    WAG Giant Swing Timing

    Anyone have any updated tips on delaying the arch phase of the giant, DD like many gymnasts just goes into the arch and whip stage before she is at the very bottom of the swing so runs out of steam before she is at the top. Read through old threads and watched all the youtube videos we could...

    First hand account of how Team USA has changed recently, seems like it's for the better, hopefully it has a trickle down effect to the youth levels. 4:50 she starts going over the differences.

    Parents Shorts Recommendations

    I searched the forums but all the threads look pretty old and outdated, does anyone have updated recommendations for shorts to wear over their leos? DD has been wearing her school leggings at practice, at first she said she was cold, but mom and I suspected it is because she is uncomfortable...

    Hello everyone
