    Best place to order a leotard online.

    I really like Jagwear, but you might call them first before you order to make sure you can get your suit in time for the meet.

    Canadian camps, other than Gymrep

    Canadian Adventure Camp!!! SOooooo much fun. The gym is "open air" and sometimes squirrels run across the floor while you're doing stuff. There's also a climbing wall, water trampoline, tarzan rope, sauna, basketball court, this spinning thing called a gyro, and the food is really good. It's...

    anti-bullying policies at gym

    That's awful! I know that in our gym's mission statement there is something like, "all athletes must respect all other athletes, coaches, staff, judges, and officials." But that is the extent of it. I know a girl at my gym this year who got bullied by her teammates, and when they told the head...

    Bar Games

    Does anyone have any suggestions of games that can be played on or around the uneven bars? I like to coach one day a session of just games, and bars makes this difficult! I don't have anything! Thanks :)

    Coaches Spotting Injury

    I've been working a lot of backhip circles and casts with my advanced recreational girls, and they all need help getting their casts high enough. I've been using the outside of my arm to push their legs while holding on to their shoulder with my other arm...and now it seems I cant move my left...

    Goals for 2009-2010

    In my gym we've been setting lots of goals for the season. I thought it would be cool for people to post their goals here, and let everyone when they achieve them! I want to learn backhandspring on high beam, cast handstand layout full, layout flyaway and fronthandspring full off vault. I...

    How to "just go?"

    I have the exact same problem. A month ago I got my flyaway by myself, and then all of a sudden I got scared and I can't do them any more. The stupid thing is I know I'm capable, I just won't go! So I feel your pain! By the way this is an awesome thread!

    Weird Gym Drama

    *WARNING: MAJOR RANT**So my gym recently got a new head coach of the women's program. She's been working there for a while, coaching our highest level girls, but she is not a very nice person...she coached a group for a while with a wide age and level range, in which she would go whole practices...

    Going to gym when you don't feel good??

    I know how you feel!! I hate skipping gym, so i usually go when I'm tired, but I'm always worried I'll hurt myself so I ask my coach if I can not do the scary stuff...like no tumbling, no vault, and when the rest of my group does those things I condition. But at the same time if you know you...

    Coaches Lesson Plans

    Hey! Does anyone have any good ideas for kindergym (1 hour) or recreational girls gymnastics? Our kinders always do the same thing and it gets really boring! I'd also appreciate hearing about any games or theme days! Thanks!

    Need some Fundraising Ideas!!!

    A movie night might be fun...everyone could get comfy on the floor on mats and you could rent a projector and show a movie on the wall...and you could also sell popcorn and snacks :)

    broken pinky toe?

    I agree with everyone else...tape, doctor, ice, advil...but also try to guard it with your life!! Sore toes have a tendency to get jammed/stepped on/stubbed way more often than before you hurt it! Its a fact of life!

    Why wouldn't someone want to compete?

    I was wonderring the same thing...it could be fear of competition, or maybe the person doesn't want to commit to so much time in the gym...it's a huge commitment and a lot of money!! I bet competing also changes the sport for a lot of people - from something that is a lot like playing around on...

    there's no crying in gymnastics.. right??

    I pretty much only cry at gym when i get hurt...now. But a couple years ago I cried like every day during conditioning...and believe me crying is not as embarassing as it gets! When I hurt my knee this year I screamed and then fell over and literally started chewing on the mat...(and I'm 17!!)...
