    WAG Training lower level teams together- positive or negative experiences?

    Our gym trains people of multiple levels together (it's a small gym). It seems having a good coach makes all the difference, and it doesn't seem to be a problem at all. They're able to handle the group and provide the necessary guidance tailored to each individual's abilities.

    Parents Regulations for cheering parents?

    I hope that is not the goal! Coaches on the floor and some of the parents gave him a look, but he didn't seem to care. Oh well, I guess there's nothing we can do about it.

    Parents How much is your comp leo?

    I thought the price of our competition leotard $375 was absolutely crazy. But apparently, that's pretty much the norm in the gymnastics world reading your replies.

    Thank you all - I guess it is no problem then. I was surprised to see that this father yelled so loud when his daughter finishes, while the other girls are still in the middle of performing.

    Parents Regulations for cheering parents?

    I am a relatively new parent to the gymnastics world and could not find any resources on Google. There was a father who constantly yelled "YAH!" and cheered for his daughter at the state meet. It was very disturbing for the girls during their routines, and I could see some coaches on the floor...

    Parents "Team Sports Linked to Fewer Mental Health Difficulties for Kids"

    https://neurosciencenews.com/team-sports-child-mental-health-20720/ I came across an article on the positive impact of team sports on child mental health, and it caught my attention since gymnastics is listed as an individual sport in the article. My child enjoys gymnastics, but as a parent, I...

    Parents 8 months to get kip?

    Yes, in my daughter's gymnastics, the fastest one needed only a month, while others needed 3 to 11 months. Our gymnastics are on lower practice hours than nearby competitive gymnastics, but they eventually got it before the end of the L3 season. One thing to note is that the speed of getting it...
