hair do's this week (she previously had it longer) and happy with doing 1,2, 3 pig tail thing (taking one section and putting in a pigtail, adding in a...
Just a rant - how ironic and unfair that every time my very little growing dd finally grows a cm she gets a flare up of severs!!!
Whilst she watches her friends grow 5 cm overnight without a problem.
OK I think I've got the general idea of how the grades vs levels/ national vs elite route in the UK.
But how does the floor and vault only competitions work - do those kids do the grades or is that another 'stream' altogether? Or is it generally a starting point before doing all four apparatus?
Just wanted to post this for anyone searching for information.
A few months ago I posted about my 6 year old and how worried I was that she wouldn't be able to handle competitions. She was super clingy about me leaving her for training in one of her sports but really wanted to compete. She...
So I was just watching a young talented YMCA gymnast on you tube.
Is there much movement between the different programs? (well other than gyms doing JO and Excel and moving kids to excel if they aren't so good/too old/don't want the hours).
Same as I guess what is the chance of a gymnast at a...
