She says it doesn't hurt anymore! I think there was some minor underlying issue there! Thank you for asking!
From what I have learned - the mini-squads or pre-team teams compete at level 3 (some gyms) or 4. I went to a competition last week to watch and the gym she goes to puts their mini...
to gracefulone - busy and SMART!
WOW you must be super busy- but definately it sounds like you enjoy everything you do! I like your parent's idea of exposing you to alot of activities - then you get to discover your own strengths, likes and dislikes. You must need an incredible planner to get...
another question for preschool /young school age parents
My dtr finally will flip forward on the bars- she just did it one day and came flying out of class beaming! The fact that she faced her fear was a priceless moment. Now she loves going on the bars.
My questions are - what age and level...

just read your post
too iroinic - i am a nurse practitioner and I also work in an ED! I am sure it will be hard to juggle everything but I actually function more efficiently when I am in overload (must be why I work in the emergency department!)
stick it
My 5 year old dtr LOVED the movie (although parts of it went right over her head) she wanted to watch way-way's(no idea how to spell her name) beam routine over and over. And all she wanted for christmas was an ipod - which we had to put Way-Way's beam song on!
I do not know how old the girls are you are teaching, but for a different approach to shoulder flexibility and strength you might want to try the power bands. They are long rubber bands and there are a multitude of stretches you can do on them and the girls could do at home over a door frame...
Congrats!
Best wishes to you, your wife, and your dtr! I have a sister and she is my best friend. It is awesome to have a built in best friend (although at times she was also my enemy!)
Congrats!:p
Thanks
Thanks for the info, we went to see the level 3 and 4s compete - they did it in a traditional format - I now know the level 3 floor routine! I think we watched it 50 times! I thought my dtr would be bored, but she did not want to leave, I bribed her because I could not hear the music...
Does anyone know what types of formats there are for meets? There is a gymnastic invitational meet locally and I wanted to take my dtr to see, but I do not understand the following abbreviations! What types of formats are WUC, CC, traditional, theme and presectional? Any help would be...
law moms
I am taking the LSAT in FEB! It was my inital intent to go to Law school but financially I had to choose a quick career - so I became a nurse. Now after getting my Master's degree as a Nurse Practitioner I am going to try to go back to school (again)! Nice to meet you guys!
answers
I thought I previously answered this, so if this is redundant please excuse.
1. Gym is not parent friendly - or I am not coach friendly! The physical layout of the gym mirrors the atttitude coaches on one side, parents on the other
2. SAFETY primary concern. I expect encouraging...
shoulder flexibility
That was quite an interesting thing to do - my whole family had fun measuring our shoulder flexibility using a hockey stick.
Results - my 19 year old son (who is a pitcher) can lift the stick way far up, yet his friend who is a catcher can only lift the stick 4-5 inches...
slushie
It is a plain two flavor slushie machine. It makes slush puppies. Sugar and ice. Not my favorite drink for her! They should sell great coffee - it would save me a trip to the coffee shop before class.
Other activities at the gym
Other activities valued at current gym: Birthday parties and open gym. Day camps (during vacation weeks) and summer camps (half and full day camps) Both my children have had a blast at various camps the gym has offered. Also the availability of leotards!
My dtr...
Bonding time at the gym
When we started I thought my dtr would meet some children. She was two at the time, however, I soon realized that there really wasn't anytime in class for her to meet any other kids. Instead we bonded and had a great time together! We still go to open gym when we can...
Besides bridges and backbends what are some other at-home drills to safely increase back flexibility for a five year old? My dtrs dance teacher said she needs to 'work' on her backbends. (I find the dance studio is much more aggresive at priming kids for company) I need to get clarification...
