Thanks!!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

You may know that I'm a L10. I've been here for a few years, and now I've been angling to go elite my whole life. I've been given an exact year now: 2025, I can go up. Yesssss. Due to certain things I'll have to wait 2 years, and then I'll be living my childhood dream!!!!! I really wanted to...

That's such a cool idea!

I only discovered yesterday that my gym's oldest competitor is not 43, but a different guy aged 64! I have said on here before: I will be the 80+ year old still doing gymnastics.

I absolutely applaud that. It can be hard to feel like the other things about you are part of you too. For many, and honestly for me, they are a gymnast, who happens to be everything else. I will admit that this happened in my case through time. The longer I was a gymnast, the more it became me.

What about a strapless bra? I'm sure you could find one that works.

I decided to make a spin-off thread from one I saw that kind of raised something that I really think about a lot. Gymnastics really becomes a part of your identity, or your child's identity. I don't know how I would define myself without it. I have other passions that I want to pursue, but...

GK and Sylvia P I would highly recommend!

I'm surprised that rec for so many people isn't focused on skills. my gym's rec program includes light conditioning, 4 circuits on different apparatus, sometimes incorporating tramp and acro, but mostly artistic. Is that uncommon?

Since it's Xcel it'd be hard to pinpoint it. Ask her what her routines are. Maybe a level 4 AU? Again, she may be a little below or above, but that's maybe the average.

Love Trinity on floor and beam, and bars too, and vault. Okay I guess she's good at like everything!!

Pretty sure Arabians count as a forward skill because they are mostly forward. Double Arabians count as forward skills, so I'm sure it would be the same.

Just remember the middle school phase. Of course, they still love it, but they sit on class not wanting to go to gym. the more gymnastics they do early on, the more chance that when this pahse hits, it'll be more than just a phase. I understand why you would go for homeschooling, though, as a...

My little sister used them aged 8/9 for bars and press handstands, but that's it. Also I've used them in conditioning.

Oh great! Sorry about the misunderstanding. The clarification mucked me up so I decided to provide both, just to be sure.

I believe you mean a Yami? 8.1. A front pike flip would be a 9.8.

Like @Aussie_coach said, there are courses and working with children checks you have to take to be a coach. A level system is attached. In L7 we had a coach who couldn't stop our fulls because she literally was not qualified to, even though she physically could, her qualification meant she had...
