So 14 y/o DD came home from 9th grade welcome night super excited about HS sports. She spoke to a couple of coaches and would like to try out for volleyball in the fall and soccer in the spring. She has played volleyball for 2 years and really loved it, however it really stunts her growth in...

DDs first meet of the season is this weekend. Does anyone else get super anxious for them until after the first meet? DD is doing her kip cast handstand for the first time into giant giant flyaway. She competed Clear Hips last year. I am really proud of her she has worked on the dang thing for...

DD is competing l 7 for the second time. Hopefully moves up during meet season. She was asking if this routine has a 10 SV now that she finally has a giant. Kip. Pike on jump to HB. Kip cast HS or at least to above 45. Clear Hip to 45 Giant Giant Flyaway. I think this is missing an A. Is that...

Does anyone know where l 7/8 region 5 regionals will be? I can't find the answer anywhere last year it was posted sooner.

Does GBR grow handsome divers or what, I had to call DDs in to see them.

So a little background. Gym split left DD at gym with no teammates L6 (her level at the time) and above. She chose to stay with current HC. I think out of fear of not measuring up at some of the other gyms around. Comp scores for her are usually mid range for some of the higher scoring gyms. In...

DD is training 8. HC had her get the Code of points and pick her skills for routines. She said her beam has these elements is she missing anything? Also will there be deductions for all acro being connected to dismount? I think it goes like this. Mount, full turn, switch leap, wolf or cat jump...

DD has fallen on every attempt of giants this year due to cast not being high enough. So coach is removing the giants and one of the cast from the routine. She is trying to qualify for regionals in 3 weeks She is about a total point off around 34 AA. Needs a 35 at states. So SV is super...

My DD does a roundoff on beam for l7 she was telling me her HC says it's too short. She said she tries to fix it but doesn't know how. Any suggestions I can give her. Or should it lengthen as she gains more confidence. Will she receive an amplitude deduction?

You know the face. The one where DD or DS is ecstatic over a hard worked for skill. The one that we all pay the big bucks to see. I saw it yesterday, it has been a long time. DD got her clear hip hand giant giant flyaway without a spot yesterday. She did it twice in a row. She said it was only...

A mom I know whose DD goes to another gym had a discussion with another mom from her team during this weekends meet. The other mom complained to my friend that her daughter should have done a full in her tumbling series since she is capable of doing them. I saw a lot of level 7 fulls in...

I know this has been covered many times. But any suggestions. 12 y/o is doing this series this weekend at her first l 7 meet. She has been working it a lot lately with a lot of back pain. Stretching and Motrin help a little. She had normal back X-rays about 6 weeks ago. It is starting to affect...

On the website for region 5 it looks like there is a date for L 7 regionals. Does anyone know for sure about a L 7 regional meet and what the qualifying process is? We haven't had a regional championship for L7.

So I have a big problem. We have a nieces wedding coming up. RSVP'd for months ago. It's 4 hours away. Just found out today that HC scheduled choreographer for the same weekend. She says she absolutely cannot change it. I don't know what to do. What I can see is no new choreography this year...

DD starts her first season as a L7. She wants to play 7th grade volleyball. I haven't talked to HC yet. She is already in band and NJHS. Volleyball games will make her modify practice schedule for 6 weeks starting now. 1st meet is in December. Would you let her tryout?HC is usually pretty...

Just saw a video on Facebook of a young gymnast doing back flip off of 3 stacked couch cushions. Onto some more couch cushions on the floor. SMH what happens when she pushes off on that unstable base and falls. Does that parent I hear in the background taping think couch cushions will help? I...

Dd has fallen in love with the floor music Torn by Lanier. How many of you have heard it in comp? Her coach does not want her to have something super popular. I haven't heard it in comp yet. I usually hear a ton of pirates and resolve. How about you all? She has had skyfall by Adele for two...

So yesterday I was picking up Dd. I was about 15 min early and was chatting about various things with the owner of the gym. I didn't realize that the boys team coach was just inside the office and overheard our conversation. What we were discussing was the toll pre teen and teen changes take on...

I thought I posted this thread earlier but I don't know where it went so I will try to post it again and hopefully it is not a double post. I know this is a pretty public place so If my daughters HC sees it I hope she is not offended. My DD will be a level 7 in 2 weeks. She has been new 6 for...

My DD is in hospital possible appendicitis she asked me how long off of practice I really don't know. I just want her healthy. Does anyone know approx time off. She is so upset about meet season starting in 3 weeks.
