school

Currently DD finishes gym at 8pm. When I drive her home I pack her a dinner that she eats in the car so that when she gets home she can shower and do homework and get to bed. Lately we have started carpooling home more and I am considering sending DD with a packed dinner so that she can eat...

Looking to see if anyone is dealing with this-- my gymmie is rarely sore after practice- even a hard fought conditioning session. But she completed a timed mile run on Monday and thighs, shins, calves have been aching....normal...any other gymmies with same issues?

DS (10) school has come up with a pretty cool school camp which will run wednesdaymorning untill friday afternoon. But... DS has an international competition in trampolining in the weekend for which we will have to drive friday morning really early (9 hour drive), have training friday night and...

and not homeschool? curious how that works with the public school system and how you approached the schools with working it out. our coach said he knows some families (not at our gym) that make it work but need more info before going into the school and starting with the principal who isn't...

...so did anyone else cave and buy any? I couldn't help it. Darn you Plum, for such an amazing fall line....:rolleyes::oops: My dd was so excited to see all the new ones!

My DD is starting middle school next year and the bus will pick up at 6:45. This is a huge difference as now she does not even have to wake up until 7:30. In tandem practice hours will be extended another half hour on the back end getting her home around 9:25. She only has 1/2 hour in between...

Agh! I can't believe it..a few if y'all are familiar with our recent gym drama, resulting in us switching gyms this month. My daughter (level 2 preteam)LOVES it, and has told me every day how she can't wait to go and wants to be a "competition girl." One of the (many) reasons I have fallen in...

Would love feedback from anyone has modified school schedules to facilitate gym practices? I know I have seen threads about it before but can't find them now. Trying to figure out how we will handle a later school day when daughter starts middle school and 4 hour gym practices. Kids don't get...

Hi. My daughter is a level 8 7th grader. I was wondering if any of you are able to obtain any kind of exemption in school for PE or electives or language or art or music in order to give them additional study hall hours. We are finding that daughter's training schedule, which is 22 hours a...

their gymnast, I mean, not you yourself!

Hi everyone! My daughter is currently a level 7 and started cyber school this year. She is looking for a pen pal to send letters and small treats or gifts back and forth. I thought it would be really special if her pen pal was another gymnast. Are there any groups that anyone is aware of that I...

My child switched gyms this year to a elite gym. She is currently a level 8. The coach wants her there at 2 but school doesn't end till 2:37. I have to drive 45 minutes to the gymnastics school. I asked the principal for permission for to leave an hour early and to rearrange the class she would...

There is a head coaching position open at a local high school. It's only 4 months out of the year. Feel free to contact me for more information. The position is posted at on the high school website. www.basd.net Click on Human Resource tab, then employment opportunities.

What skills does your local high school require you to have for tryouts? I'm too busy to actually be on my team, just curious :)

My DD goes to a year round school -they get about 7 weeks off for summer. Our gym (as well as the other gyms in the area) has a 9 week summer schedule -so it starts 2 weeks before DD gets out of school for the summer. It's not a problem this year as DD's practice starts after school hours -but...

I noticed that HD gym is almost never a topic of conversation here. Do any of your kids participate? My DD has a few years before she gets to that point, but I am curious about the pros and cons. I know several girls who compete HS and then come back to club after the season is over to...

My DD is in 6th grade and a level 8 gymnast. She trains 23 hours a week. She is a straight "A" student and takes her studies very serious, including her PE grade. This was her first year in middle school and she is having all sorts of knee and foot pain. I realize some might be related to...

I have a gymnast who is graduating high school and would like to continue to compete on the JO track. She is a level 9 and going to a local college with no gymnastics team. Does anyone know the rules on this? We have only done adult AAU before.

Hi everyone. My daughter is working on a project for school where they are to create a presentation about their passion. Mine, of course, chose gymnastics. I was very proud of her approach though and told her that I would reach out to you guys for some help. She has chosen to focus on how...
