    Optional Routines

    my first year of level 7, i used some music that another older girl had used before she came to my gym and i absolutely fell in LOVE with this music when i first heard it! so we got a coach from the U of A to coreograph it, so it wasnt the same routine as the other girl, but it was mine, fit to...

    Ankle Injury:-/ Advice?

    sounds like something that happened to me! i was doing a full and landed on the side of my foot.. it swelled up and looked like a softball - no lie. i know it might be a little late based on the date, but it still wouldn't hurt now.. and it could help in the future. but along with a hot epsom...

    Shorts?

    shorts save my life. i feel so uncomfortable without them, and they dont affect how i practice or how i do at a meet. most of our team wears them, but were only allowed to wear tight soffees or the spandex (velvet) kind. they have told girls to go take their nike tempos off.. which was a bad...

    Why doesn't being a good compulsory mean you will be a good optional?

    you can also be a good compulsory but not do too hot in optionals because of some reasons i have seen: - in compulsories you are limited to what you can do. in level 4, i believe, you cannot do a vertical handstand on beam because you will get a deduction. i have not figured out why this is...

    i did gym when i was about 5 or 6, but then stopped to do cheerleading. i did that for about 6 or 7 years and decided to take some tumbling classes from my gym. then my mom asked me if id want to start gymnastics to get my strength up so i could be a better cheerleader, and after the season was...

    Do you think a 'No Dating' rule should apply to non-competitive gymnasts?

    well, i think that is pretty stupid and controlling to tell the team they can't date anyone at all, even if it doesn't interfere with workouts. i think that decision should be left up to the gymnast and her parents, not the coaches at the gym. i'm currently talking to a guy and dated a guy last...
