I hope things work out for your daughter and I agree with the others to look into prep/ y program. Having had a daughter go through injuries and growth spurts and eventually leave the sport I feel for you. I think it is terrible that her original coaches and team would not work with her through...

Well as a parent of a child your daughters age who left the sport 2 years ago ( my daughters decision at the time). I think that we both regret she did not stick it with it. She has told me she misses it but realistically we both know it would be very hard to return to at this point. She is...

Having gone through this recently it is really hard to determine what to do. My circumstances where a little different although our daughters where the same age. My daughter completed her level 6 season had growth spurts and a lot of pain and was not doing that great at meets. It was helpful to...

Sounds like they are both doing well. My daughter has also left gymnastics and is doing cheer amongest other things. It seems like lot of former gymnasts go this route. It was one of the hardest things when my daughter left gymnastics I was not sure if that's what she really wanted she also went...

Update so daughter is almost done tumbling session she really enjoyed it but when she went to open gym and tried the other events her she realized that she does not miss them. After being away she realized the bars and the beam are now scary. She went to a cheer leading clinic held by one of our...

Daughter who is retired from the sport went there 2 summers ago when she was 10 after begging me. Out if her 2 friends she was not at all worried about getting homesick and she was the kid who got home sick spent the night in the nurses station, but was able to get over it and was fine by the...

Daughter quit gymnastics last year after doing it pretty much from the age of 5 to 11 was on the team 4 years. Just about everything sport she has done since she has excelled at. Some more than others cheer leading track swimming and dance she has done the best at. She did do volleyball and...

Congrats to your daughter on having a great meet. Daughter competed by herself last year at States before she quit. She did not do so well and it was tough part which I think may have contributed to her wanting to quit which she did. It was difficult for me to not have anybody to talk to. I...

Daughter started tumbling last week. I thought she would of just been to busy and dropped the idea but she continued to insist that she wanted to do tumbling at her old gym. I quess she really misses it funny because I really thought she was over and done with gnastics. At this point she likes...

So it finally happened after being out of the gym for a year, daughter finally admits that she misses gymnastics. It started out by her saying she wanted to go back to the gym for tumbling to get her back tuck for cheerleading. I told her she could wait till the next class starts in the spring...

This happens a lot in this sport which was also a surprise to me when my daughter competed ecspecailly when you come from a small gym. My daughter did become friendly with other gymnasts from othe gyms and it was nice when she would see them at other meets. It is just one of those things that...

Just to clarify they were only doing the dance with the 8th graders leading the practice and daughter said because she tumbled before the music started that there was no deduction. I am wondering if because it is regulated by the archdioses catholic youth program that the regulations are more...

Daughter had another cheer competition this weekend. Both my daughter and I were getting very fustrated with her cheerteam. They were going to be missing several girls so they dropped out of the all around (where they do stunts and tumbling) they were just doing a cheer dance, daughter was not...

My daughter has been just as busy but definitly has more variety of activites and activities that are more fun and less pressure. She is doing dance 3 days a week including Irish and point. She is also doing cheer and swim team (winter with her school and summer with the swimclub team) She plans...

Wow what a great score she really deserved it, shehas great form and she makes it look effortless, very enjoyable to watch!

Daughter had her 1st cheer competition this past weekend. She did well did not fall despite of her team not placing. I enjoyed the gymnastic meets much better but I am trying to be that supportive mom. I have never seen so many girls fall on their heads trying to backhandsprings in my life...

Try to be positive she still has 3 more chances. My daughters first year competing she was 7 and her and another teammate did not qualify. It was really tough since her gym was hosting the state meet and her coach made her watch her teamates compete. At the time I thought this was really...

Glad to hear both of you are adjusting. My daughter is doing the same adjusting very well to life outside of gymnastics. I think she really likes the variety of doing many activites including dance both regular and irish, along with swim and cheerleading. It seems like there are so many...

I would talk to your head coach about could she possibly miss part of practice or do gymnastics another day. I have found that sometimes when you talk to the coaches that they are more understanding then you think they are. My daughter is no longer doing gymnastics but the couple years before...

I would only encourage him if he wanted to do other things. My daughter was the same way I exposed her to other things but she only really wanted to do gymnastics. Four years later she was done with gymnastics and is now doing other things. I would not worry about him not being able to do...
