My daughter did complete performance coaching for several months and it helped her and also me as a parent. It teaches parents what not to say to make blocks worse and the kids how to believe in themselves and face their fears. My daughter took a couple of falls which caused mental blocks on...

8 with the option for 12-xcel platinum

Thank you! Should she leave it on overnight or does she do this when she competes? Sorry, I don’t know much about gymnastics, hence the need to ask here.

My daughter has a meet tomorrow and she came home from practice last night saying she is about to rip. Is there anything she can do to prevent if from ripping during her meet tomorrow? Thanks!

1. Make a long weekend or mini vacation out of it if you can, leaving a day before and after the meet so you don’t have to worry about booking a flight around a meet time that you probably won’t know until closer to the meet. 2. Make sure her leotard, warm up, gym bag, and grips are part of...

Thank you!!! She just learned how to do a sole circle and then jump to the high bar. She is xcel platinum.

What level is a sole circle on bars? Does it lead into any other skills?

Have a really fun march in for the gymnasts that makes your gym stand out or have a really amazing meet gift.

The best gift was professional photos. It’s nice for the girls to get something but as a parent I would prefer a less expensive meet fee entry and no gift/small gift. My daughter doesn’t need a leotard from every meet and getting these extras only drives the meet fees up. It would be nice to see...

Hi, Do you have to do a switch leap in platinum or can you do a split leap? Thanks!

What exercises do you recommend to increase strength for this skill? My daughter also struggles with this. Thanks!

My daughter started with Sever’s around the same age. We tired rest, ice, ibuprofen, and Cheetah cups. None of those worked. I finally got her into a PT and once she started doing the exercises in combination with the other things I mentioned, she finally started to get some relief. It still...

I’m curious which skill is harder-a roundoff back tuck or a roundoff back handspring back tuck? Is one easier to get the height needed for a tuck? Thanks!

My daughter is 9 and has been competing for 4 years. Beam has always been a struggle but it’s finally clicking this year. This is the first year that I think she might actually stay on the beam during competition. She progresses much faster on other events but beam has been slow and steady. Be...

This sounds exactly like my daughter. My daughter had tendinitis in her ankle that was diagnosed after what I thought was a sprained ankle. It only bothered her when doing pounding activities at the gym, but she could run/walk otherwise without issues. Her PT even gave her permission to run a...

My gold has the following skills: Floor: She has her roundoff with two back handsprings, round off back handspring back tuck, front tuck, and side aerial. She is working on getting height in her round off back handspring back tuck. She is also working front and back layouts on the trampoline...

Thank you!!

Hi, Can xcel gold compete round off back handspring back tuck or is that a platinum skill? Thanks.
