    Parents Non-parent (and coach) needing advice

    im always reaally uncomfortable in just a leotard, but my gym has a VERY strict rule that we are absolutely not allowed to wear shorts or leggings in meets. sometimes we arent even allowed to wear them for practice. its ridiculous because even the usag rules allow it.

    Parents Can someone help me determine her skill level?

    I would say around level 4 or maybe xcel silver or gold, but she would need a front handspring over the vault table and kips on bars for level four and gold.

    WAG Any AuDHD (autistic/ADHD) Gymnasts out there?

    I don't have a diagnosis but I'm pretty sure I have at least mild autism, and I know that I hate standing around and waiting. I never stop practicing to talk to anyone else and I notice that I always take the most turns. I never get nervous at meets or to do skills, but I tend to get really...

    WAG What level would I be in Junior Olympic?

    Doing diamond is a given for me next year but my gym doesn't let anyone skip levels or even compete one meet and then move up. It's likely I'll be doing sapphire after diamond but I don't know if I'll have the skills to go elite after that

    Parents Hardest Skill To Acquire

    my hardest skill is a squat on. not sure why, but it just keeps coming and going for me even though I've been doing it for 3 years and can do a toe shoot. I'm competing platinum and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in a meet.

    NCAA what is my chance of being a college/elite gymnast? (honesty please)

    I'm 13 and I started gymnastics when I had JUST turned 8, and at that time I already was self taught and was about level 3. Fast forward to today and I'm probably like level 8 or 9 but I'm competing xcel platinum and sort of repressing my higher level skills for this competition season. I can...

    WAG Is this a skill? (1/2 Kasamatsu)

    My coach said I could try doing a tsuk entry vault with a half twist off right into a front tuck. I guess you could describe it as like a tsukahara with an Arabian flip off of the table. However I looked up this skill and I can't find it online? Does this exist?
