    Laura from coaches forum!

    Parents Information for gym newbies!

    I have a girlfriend who's planning to put her 4 year old in gymnastics, because she wants to "make her like Bean, all flippy and stuff" lol! I've spent some time talking to her about the sport to fill her in on what to expect. When we got started, we had NO idea what we were signing up for...

    Parents Encouragement or pressure?

    Bean came home from training last night really excited! While she said most of the practice was just kind of average, she was really pumped that she had “rockedâ€￾ her Beam! She told me about hitting her series again and again, and that her switch split, split jump has been changed to switch...

    USAG Level 8?

    Hi everyone! In my thread about my daughter's level, there were a number of people questioning some of the skills in her routine. I know that being in Canada, we have different criteria for each level, but was wondering what is allowed in the US. Does anyone know of a simple breakdown...

    Parents We have a level!

    Bean came home from gym yesterday with good news and bad. Good news: she had her beam routine choreographed. Bad news, the skills included are for level 8. So, although no ones come right out and said it, it's a safe bet that level 8 it is! She loves her routine, but the excitement was...

    Well, I re-read the "missing school for gym" thread a few times, and decided to take action. The staff are back this week, so I called, hoping to avoid the frustration of trying to reach them during the crazy 1st week chaos! I called yesterday, but had to leave a VM for the principal. When...

    Parents Looking for opinions!

    I know we *must* have some opinionated parent here on the board, so it's time to speak your piece! Bean's coach has narrowed down her floor music to 2 choices. Both tangos, and quite similar. She's given Bean the option to choose, which is proving to be difficult! She's having a hard time...

    Parents Bean Update!

    Hi Everyone! It's been awhile, so it's time for an update! Our spring and summer here kicked off a little bit early. Some of you may remember that I was facing surgery for what looked to be a cancer recurrance. Turns out it was, so I had my surgery on June 12th. I'm midway through...
