    Parents Joining a team with no natural talent??

    So very true. My dd has been involved in gymnastics for 10 years now and still loves gymnastics at the age of 13 1/2. My dd was never picked out for squad until she turned 7 and even then it’s a low level, low hours squad. 99% of those who were picked out for squad at the age of 4 to work...

    WAG Gymnast wrist - what's next?

    My daughter is very anti surgery and probably wouldn’t have it if offered. I understand what you mean when you said it was hard for your daughter to let go of gymnastics, I was wondering if my daughter would lose her love for gymnastics after having 4 months off, she is still adamant she loves...

    WAG Gymnast wrist - what's next?

    thank you, my daughter didn’t even have a fracture, I think her hand slipped to the side whilst doing a back handspring at the gym, she is still quite new to those and was trying them on the floor with her coach beside her. I hope that my daughter heals but I am worried that age might be against...

    WAG Gymnast wrist - what's next?

    Update on my dd.. Called the physio today as my dd is still having pain in her right wrist 9 months after injuring it, she has been out of gymnastics for 4 months due to covid 19 lockdown, gym reopening from 25th July. My dd has been giving the diagnosis of TFCC (Trinagular Fibro Cartlidge...

    Parents What do coaches want in a gymnast

    My youngest gymnast (dd, 13) is not exactly confident, not exactly fearless and is not the fastest runner, her flexibility has near enough gone during lockdown. But what she does have is good work ethic, always behaves well in the gym, great attendance, strength is better than her flexibility...

    Parents Puberty

    Update on my oldest dd, she got her first period a few days ago at the age of 16 1/2, she has growth issues and a bone age delay of 4 years so has always been behind her peers. I hope she gets a little growth spurt soon , she has only just gone into 30” leaotards and wears age 9/10 year clothes...

    11th July

    I have a 13 year old and a 16 year old gymnast, I would upset them if they couldn’t go back when then gym opens and their team mates could, but if it’s a phased return then it wouldn’t be too bad if they only have to wait an extra few weeks. How would this effect the compulsory pathway girls who...

    Parents Puberty

    My 16 year old dd has started puberty and up top has increased during lockdown, she was a late puberty starter and only started showing signs of puberty late last year, she has growth issues so is short (height of an average 9 year old) has not started her periods yet. She is a dream compared to...

    WAG Gymnast wrist - what's next?

    I am not the original poster but I am sure that my daughter has had issues with turning her hands out when doing backwards skills like walkovers, training back handsprings on the trampoline as I have seen her coach gesture to her to not turn her hands. Is there anything that can be done about this ?

    WAG Gymnast wrist - what's next?

    My daughter is 13, she injured his wrist last November, x rays showed no fracture, she had pain in her wrist for a while after and ended up having physio, we had one physio session then covid 19 hit and her physio was cancelled, her gym closed March due to covid 19 and she has been resting it...

    Return to Training

    I agree with you, if thousands (hundreds of thousands maybe) can be shoulder to shoulder in a protest then everything should open up again in 14 days if the numbers don’t increase in a big way. When I saw the photos of the protest in London it reminded me of the start of the London marathon with...

    Return to Training

    I don’t think they are a BG affiliated club, they maybe a UK Gymnastics club.

    Return to Training

    There is a gym club in my area that is offering one to one training session in open air places like parks, weather permitting, they have equipment that they can take outside easily and offer tuition to members and non members.

    Senior Letting Off Some Steam

    The current school leavers have lost so much this year, it’s a shame they cannot get a chance to finish their school career as all the younger years will get this chance, to me it feels like the school leavers have been forgotten about, here in the U.K. they want Year 10’s to go back due to...

    Off Topic Hamilton movie

    You are so lucky to see Michael Crawford as Phantom, I have been lucky enough to see Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty’s Theatre in the Westend earlier this year, I sat in the front row, centre, right behind the orchestra and the chandelier went up over me and came crashing down just above my...

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

    Both of my teenage gymnasts (13 & 16) haven’t done any serious conditioning beyond doing forfeits during a throw and catch game they play. The most gymnastics related stuff they have done is doing hand stands and cartwheels and leaps on the beach, my youngest went through her floor cheography on...

    Offshoot from the gym opening suggestions thread

    Did they get tested and get it confirmed or did they get a diagnosis based on their symptoms? There might have been a chance that I have had it and my sister who I work with in a close confined area also might have had it. I visited London for the weekend at the beginning of February and...
