    Time to say goodbye Bogwoppit

    You will most definitely be missed but completely understand this decision. Thank you for all you have done for me & every other person on CB!

    WAG University of Michigan assistant coach arrested

    This is exactly what I feel! She’s 18 & so she’s adamant it was consensual because it hadn’t gotten to the stage that she needed/wanted to break it off yet. Then she would have known it wasn’t actually consensual. I worry about my daughter. We put them in this sport with long hours and they...

    WAG Double back tuck acquired at what age?

    My dd is 10 L8 & she’s doing double backs on the floor. She started training them into the pit last summer. There is another girl who is 11 that has them as well but she’s had that skill a lot longer than my dd.

    WAG How much and how early does gym choice matter

    @littlegirlsdream I swear, I could have written your exact post a few years ago. My dd was on team at a gym for 3 years. The scoring was never super. My dd always scored in the top 3 on her team but that wasn’t saying a lot. The coaches were sweet. Families were great friends. But I noticed a...

    WAG Level for cast to handstand?

    I can’t remember when our coaches started teaching it but my dd has it consistently before starting level 6. Not all of the girls had it though, maybe 3-4? And now at the end of the level 7 season, it’s honestly about the same number. I think it’s a skill that takes a while to get on a constant...

    WAG level 7 floor

    Our L7’s are all different on the front pass but all do a RO BHS BLO. Front passes are FT FT, FHS FT, FHS FP, FHS FLO. My dd does FT FT but floor isn’t her very best event, she’s a better bar/beam gymnast. The girls getting the best floor scores do FHS FP & FLO I believe.

    Parents Do coaches know you?

    I think all of the team coaches know me but it's not like we hang out or anything. There are parents who are there all the time & are super great friends with some of the coaches. I'm never there but the coaches specific to my child know who I am. I think our coaches do make a point of matching...

    Parents BWO on beam fear

    Not sure if it's an option but my dd did compete BWO & then shortly after got her BHS on beam. She swears the BHS is less scary. This year she had a choice between BWO BHS or BHS BHS, still says the BHS series is less scary. Just know it's not abnormal for gymnasts to have an issue like this...

    Parents Opinions or Real Situations on Gymnastics in College

    It depends on the school district. My dd is going into 4th & the school said no because classes in elementary school have all core in the mornings. She would miss the main classes. But our district middle school works around the morning gym schedule. I understand it but kind of feel she's been...

    WAG How long in gymnastics before a team invite

    Dd started with Mommy & me at 3. They asked her onto the youngest preteam for ages 3-5 at 3 1/2 within 6 months was moved to the preteam for ages 5-7 at age 4. By 4 1/2, she was training old L3 (new 2) & competed the week after turning 5. She's 9 now training 7.

    Parents Another move up question :/

    I hate this for her! Is there an option to do private lessons to work on this especially if it's this one skill? If not, there really isn't anything you can do. Each gym has their own rules about skills and moving up. I would ask if she can do privates to work on this.

    Parents First Season -- Skill Question

    Well, you probably aren't going to like this BUT let the coaches handle it. Ignore it. Don't ask about it or make any big deal about it. It will fix itself eventually and lots of kids go through moments like that. I would also discourage you from allowing her to do a lot of gymnastics at home...

    WAG Levels and ages...

    9 year old training 7/8. She wants to compete 8 but she will probably compete 7 in the Fall.

    Parents Grips

    Definitely Pixie grips! My dd used them for 2 years. She has tiny hands & we went through 3 pairs in those 2 years.

    WAG Good luck at Nationals everyone!

    Good luck to your girls!! That is so awesome to be able to say that you've coached them until college (and raised 1 from age 6 since gym is a 2nd home)! Hope they do great!!

    Parents Question about heel cups

    Dd has this trouble but I can always tell when she's had a growth spurt. She suddenly is wearing both cheetah cups at gym. We ice & stretch at home before & after gym & I give her ibuprofen before gym. Now, I hadn't heard about wearing "good shoes". That is great info that nobody has told me...
