My daughter is thinking about going back to gymnastics (Xcel) after leaving her gym at the end of the summer. She is currently doing HS track and they practice 5 days a week after school. The head track coach has a strict policy about attending all practices. So, she would have to do two...

Not really looking for advice. Just wanted to vent. My daughter who was moved up to Xcel Diamond is probably done with gym after this season. She had a great season previously but two of her main coaches ended up leaving and she mentioned a few times during the summer she wants to quit. She did...

Can a front layout be in a floor routine at Platinum level?

Do some gymnasts find clear hips to be a scary skill? My daughter has struggled with them for years. Before taking a 13 month break she had decent upper body strength and could do a nice back extension roll. I think some of the issue now is strength but wonder if it could be something else...

I have learned so much from this site. This is my first time posting. DD (just turned 9) who just completed level 4 has decided to quit. She decided this right after she learned she would have to do another year at level 4. I think she is upset and not thinking about the real consequences...
