    Parents DD's gym is closing

    Hey all. I've been MIA for a bit. There has been so much in the air with gym and COVID and it's been hard to read stories here of kiddos going back and it was just easier to take a break. I may be sacrificing anonymity posting this, but I could use some support. Dd's gym is closing. It is 100%...

    Irony

    I was just reading through the guidelines that USAG has put out for member clubs as they prepare to reopen and realized that this forum's namesake, Chalkbucket, may be a thing of the past, as each gymnast is now encouraged to have their own chalk. I don't know why, but it kind of made me sad...

    Anyone else think that COVID brought the end of gym for your gymnast?

    I wasn't sure if I should put this in the COVID forum or parent forum. But it's related to COVID, so here you go. Anyone else thinking that this might be the end for your gymnast? Dd has been out of the gym for 9 weeks. Honestly, she is outwardly not showing any signs of missing it. We have...

    WAG Master's age group

    So this was a new one for me! We were at a meet this weekend and in their Xcel sessions they had a Master's age group. They had 3 girls in their mid to late 20's competing Diamond. It was so cool! The oldest of the group actually took the highest AA score in the whole Diamond session. I just...

    Parents Need advice: I am dreading this meet season

    I feel like I am the opposite of a CGM. I am struggling to muster enthusiasm for meet season. This is dd's 6th season and I'm just... over it I guess? I love my dd and I'm so proud of her and all she's accomplished. But there are times, especially recently, when I wish she would move on and...

    Parents Probably a dumb question

    If you are wanting your gymnast to see a PT to get help with flexibility in hip flexors and shoulder, do you need to get a referral from a regular doctor first? Or can you just call up a PT and ask to be seen?

    Parents Holding my breath!!

    dd came home last night and announced that she did her ROBHS on floor by herself! Is the block broken?! Oh please let it be! For those that haven't followed, dd suddenly blocked on connecting a BHS to anything about 3 months ago, after 5 years of competing all variations of compulsory...

    Parents Dealing with mental block

    Is it acceptable for a parent to request that the coach be willing to spot a gymnast that is dealing with a mental block? Poor dd is struggling and she is doing everything she can to work through it. She's speaking with a sports psychologist to help with the mental side of things and is trying...

    Parents Need advice re: time to be done?

    I could use some advice for helping my dd. I can sense that she may be nearing the end of her gymnastics days. Dd has always been more of a turtle than a hare when it’s come to gym. In some ways that’s served her well, considering that she is still doing gym while many many of her teammates...

    WAG Over time limit deductions

    Does anyone know off hand what the deduction is for an over time limit floor routine in Xcel Gold? I just discovered dd's routine is too long and I'm curious how much that hurts her score. Seems like a silly thing to lose tenths over.

    WAG Links to well performed floor routines?

    I'm looking for youtube videos of well performed floor routines, preferably levels 6-8. Dd has her first non-compulsory routine and I was wanting to show her what it looked like to really "perform" the routine rather than just go through the motions. Anyone got anything for me? *eta: higher...
