I have had the privilege of meeting and hanging with two fantastic CB members at meets this year. It has been a wonderful experience to be able to support each other's kids, get a laugh in to take a load off, scratch our heads together over scores and cheer for the girls when they make the...

What is the deduction for putting your hands on the beam to avoid a fall? Does it count as a fall (-.05)? My DD did this after a big wobble landing a jump. Both hands touched the beam. Poor kid can't seem to stay on the beam or keep her hands off when they're not supposed to be, this season. I...

I have a question for coaches about strenth to weight ratio and body type. My DD is 8 y.o. (will turn 9 in Dec.), weighs about 70 lbs. I am not positive about her height. At her check up last year she was 4'1. I think she has probably grown another inch, at least. Anyway, she has very, very...

But, I am going to watch the women's qualifying on the live feed! I watched the men yesterday morning and the feed quality was awful - choppy at best and crashing constantly. I liked hearing Shannon Miller commentate. I watched the men again on NBC primetime coverage and will do the same...

Hi all :) I am going to give you some background first. I also wish I had a video to post because I know it makes it a lot easier to give skill advice when there's one. Maybe I will try and take one tomorrow at the gym. My DD has been having issues with her RO BHS for awhile now. My guess that...

DD had her 2nd L4 meet yesterday. She ended up in an 8-11 year old age group because there weren't enough of each age to break it down furthur (and she's still 7)! Here's how she did: Started on vault - Our team was up first and my DD went first (she volunteered - ugh! lol). Score was 8.0, down...

Well, we are home from the first meet and DD had the best time. I mean she just beamed all day with her teammates. They were so supportive of each other and positive - lots of smiles and laughs :) I was of course a nervous wreck. DD's team started on beam first and that is definitely her...

DD has her first meet ever tomorrow (L4). If you could throw some good luck her way, it'd be much appreciated. She is SO nervous! (And so is Mom, but trying not to let it show!:cool:) Thanks and good luck to any DD/DS's competing this weekend!

Hi all! I wanted to reintroduce myself since I haven't been on here for months and only posted once, at that. :o A lot changed for my family in a very short amount of time, but we are all happy, especially my little gymmie. DD switched gyms a few months before she was to start competing L3...

Hi all :) I took my DD, who is a first season L3, to practice last night and I found out from the coach that the group (which I thought was quite large to begin with at 11 girls), has now increased to 16! I decided to just keep my mind open and watch and see what happened. Well, the entire 3...

Hi Everyone :) I wanted to introduce myself, as I just joined the forum today. I am the Mom of a 6 year old girl who has been taking gymnastics for about 10 months. She was moved to pre-team after 3 months of being in a rec class. We recently moved to another city and, of course, had to move...
