    Parents Early fears

    My 7yo daughter is in her first year as Xcel bronze. She is doing fine and enjoys gymnastics, though she doesn’t live and breathe it (which is totally fine!). My question/concern is that she has a lot of fears. She is already pretty shaky doing her routine on the high beam, and she is scared...

    WAG Coaches, what do you think of parents that watch the entire practice?

    That feels so crazy to me. How can a gym keep parents from supervising their child?! I understand not wanting to stay all the time, but not being allowed to stay when I want to would infuriate me. Not sure I would stay there.

    Parents How big is your gym?

    Interesting, I hadn’t thought about that. I wonder how long it will take for that to correct itself.

    WAG Coaches, what do you think of parents that watch the entire practice?

    Not that I know of. She just started on team so I haven’t met other parents yet. It would be great if that works out, but we’ll have to wait and see.

    Parents How big is your gym?

    My daughter is new to team. Our gym is Xcel only for team, and at the parents’ info session they said there will be about 120 girls on team. This surprised me, as it doesn’t strike me as a particularly big gym and I thought there would be fewer kids. But then I realized I have no frame of...

    WAG Coaches, what do you think of parents that watch the entire practice?

    I’m struggling to figure out how to balance this too, but more for logistical reasons. Our gym is 20 minutes away and she has 2 two-hour practices, one of which is over rush hour. Plus I have two younger kids. Driving back and forth seems like a huge pain, but two hours is too long for the...

    Parents New to this (DD on pre team)

    I’m new too so I don’t have much advice. Just wanted to say that we are exploring leo brands for my daughter who just made the team and she seems to wear a different size in every brand. So read the size charts carefully and then do some searching here to see which brands seem to run big/small/etc.

    Parents My tall girl just made the team

    My 6.5yo started a rec class at the beginning of the fall, and she recently got invited to the Xcel bronze team. Two separate coaches told me over the year that she has a lot of natural talent, which surprised me because she is at the 99.6th percentile for height. She’s 52 inches tall at 6.5...
