quit

I see so many gymnasts quit the gym at the level 8 . What reasons for quitting? I am very curious level 8 already high level, why they quit gymnastics. It is because of high school , too much work? It is not worth it investing too much time and money for the sport?

Ok, I have dreaded this one. LOTS and LOTS of mixed answers. My DD is a super hard working, determined, hard headed gal. She knows what she wants and she gets it. She takes everything she does seriously; gymnastics and she coaches gymnastics. She coaches for her gym and they said that she is...

I need help, my daughter wants to quit gymnastics. I told her she had to finish the summer and attend her team summer camp for a week, then we could talk. At the end of last season her coach quit to take a new job, my daughter was heartbroken. We have been through that before, even switching...

My 13 year old level 7/8 daughter just quit gymnastics yesterday. She has been doing gymnastics for 5-6 years but switched gyms almost a year ago exactly. The gym had been better, the coaches were great, but there were some issues with her teammates. A couple of them were anti-Semitic towards...

Hi. I am mom of a level 6 gymnast. She will be 12 years old in September. Gymnastics has been her passion since age of 5, has always loved it and always happy to go to practice. She has been successful and has always placed in top 5, on top 100 gymnasts in country, state champ, etc. Coaches all...

I searched but most posts were about older kids. My daughter is 7, started on the team at 6. We had no idea about gymnastics and especially team but she was invited to be on the team so we decided to try it. She seems happy at the gym, is friends with all the girls, does handstands and...

Hi there, I’m a 14 year old gymnast and I’ve been in this sport for about 6-7 years already. We have an assessment on april 26th which is to determine if I am eligible for the junior spot on the national team or not. I have been dreading this assessment for literally forever now, at first I...

DD is a 9yo Level 6 and while talented has always been inconsistent. Amazing potential, not great focus and mixed results. She came out of quarantine on fire and got all her L6 skills in the summer. Then she started school again (with night practice) and lost many of them. She seems tired, cries...

So I have done gymnastics for 4 years now. 2 rec and 2 competitively.this year a was a Xcel silver that had all platinum skills(they wanted me to compete silver before I did platinum). Anywho, I ended up with tendinitis in both knees before the end of the competition season. The last meet I...

Hi, I am a gymnast currently competing in Platinum. It is almost the end of my competitive season ( one more competition plus states) and I have been contemplating whether I should quit or not. I have been competing for 5 years now, but I have been at my gym since I was a baby. I no longer...

I have been doing gymnastics for about nine years now (I’m 14). I was going to compete level 7 last year but I injured my elbow. I moved to Xcel after that season was over (which I didn’t compete in) and now I am supposed to compete as a diamond. My level 7 coaches said that I could stay with...

The past few days I’ve wanted to quit gymnastics. I had debilitating muscle pain in my back a few weeks ago (MRI was clear), and then it cleared up in about a month, and then I strained my back again last week doing too many front aerials. I’m really upset about this. I also have a shin splint...

*just a little warning this is going to be long sorry* I am 16 and I am currently a sophomore. I have done gymnastics since I was 2 in the mommy and me class (14 years!). Lately gymnastics has been getting harder for me because I have been wanting to quit. I am a level 5 gymnast who would be...

My DD is 9 and in L6. She has been doing gymnastics since she was 4. She has always loved gymnastics. Recently she “lost” her backspring in her round off backspring back tuck ...again. She also said a lot of her teammates are moving up to L7 and she doesn’t want to. She also says that gym isn’t...

Our daughter is sophomore and competes on both high school and club teams. She is currently recovering from ankle avulsion fracture. Been in walking boot for 6 weeks, and is waiting for doctor to return her to activity. 3 years ago, she had to undergo elbow reconstruction and missed entire...

Well she lasted 4 days, let’s see who they pick next. Maybe they can do just a bit more work on it, maybe consult some of their ex elites?? Discuss without politics please.

Advice needed: Hi guys my daughter is 11 and training level 8. We just moved to a new city and after trying a few gyms, she joined one about a month ago. She currently has shin splints pretty bad and her passion for the sport doesn’t seem to be there right now. She says she wants to quit...

do you know anyone that has made their child quit? what have been the circumstances?

A bit of background info: I'm 15 and I've been doing trampoline for about 6 years now, 5 of them competitively. I'm at (Canadian) provincial level 4 which is the level at which you can qualify for level 5 (national). I remember that probably for the first two years I competed, I was so eager...

I am a 13 year old level 7 gymnast. (Training 8) Starting in February I have wanted to quit gymnastics. I didn’t tell my parents until April and they kept making exucses of why I shouldn’t quit. My parents aren’t ready, but I am. I have talked with my coach and she said she would have never...
