Has anyone upgraded to the Gold VIP? The girls get to be apart of the finale and get to do a group photo with Simone (I’m sure it’s a ton of kids in the group!) Wondering if it’s worth it.
My 8 year old level 4 had her kip before she got grips. She got it about a month before grips. Now that she has grips, she can’t do her kip anymore. She blames the grips but she won’t tell the coach. She is very shy. Should I wait it out or email the coach to see if she can do bars without...
Just curious, my daughter is average but not knocking it out of the park with lower levels. But, conditioning and picking up new skills is her strength. She is a long lean power house gymnast. But in level 1-3 I feel like the girls scoring high are graceful dancer types. Does anyone have a...
My daughter is about to have her first meet in September. The level 3 girls range from ages 7-12. They all compete at the same time. Will they give awards based on age group or all the girls that compete at the meet?
Just curious...after your gymnast’s first meet, did he or she enjoy gymnastics more or did the nerves of competition make him or her like it less? Or, did meets not make a difference?
My 7 yo daughter is about to begin level 3 competitions in the fall. She likes gymnast plenty right now. She is...
My 7 year old daughter is having trouble with her shoot through. It’s funny how some skills come so easily and others don’t. She has the front mill circle & front hip circle beautifully! I’ve found some good YouTube videos so she can see it in slow motion. To me it looks like the hips go up a...
I’ve posted about my dd’s poor flexibility before. She is 6 and hates to stretch at home and her pre-team class is only one 3 hour class per week. So, she isn’t getting a lot of gym time to work on flexibility. In order to be considered to move up to JO level 3, she has to have her split. I...
Is not having a super strong standing bridge going to slow down my 6 year old dd bhs progress? Do typically girls with very flexible backs (but little arm strength) get their bhs before others? Her back walkover is ok, not pretty like some other BWO I’ve seen. A standing backbend is her least...
@Annikins @GymMomA3R
The video was helpful!! I don’t think she’ll mind doing it at home plus it won’t hurt her back. @NutterButter the gym we’re at is very selective of who they take. Her coach has told me she needs to work on her splits at home, but he didn’t seem as concerned about her back as...
Do you think back handsprings will come easier for her then the BWO? I appreciate all the replies!
It’s strange that she is beginnng to love gymnastics more and more but she isn’t mastering the skills as fast as her peers.
