Hi All,
So, my DD lost her "squat-on". She's had it - since early this summer, but, somehow lost it!!
She's an Xcel Gold gymnast (or at least for now - I'm wondering if they might need to drop her back to Silver - at the rate she's going!). And, the first competition of the season, is January...
Hi All,
At a recent Silver Xcel meet, a gymnast forgot to do her handstand on beam. I wasn't watching but she told my DD that she forgot it. And, still received a high score of 9.25.
I'm confused - I thought the handstand on beam was a Silver Xcel beam requirement?
Anyway, my DD landed her...
Hi All,
My DD is on Xcel (silver). Her floor routine is mostly dance and she is HORRIBLE at dance. I think the routine was choreographed by the coaches. (I thought in Xcel gymnasts could make up their own routine???? But I guess I was wrong).

But, she...

Hi All, My DD (almost 8) started gym in Feb. of this yr. and was invited to join one of their team dev. classes shortly after and just recently moved up to Pre-Team. She LOVES gymnastics and had tons of crazy energy. She usually picks up skills pretty quick. But, right now is STRUGGLING with...
Hi All - I've lurked on here but this is the first time I've posted on here!
I am a mom to a 7 1/2 (well closer to 7 3/4) yr old DD. She *just* started taking gymnastics - in Feb. - of this year. But before to that - no gymnastics experience.
A few months ago - one of her coaches asked...
