Well, this isn’t a post I thought I’d be making for a few more years, but it is what it is. After 12 years of gymnastics, including 8 years competing, Puma Jr says she is done. She’s had three fairly big injuries in an 18 month period, broken ankle Jan 2020, broken wrist Dec 2020 and a scary...

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2021/07/31/tokyo-olympics-simone-biles-out-vault-uneven-bars-event-finals/5426656001/ I’m sad for Simone that she had to make this difficult decision. But proud of her for doing so. And happy for MyKayla too. What a crazy ride for her! I hope she...

Our gym announced today that we will be switching from USAIGC to NGA for the upcoming season. I looked at their website briefly, and plan on sinking my teeth into it later, but does anyone have any feedback yet? Thanks!

Yesterday was USAIGC States for Puma Jr. It was the first meet (besides two in house meets that were sanctioned) she‘s competed in almost 18 months. She broke her ankle in January 2020, then her wrist in December 2020, and that whole pandemic thing lol. Her main level, USAIGC Silver (L6/7ish)...

Puma Jr last competed in January 2020, then broke her ankle, then the shutdown. She broke her wrist to end 2020 and 5&1/2 weeks after getting out of the cast, she finally competed again this past weekend (the day after her 14th birthday!:eek: o_O ). She did great! It was an in house meet, and...

So as some you maybe remember, Puma Jr broke her ankle and sustained some ligament damage when her foot slid off the spring board going into a vault on January 28. She conditioned and did a little bars from then until the gym shut down March 15, then obviously was out like everyone else after...

I see that Gov. Newsom shut down indoor operation of restaurants, fitness gyms ect again today. Does that affect gymnastics? I know we have a lot of CA people here. Either way, stay safe everyone!

I’m excited and a little scared??!! https://www.syracuse.com/news/2020/06/youth-sports-can-restart-in-central-ny-early-next-month-cuomo-says.html

So, though it’s a bit of a moot point in the coronapocalypse (Lol), Puma Jr is FINALLY fully cleared for full activity! She injured her ankle literally 100 days ago (yes I counted lol) on vault. Her ankle rolled off the springboard and she jumped with her full weight on it and crashed into the...

So as I was Chalkbucketing today, Puma Jr looked over my shoulder and told me I should update my picture :D Disclaimers: A) She fully admits she’s lost some flexibility lol and B)please pardon the dirt on the porch! As if an injury that won’t heal and the coronapocalypse wasn’t enough, we...

Ok, so I know a lot of you guys have kids who regularly score in the mid or even high 9s, but Puma Jr went into her 45th lifetime meet last weekend without ever scoring a 9 on vault. So when that 9.0 came up (after she did a 1/2 on, 1/2 off which I didn’t even know she could do?! :eek: :p), she...

What do we think about this? (I saw it on FB and I couldn’t figure out how to copy the link so I copy/pasted) Parents, athletes, coaches - PLEASE READ! Why Is The USOC Requesting Section 8? The USOC has informed our USAG Board of Directors that they plan to implement Section 8 which...

I know this doesn’t affect too many, but for anyone interested, USAIGC just added some skills that can be done in some levels. I’d love to discuss with any other IGCers!

Trifecta complete! Puma Jr is USAIGC 11 yr old Bronze Uneven Bars State, Regional and World Champ! (This is the part where I say yes I know USAIGC isn’t as competitive as JO and yes it’s a little crazy it’s called “Worlds” lol...but I’m still super happy for her! )She also is 2nd on beam. Who...

I know this doesn’t affect too many of us, but FYI here it is! http://usaigc.com/competition_world_championship.cfm Puma Jr goes Monday (6/25) at 11:45am, then if she qualifies to Bronze EF, Tuesday at 9am. Her Silver (specialist- bars and floor) is Friday at 11:45am, then if she qualifies to...

Puma Jr has improved her awkward vault run quite a bit, but it still has a long way to go! One of her coaches suggested getting her a running coach, and I have tons of video of my kid obviously, but does anyone have any video or a really nice vault run so the running coach can see what it’s...

I can’t make this stuff up...the kid who took 18 months from first kip to consistent ugly kip just won bars at Regionals for both Bronze AND Silver! There were 28 kids in each of her groups, and in her Bronze session she got 8th AA. At 4:30am before her 8am Silver (specialist) session, she was...
