    Parents When to make her retire (health reasons)?

    My daughter is 11 (level 5/6). In August, she began having back pain. In Sept. we received a spondy diagnosis (stress fracture in her L4 vertebrae on the right side). She was out of all physical activity (except PT) for 6 weeks, then braced for 6 weeks, then out 6 more weeks. She was finally...

    My daughter was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her l4 vertebrae on 9/23. She has been restricted from all activity except PT since then. The PT has cleared her this week to do some swimming. We go back to the orthopedic doctor on Wednesday 11/6. He indicated that even in the best case...

    Parents Back pain... How long to wait?

    My DD is a 10 year old level 5 and started having back pain in her lower back on 8/24. It hurts only on the right side. She thinks she hurt it initially on an awkward warm up vault. She competed the meet. She rested her back for several days and acted like it felt better. Practiced as usual...

    Does anyone have a suggestion for how to find a good TNT gym in DFW area? My daughter is a level 4 gymnast AND a select soccer player. She doesn't want to give up either but the hours are taking a toll on her emotionally. She excels on vault and floor, so I wondered if TNT might be a good fit. I...

    WAG Level 3 bars question

    Which mistake is worse (bigger deduction) in a Level 3 bar routine? 1) Putting your leg on the bar during the shoot through? 2) Completing the shoot through correctly and then falling backwards? She has been doing Option 1 all season and it is killing her all around score. The coaches decided...

    WAG closing eyes on back tuck

    My daughter just came back from practice. She said, "I keep landing my ROBHBT on my knees." When I asked what her coach said, she said, "He told me it is because I keep closing my eyes! I think "keep your eyes open, keep your eyes open, but I just keep closing them." (By the way she is being...

    WAG Shoot through

    My daughter is in Level 3. She had all the skills for her bar routine in August/September. (They weren't pretty by any means, but she could do them.) She went through a growth spurt and lost her shoot through. A few months ensued with tears and frustration. Then one day she announced that they...

    Parents Help- nail polish on leo

    My daughter just got nail polish on her brand new leo (first time she ever wore it). Any suggestions to get it out? Thankfully it is a Plum leo, so not a super-expensive one or her team practice one. But, frustrating nonetheless. Thanks for any help!
